A12211	A friendly advertisement to the pretended Catholickes of Ireland declaring, for their satisfaction; that both the Kings supremacie, and the faith whereof his Majestie is the defender, are consonant to the doctrine delivered in the holy Scriptures, and writings of the ancient fathers. And consequently, that the lawes and statutes enacted in that behalfe, are dutifully to be observed by all his Majesties subjects within that kingdome. By Christopher Sibthorp, Knight, one of his Maiesties iustices of his court of chiefe place in Ireland. In the end whereof, is added an epistle written to the author, by the Reverend Father in God, Iames Vssher Bishop of Meath: wherein it is further manifested, that the religion anciently professed in Ireland is, for substance, the same with that, which at this day is by publick authoritie established therein.	Sibthorp, Christopher, Sir, d. 1632.; Ussher, James, 1581-1656.	1622 (1622)	STC 22522; ESTC S102408	494,750	610

the_o protestant_n concern_v justification_n by_o this_o lively_a faith_n and_o not_o by_o any_o dead_a faith_n be_v such_o as_o you_o can_v no_o way_n dislike_v &_o that_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v any_o careless_a of_o do_v good_a work_n that_o contrariwise_o it_o urge_v abet_v persuade_v and_o provoke_v man_n unto_o they_o if_o they_o mean_v or_o desire_v to_o have_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o whereby_o they_o may_v be_v save_v but_o now_o although_o the_o protestant_n do_v thus_o right_o teach_v that_o this_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n go_v together_o and_o be_v inseparable_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n so_o that_o he_o that_o have_v this_o faith_n have_v also_o good_a work_n yet_o in_o the_o point_n of_o our_o justification_n in_o god_n sight_n and_o before_o his_o tribunal_n 3.20.28_o they_o be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v and_o to_o be_v consider_v apart_o and_o not_o confusedlie_o because_o it_o be_v faith_n only_o and_o not_o work_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v and_o apply_v christ_n jesus_n unto_o we_o as_o our_o righteousness_n to_o understand_v this_o the_o better_a you_o must_v ever_o remember_v that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v in_o very_a deed_n our_o righteousness_n for_o so_o the_o scripture_n do_v plentifullie_o teach_v and_o proclaim_v our_o faith_n be_v but_o the_o hand_n or_o instrument_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v and_o apply_v that_o righteousness_n unto_o we_o and_o our_o good_a work_n be_v the_o fruit_n testimony_n and_o declaration_n both_o to_o ourselves_o and_o other_o man_n of_o that_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v he_o have_v faith_n but_o if_o he_o have_v that_o true_a livelie_o and_o justify_v faith_n etc._n which_o he_o

that_o faith_n which_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n but_o this_o be_v yet_o further_o evident_a because_o s._n paul_n say_v expresselie_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n 5.1_o and_o so_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n he_o further_o exclude_v work_n very_o direct_o and_o by_o name_n from_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o that_o act_n of_o our_o justification_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v say_v he_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n 3.28_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 4.6_o and_o again_o he_o say_v that_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n again_o he_o say_v it_o be_v by_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o work_n rom._n 11.6_o 11.6_o and_o again_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o of_o work_n rom._n 9.11_o and_o again_o he_o say_v 11._o by_o grace_n be_v you_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o for_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v himself_o 10._o in_o all_o

the_o galatian_n where_o he_o give_v this_o conclusion_n 3.26_o say_v you_o be_v all_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o also_o testify_v s._n john_n say_v 1.12_o that_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v christ_n to_o they_o he_o give_v this_o prerogative_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n where_o you_o may_v

the_o first_o and_o original_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o be_v the_o mere_a grace_n and_o love_n of_o god_n second_o the_o material_a cause_n to_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n with_o

against_o thou_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o take_v away_o the_o serpent_n from_o we_o and_o moses_n pray_v for_o the_o people_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n make_v thou_o a_o

that_o he_o there_o express_o and_o by_o name_n rehearse_v and_o bring_v in_o one_o of_o those_o ten_o commandment_n but_o yet_o further_o he_o show_v that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n of_o

to_o think_v it_o it_o be_v then_o a_o thing_n very_o manifest_a that_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o of_o the_o work_v also_o of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o of_o these_o chief_o exclude_v aswell_o the_o work_n of_o the_o one_o as_o of_o the_o other_o 12.16_o from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n in_o god_n sight_n and_o this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o evident_a because_o s._n paul_n yet_o further_o in_o that_o his_o dispute_n of_o justification_n exclude_v not_o only_o the_o jew_n but_o the_o gentile_n also_o from_o all_o hope_n of_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n teach_v that_o they_o both_o be_v to_o expect_v justification_n in_o god_n sight_n not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 2.15.16_o but_o by_o

aswell_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v bind_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n when_o therefore_o s._n paul_n teach_v that_o aswell_o the_o gentile_n as_o the_o

which_o be_v before_o mention_v namely_o that_o s._n paul_n when_o he_o exclude_v work_n from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o justification_n in_o god_n sight_n mean_v it_o of_o work_n do_v before_o faith_n

before_o god_n and_o in_o his_o sight_n this_o have_v be_v before_o sufficient_o answer_v yet_o because_o they_o so_o often_o and_o usual_o urge_v it_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v offensive_a that_o i_o also_o here_o once_o again_o make_v answer_n unto_o it_o first_o therefore_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o call_v to_o your_o remembrance_n that_o which_o have_v be_v speak_v concern_v those_o two_o faithful_a &_o godly_a man_n abraham_n and_o david_n who_o albeit_o they_o have_v after_o faith_n &_o grace_n receive_v from_o god_n live_v well_o and_o do_v sundry_a good_a work_n for_o which_o they_o may_v deserve_v praise_n and_o glory_n among_o man_n yet_o 5._o for_o all_o that_o they_o deserve_v no_o praise_n nor_o glory_n with_o god_n as_o s._n paul_n witness_v nor_o be_v thereby_o

and_o good_a work_n he_o never_o think_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n tribunal_n but_o find_v all_o the_o godliness_n and_o goodness_n that_o be_v in_o he_o to_o be_v too_o defective_a and_o to_o come_v too_o short_a for_o that_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o also_o he_o cry_v out_o thus_o unto_o god_n say_v enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n 143.2_o for_o in_o thy_o

of_o david_n 4.6_o that_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n so_o that_o neither_o the_o work_n which_o david_n do_v nor_o the_o work_n which_o abraham_n do_v nor_o consequent_o the_o work_n that_o any_o other_o godly_a or_o holy_a man_n do_v after_o grace_n and_o faith_n receive_v be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v in_o god_n presence_n for_o i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o say_v s._n paul_n yet_o be_o i_o not_o thereby_o justify_v 4.4_o i_o may_v here_o further_o desire_v you_o to_o call_v to_o your_o remembrance_n that_o holy_a man_n job_n and_o that_o holy_a prophet_n of_o god_n daniel_n 6._o yea_o all_o that_o godly_a company_n and_o church_n of_o god_n in_o daniel_n time_n and_o esaies_n time_n who_o all_o do_v as_o themselves_o testify_v renounce_v all_o their_o

in_o the_o former_a chapter_n touch_v this_o matter_n for_o not_o the_o work_n even_o of_o a_o just_a man_n do_v justify_v in_o god_n sight_n as_o s._n paul_n prove_v by_o a_o express_a testimony_n
