by_o this_o justification_n i_o mean_v that_o act_n of_o god_n grace_n whereby_o through_o the_o imputation_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o christ_n and_o christ_n righteousness_n unto_o we_o god_n the_o father_n do_v pronounce_v we_o righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n this_o be_v justification_n and_o this_o be_v do_v by_o the_o righteousness_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n only_o as_o the_o material_a and_o meritorious_a cause_n it_o be_v do_v only_o by_o faith_n as_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n so_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o yet_o not_o so_o as_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n which_o have_v no_o work_n for_o all_o justify_v faith_n be_v full_a of_o work_n but_o these_o work_n do_v not_o come_v into_o our_o justification_n as_o now_o a_o man_n servant_n they_o have_v he_o to_o bed_n servant_n have_v their_o master_n and_o mistress_n to_o bed_n tend_v upon_o they_o to_o bed_n but_o they_o do_v not_o go_v into_o the_o bed_n with_o they_o they_o be_v with_o they_o again_o in_o the_o morning_n they_o bring_v they_o water_n and_o necessary_a thing_n but_o they_o do_v not_o come_v to_o bed_v to_o they_o now_o say_v luther_n justification_n be_v that_o bed_n where_o christ_n and_o a_o believe_v soul_n lie_v &_o though_o good_a work_n duty_n and_o prayer_n tend_v upon_o christ_n and_o where_o ever_o there_o be_v faith_n there_o be_v these_o yet_o this_o bed_n of_o justification_n be_v keep_v free_a and_o entire_a and_o only_o for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o come_v not_o to_o bed_v they_o come_v not_o into_o this_o work_n or_o if_o you_o will_v thus_o you_o know_v that_o when_o a_o israelite_n be_v sting_v in_o the_o wilderness_n by_o a_o fiery_a bite_a serpent_n he_o be_v then_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n and_o by_o the_o behold_n of_o the_o brasen-serpent_n he_o be_v cure_v the_o look_v of_o his_o eye_n cure_v he_o he_o have_v other_o member_n there_o be_v the_o arm_n and_o the_o leg_n and_o other_o member_n that_o do_v accompany_v the_o eye_n but_o though_o there_o be_v other_o member_n that_o do_v accompany_v the_o eye_n it_o be_v the_o see_v of_o the_o eye_n that_o do_v cure_v the_o person_n and_o so_o though_o work_n do_v accompany_v faith_n and_o there_o be_v no_o save_v justify_v faith_n but_o work_v accompany_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v only_o the_o behold_n of_o this_o brasen-serpent_n by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n that_o do_v cure_v the_o soul_n as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n when_o abraham_n go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n he_o speak_v to_o his_o servant_n to_o stay_v below_o 22.5_o gen._n 22.5_o stay_v you_o here_o till_o i_o come_v again_o at_o the_o foot_n and_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o hill_n and_o so_o they_o do_v servants_z he_o have_v but_o they_o stay_v below_o and_o so_o when_o a_o man_n go_v up_o into_o this_o hill_n of_o justification_n this_o high_a mountain_n he_o take_v only_o his_o faith_n with_o he_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o all_o his_o work_n and_o unto_o all_o his_o duty_n stay_v you_o below_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o hill_n and_o there_o they_o attend_v so_o that_o faith_n justify_v faith_n though_o it_o have_v always_o work_n yet_o they_o come_v not_o into_o this_o matter_n of_o justification_n it_o be_v faith_n alone_o that_o justify_v this_o by_o way_n of_o explication_n quest_n 2_o but_o second_o you_o will_v say_v how_o may_v it_o appear_v now_o that_o this_o free-justification_n of_o a_o poor_a sinner_n by_o faith_n alone_o be_v the_o original_n of_o all_o our_o holiness_n and_o spiritual_a life_n answ_n 1_o thus_o it_o appear_v by_o contrary_n contrary_n have_v contrary_a consequence_n if_o the_o law_n and_o justification_n thereby_o be_v no_o friend_n but_o a_o real_a enemy_n unto_o all_o our_o grace_n and_o holiness_n than_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o be_v a_o friend_n to_o it_o but_o now_o take_v the_o law_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o justification_n thereby_o be_v no_o friend_n but_o a_o real_a enemy_n unto_o all_o our_o holiness_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n what_o great_a enemy_n have_v the_o world_n ever_o to_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n than_o the_o jew_n be_v and_o they_o seek_v to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n and_o now_o a_o day_n what_o more_o bitter_a &_o more_o fell_a enemy_n unto_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n than_o a_o moral_a civil_a man_n why_o because_o though_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v himself_o yet_o he_o do_v secret_o seek_v his_o acceptance_n with_o god_n by_o his_o own_o do_v and_o good_a meaning_n a_o man_n can_v never_o live_v to_o god_n that_o live_v in_o himself_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n seek_v justification_n by_o his_o own_o do_v &_o work_v he_o live_v in_o himself_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n 3.9_o phil._n 3.9_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o my_o own_o

if_o a_o man_n seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n or_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o all_o work_n be_v imperfect_a and_o if_o no_o hope_n say_v the_o soul_n why_o shall_v i_o work_v as_o good_a never_o a_o whit_n as_o never_o the_o better_a that_o can_v be_v the_o principle_n of_o our_o grace_n and_o holiness_n which_o can_v neither_o convert_v a_o man_n nor_o mortify_v his_o sin_n nor_o quicken_v one_o to_o what_o be_v good_a nor_o comfort_n or_o free_v he_o from_o temptation_n now_o i_o pray_v what_o be_v it_o that_o convert_v a_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v it_o the_o law_n or_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n nay_o 16.9_o joh._n 16.9_o say_v our_o saviour_n i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n and_o he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n but_o where_o do_v i_o receive_v the_o spirit_n say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o next_o chapter_n the_o 3._o of_o the_o galatian_n o_o you_o foolish_a galatian_n this_o will_v i_o know_v of_o you_o receive_v you_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o faith_n not_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n and_o as_o for_o mortification_n of_o sin_n can_v the_o law_n do_v that_o nay_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 8._o of_o the_o roman_n the_o law_n be_v weak_a what_o the_o law_n can_v not_o do_v be_v weak_a god_n send_v his_o own_o son_n to_o condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o the_o law_n can_v mortify_v sin_n the_o law_n can_v do_v it_o and_o as_o for_o our_o quicken_a unto_o what_o be_v good_a can_v the_o law_n do_v that_o nay_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o law_n be_v a_o dead_a letter_n and_o the_o law_n be_v the_o ministration_n of_o death_n and_o can_v that_o which_o be_v a_o dead_a letter_n and_o the_o

the_o apostle_n triumph_v 8.33_o rom._n 8.33_o who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_n and_o who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o may_v charge_v shall_v the_o

in_o hive_n at_o home_n or_o tree_n abroad_o but_o he_o find_v honey-comb_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o dead_a lion_n so_o do_v a_o poor_a tempt_v soul_n find_v all_o the_o honey-comb_n of_o comfort_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o dead_a lion_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n not_o in_o his_o own_o hive_n i_o have_v read_v of_o a_o certain_a man_n that_o be_v much_o in_o prayer_n fast_v and_o read_v and_o the_o devil_n come_v to_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o friend_n why_o do_v thou_o pray_v so_o much_o and_o read_v so_o much_o and_o fast_o so_o much_o it_o be_v all_o to_o n_o purpose_n for_o thou_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n at_o the_o last_o thou_o shall_v never_o go_v to_o heaven_n say_v he_o as_o for_o that_o i_o leave_v that_o to_o god_n it_o be_v not_o my_o question_n whether_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n or_o hell_n but_o my_o question_n be_v how_o shall_v i_o serve_v god_n

and_o live_v to_o god_n have_v he_o now_o seek_v justification_n in_o a_o away_o of_o work_n and_o by_o the_o law_n can_v he_o have_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o have_v answer_v to_o this_o temptation_n you_o may_v see_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 7._o chap._n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o give_v you_o a_o similitude_n thus_o as_o a_o woman_n so_o be_v the_o sell_v of_o every_o man_n so_o long_o as_o a_o woman_n be_v marry_v unto_o one_o man_n she_o bring_v forth_o child_n unto_o he_o and_o not_o unto_o any_o other_o but_o be_v dead_a unto_o all_o other_o but_o when_o that_o man_n die_v she_o be_v free_a to_o marry_v and_o she_o marry_v another_o and_o she_o bring_v forth_o child_n unto_o he_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n at_o the_o 4._o verse_n wherefore_o my_o brethren_n you_o also_o be_v become_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v marry_v to_o another_o even_o to_o he_o who_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a that_o we_o shall_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n so_o that_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v marry_v to_o the_o law_n he_o can_v never_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n now_o then_o thus_o lie_v the_o reason_n if_o that_o the_o law_n and_o justification_n thereby_o be_v no_o friend_n but_o a_o real_a enemy_n unto_o all_o our_o holiness_n then_o contrary_n have_v contrary_a consequence_n justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o be_v a_o friend_n and_o no_o enemy_n unto_o our_o spiritual_a life_n and_o holiness_n seondly_n this_o also_o will_v appear_v if_o you_o consider_v the_o parallel_n between_o the_o first_o and_o second_o adam_n christ_n be_v our_o second_o adam_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o the_o roman_n as_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o death_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o life_n come_v unto_o many_o well_o but_o how_o come_v condemnation_n upon_o all_o man_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o the_o first_o adam_n he_o be_v a_o common_a person_n he_o do_v stand_v for_o all_o mankind_n when_o he_o sin_v all_o mankind_n sin_v and_o therefore_o assoon_o as_o any_o one_o be_v bear_v the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o judicial_o that_o imputation_n be_v the_o original_n of_o all_o the_o unholiness_n that_o be_v among_o the_o child_n of_o man_n so_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o second_o adam_n he_o be_v a_o common_a person_n stand_v in_o the_o room_n of_o all_o the_o elect_n he_o be_v obedient_a not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o they_o christus_fw-la non_fw-la meruit_fw-la sibi_fw-la obey_v not_o for_o himself_o and_o he_o die_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o they_o righteous_a for_o they_o when_o therefore_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n be_v regenerate_v by_o faith_n then_o all_o that_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o and_o this_o imputation_n of_o his_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n be_v the_o original_n of_o all_o that_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o life_n thus_o as_o all_o the_o unholiness_n and_o wickedness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n sin_n so_o all_o that_o grace_n and_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n righteousness_n now_o by_o faith_n alone_o this_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v and_o do_v become_v we_o and_o therefore_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o be_v the_o principle_n and_o original_n of_o all_o our_o grace_n and_o holiness_n three_o if_o free-remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o sense_n thereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o holiness_n then_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o friend_n unto_o it_o for_o these_o two_o free-remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o go_v together_o and_o be_v ordinary_o take_v for_o one_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 3._o of_o the_o roman_n the_o apostle_n have_v say_v as_o the_o 24._o verse_n be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n he_o say_v at_o the_o 28._o ver_fw-la that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n he_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v free_o by_o grace_n these_o be_v put_v together_o now_o free-remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o sense_n thereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o holiness_n you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v 12._o tit._n 2.11_o 12._o the_o grace_n of_o god_n

of_o faith_n and_o after_o once_o i_o understand_v this_o doctrine_n of_o free-remission_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o than_o i_o love_v repentance_n as_o for_o the_o mortification_n

sure_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o can_v be_v no_o enemy_n but_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o real_a friend_n unto_o all_o our_o spiritual_a life_n object_n but_o by_o way_n of_o objection_n it_o will_v be_v say_v in_o the_o three_o place_n this_o doctrine_n of_o free-remission_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o seem_v to_o carry_v somewhat_o with_o it_o that_o be_v opposite_a unto_o
