that_o be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o christ_n or_o competition_n with_o he_o and_o that_o be_v suppose_v meritorious_a and_o intend_v as_o mercenary_a but_o james_n speak_v of_o no_o work_n but_o

on_o the_o condition_n of_o believe_v he_o that_o believe_v and_o whosoever_o believe_v and_o if_o thou_o believe_v do_v plain_o and_o unquestionable_o express_v such_o a_o condition_n upon_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o without_o which_o we_o shall_v not_o the_o antinomian_o most_o unreasonable_o deny_v this_o 2._o and_o the_o nature_n of_o justification_n make_v it_o

honour_n of_o faith_n though_o that_o be_v not_o so_o dangerous_a as_o to_o derogate_v from_o christ_n for_o i_o acknowledge_v faith_n the_o only_a condition_n of_o our_o first_o remission_n and_o

that_o be_v to_o be_v the_o secondary_a part_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o continue_a and_o consummate_a justification_n only_o i_o give_v not_o so_o much_o as_o other_o to_o faith_n because_o i_o

that_o mark_n which_o you_o be_v please_v to_o set_v i_o and_o now_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o exception_n my_o next_o answer_n to_o you_o be_v that_o if_o work_v under_o every_o notion_n be_v exclude_v as_o you_o say_v they_o be_v than_o repentance_n be_v exclude_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o condition_n or_o preparative_n but_o repentance_n under_o that_o notion_n be_v not_o exclude_v therefore_o not_o work_n under_o every_o notion_n to_o this_o you_o reply_v that_o repentance_n be_v not_o exclude_v as_o qualify_a but_o as_o recipient_a which_o what_o be_v it_o but_o a_o plain_a yield_a my_o minor_a and_o so_o the_o cause_n for_o this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o i_o say_v if_o repentance_n be_v a_o work_n or_o act_v of_o we_o and_o not_o exclude_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o qualification_n or_o as_o you_o elsewhere_o yield_v a_o medium_fw-la ordinatum_fw-la and_o a_o condition_n than_o work_n be_v not_o under_o every_o notion_n exclude_v and_o that_o repentance_n be_v not_o recipient_a how_o easy_o do_v i_o yield_v to_o you_o but_o do_v you_o indeed_o think_v that_o when_o paul_n exclude_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n that_o he_o exclude_v they_o only_o as_o recipient_a and_o not_o as_o qualify_a if_o so_o as_o this_o answer_n seem_v to_o import_v see_v you_o will_v not_o have_v i_o here_o distinguish_v between_o work_n of_o law_n and_o of_o gospel_n or_o new_a covenant_n than_o you_o give_v abundance_n more_o to_o work_n of_o the_o law_n then_o i_o do_v or_o dare_v for_o i_o aver_v that_o paul_n exclude_v they_o even_o as_o qualification_n yea_o and_o the_o very_a presence_n of_o they_o and_o that_o the_o jew_n never_o dream_v of_o their_o work_n be_v recipient_a to_o my_o next_o you_o say_v whether_o paul_n dispute_v what_o be_v our_o righteousness_n or_o upon_o what_o term_n it_o be_v make_v we_o it_o do_v not_o much_o matter_n but_o i_o think_v it_o of_o very_o great_a moment_n they_o be_v question_n so_o very_a much_o different_a both_o in_o their_o sense_n and_o importance_n and_o whereas_o you_o think_v paul_n speak_v chief_o of_o the_o manner_n i_o think_v he_o speak_v of_o both_o but_o primary_o of_o the_o quasi_fw-la materia_fw-la and_o of_o the_o manner_n or_o mean_n thereto_o but_o secondary_o in_o reference_n to_o that_o so_o that_o i_o think_v the_o chief_a question_n which_o paul_n do_v debate_v be_v whether_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o our_o own_o work_n or_o merit_n or_o by_o another_o viz._n the_o satisfaction_n of_o a_o surety_n which_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v no_o way_n make_v we_o but_o by_o believe_v therefore_o he_o so_o put_v the_o question_n whether_o by_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o by_o faith_n and_o so_o that_o he_o make_v they_o two_o immediate_a opposite_n not_o grant_v any_o tertium_fw-la i_o easy_o yield_v but_o of_o that_o before_o to_o the_o next_o you_o say_v that_o i_o can_v find_v such_o a_o figure_n for_o faith_n relative_o in_o my_o sense_n answ_n and_o i_o conceive_v that_o faith_n in_o my_o sense_n may_v be_v take_v relative_o full_a as_o well_o as_o in_o you_o doubtless_o acceptance_n of_o a_o offer_a redeemer_n and_o all_o his_o benefit_n do_v relate_v as_o proper_o to_o what_o be_v accept_v viz._n by_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o understanding_n initial_o and_o by_o the_o election_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o will_v

give_v on_o that_o condition_n and_o that_o the_o very_a name_n of_o a_o condition_n be_v relative_a so_o that_o in_o my_o sense_n faith_n relate_v to_o christ_n two_o way_n whereof_o the_o former_a
