A41483	The banner of justification displayed: or; a discourse, concerning the deep, and important mystery of the justification of a sinner wherein the severall causes thereof, being both numerous and various, are from the first to the last diligently enquired after, and their severall contributions towards so great and happy a work, clearly distinguished, and assigned to their proper causes (respectively.) and more particularly is shewed, how God, how the grace of God, how the decree of God, how the soveraign authority of God; how Christ, how the active obedience [of] Christ, how the passive obedience of Christ, how the resurrection of Christ, how the knowledge of Christ; how the spirit of God, how faith, how repentance, how works, how remission of s[in,] how the word, how the minister of the word, how the P[ope?] himself which is justified, may all truly, though upon severall accounts, and after different manners, be sayed to justifie.

in_o effect_n be_v former_o say_v but_o interpretative_a expression_n of_o justification_n itself_o and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o whosoever_o may_v in_o any_o sense_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v

be_v the_o apostle_n own_o expression_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o either_o that_o by_o a_o strong_a hand_n or_o by_o any_o physical_a power_n he_o over-match_v the_o devil_n and_o keep_v himself_o out_o of_o his_o clutch_n and_o from_o be_v carry_v or_o thrust_v by_o he_o into_o hell_n or_o that_o he_o invest_v himself_o with_o the_o state_n of_o blessedness_n and_o glory_n which_o be_v

in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n for_o he_o now_o to_o say_v a_o man_n by_o believe_v take_v a_o effectual_a and_o direct_a course_n to_o prevail_v with_o god_n to_o forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n to_o impute_v righteousness_n unto_o he_o etc._n etc._n be_v as_o proper_a and_o convenient_a expression_n as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o prevail_v with_o he_o to_o justify_v he_o yet_o 3._o and_o last_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n may_v admit_v of_o several_a consideration_n and_o different_a respect_n and_o in_o and_o under_o some_o one_o of_o these_o consideration_n and_o respect_n may_v admit_v of_o some_o attribution_n of_o which_o it_o be_v not_o so_o regular_o or_o smooth_o capable_a under_o another_o as_o for_o instance_n salvation_n
