justification_n by_o work_n spring_v from_o faith_n 71._o be_v justification_n by_o faith_n in_o this_o sense_n again_o they_o say_v that_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v purchase_v this_o grant_n or_o law_n i._n e._n that_o they_o that_o do_v obey_v he_o to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v that_o be_v our_o obedience_n do_v both_o justify_v we_o and_o save_v we_o answ._n the_o vanity_n of_o which_o and_o how_o erroneous_a it_o be_v justific_n we_o have_v show_v some_o time_n since_o *_o 3._o they_o say_v christ_n have_v merit_v a_o new_a law_n or_o easy_a term_n and_o condition_n that_o our_o faith_n obedience_n and_o good_a work_n may_v justify_v and_o save_o we_o but_o what_o say_v paul_n all_o boast_n be_v exclude_v not_o legal_a boast_n only_o but_o all_o boast_n and_o cause_n of_o boast_v but_o by_o their_o new_a law_n boast_v be_v let_v in_o moreover_o he_o say_v 11.6_o if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v not_o of_o work_n and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n it_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n or_o else_o grace_n be_v no_o more_o grace_n and_o work_v no_o more_o work_n brethren_n work_n can_v mix_v with_o free_a grace_n they_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o each_o other_o in_o their_o nature_n beside_o these_o man_n forget_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v alone_o by_o the_o obedience_n and_o righteousness_n of_o one_o 19_o even_o as_o we_o be_v make_v sinner_n by_o the_o disobedience_n of_o one_o and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o we_o for_o it_o be_v by_o the_o disobedience_n of_o adam_n as_o impute_v to_o we_o that_o we_o become_v sinner_n in_o a_o word_n christ_n have_v wrought_v out_o a_o righteousness_n for_o we_o which_o be_v put_v upon_o we_o or_o account_v or_o impute_v to_o we_o and_o not_o that_o christ_n merit_v a_o law_n that_o a_o justify_v righteousness_n may_v be_v wrought_v out_o in_o we_o or_o by_o we_o in_o conform_v to_o that_o new_a law_n 1.30_o who_o of_o god_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n not_o only_o that_o his_o righteousness_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n as_o mr._n clark_n affirm_v p._n 104._o but_o the_o material_a cause_n thereof_o or_o that_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v no_o other_o righteousness_n but_o he_o which_o be_v perfect_a be_v pleadable_a at_o god_n bar._n 4._o we_o say_v that_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v the_o acceptance_n of_o his_o person_n or_o the_o pronounce_v he_o just_a and_o righteous_a in_o god_n sight_n through_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n whereby_o he_o have_v a_o full_a right_n and_o title_n to_o eternal_a life_n they_o say_v that_o justification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n 13_o i._n e._n the_o not_o execute_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n due_a by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o a_o acceptance_n of_o a_o man_n so_o long_o as_o he_o perform_v the_o new_a condition_n of_o sincere_a obedience_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n and_o for_o your_o soul_n sake_n beware_v of_o those_o man_n and_o their_o new_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n for_o it_o appear_v salvation_n must_v be_v a_o debt_n and_o not_o whole_o of_o grace_n if_o what_o they_o say_v be_v true_a because_o it_o be_v grant_v upon_o our_o

and_o this_o so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v be_v that_o which_o be_v their_o covenant_n of_o grace_n not_o that_o christ_n engage_v for_o we_o to_o the_o father_n to_o do_v all_o for_o we_o and_o

two_o argument_n more_o to_o what_o this_o worthy_a author_n have_v say_v viz._n if_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n be_v not_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o covenant_n of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n which_o god_n call_v his_o covenant_n the_o covenant_n of_o my_o peace_n shall_v not_o be_v remove_v say_v the_o lord_n then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o our_o peace_n be_v make_v with_o god_n or_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o by_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o we_o enter_v into_o with_o he_o which_o covenant_n christ_n merit_v for_o we_o in_o his_o perform_v the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o how_o be_v it_o paul_n say_v god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n to_o himself_o indeed_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v see_v this_o notion_n of_o two_o distinct_a covenant_n of_o redemption_n and_o of_o grace_n seem_v to_o be_v defend_v of_o late_a on_o purpose_n to_o favour_v the_o grand_a error_n of_o our_o new_a methodist_n viz._n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n say_v they_o christ_n make_v god_n amends_o for_o our_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n by_o himself_o alone_o and_o for_o himself_o only_o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v a_o fit_a mediator_n and_o merit_v a_o new_a law_n of_o faith_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n for_o their_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o law_n of_o obedience_n which_o law_n or_o covenant_n he_o confirm_v by_o his_o death_n so_o that_o now_o god_n say_v they_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n with_o mankind_n and_o if_o they_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o or_o so_o far_o as_o they_o do_v so_o far_o they_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n provide_v they_o continue_v unto_o the_o end_n and_o thus_o as_o before_o i_o have_v hint_v christ_n be_v our_o legal_a righteousness_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n he_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o work_n or_o the_o strict_a law_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n by_o give_v god_n a_o satisfy_a recompense_n and_o so_o he_o have_v abolish_v the_o law_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n but_o our_o faith_n inherent-righteousness_n gospel-holiness_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n be_v our_o evangelical_n righteousness_n or_o that_o which_o justify_v we_o at_o god_n bar_n or_o in_o his_o sight_n now_o this_o dangerous_a error_n i_o say_v seem_v to_o follow_v the_o allow_v of_o two_o distinct_a covenant_n 2._o there_o be_v no_o distinction_n between_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n because_o redemption_n presuppose_v peace_n and_o reconciliation_n and_o not_o only_a god_n reconciliation_n to_o we_o but_o our_o reconciliation_n to_o he_o for_o redemption_n be_v not_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n
in_o time_n this_o be_v do_v absolute_o in_o god_n bestow_v grace_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o promise_n to_o dead_a creature_n or_o to_o sinner_n as_o sinner_n in_o who_o as_o say_v our_o worthy_a
