the_o apostle_n declare_v two_o thing_n concern_v himself_o the_o first_o his_o good_a conscience_n the_o second_o that_o he_o be_v not_o thereby_o justify_v by_o which_o all_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n be_v exclude_v from_o justification_n yea_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v justify_v before_o he_o can_v do_v any_o good_a work_n or_o any_o thing_n please_v unto_o god_n so_o that_o those_o work_n that_o follow_v justification_n can_v no_o way_n effect_v it_o or_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o as_o all_o work_n be_v exclude_v so_o all_o virtue_n faith_n only_o except_v for_o as_o he_o that_o receive_v a_o gift_n put_v forth_o his_o hand_n only_o but_o after_o he_o have_v receive_v it_o not_o only_o his_o hand_n but_o his_o tongue_n and_o his_o foot_n and_o his_o other_o member_n which_o confer_v nothing_o in_o the_o receive_n testify_v their_o thankfulness_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o receive_v the_o matter_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o soul_n not_o by_o hope_n or_o charity_n but_o after_o christ_n be_v receive_v and_o embrace_v these_o grace_n likewise_o manifest_v themselves_o with_o all_o the_o rest_n which_o spring_n from_o faith_n the_o fountain_n that_o sanctify_v cleanse_v and_o purify_v the_o heart_n sprinkle_v it_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o which_o fountain_n arise_v all_o the_o stream_n of_o all_o other_o save_v grace_n that_o appear_v in_o our_o life_n and_o this_o mr._n montague_n be_v the_o save_a doctrine_n of_o justification_n which_o when_o the_o church_n of_o england_n so_o firm_o hold_v forth_o declare_v and_o preach_v it_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o believe_v and_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o peter_n when_o it_o exclude_v all_o merit_n and_o work_n from_o justification_n and_o look_n for_o salvation_n in_o christ_n by_o faith_n alone_o for_o which_o its_o believe_v it_o have_v very_o good_a reason_n for_o if_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n do_v not_o by_o their_o own_o righteousness_n merit_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n which_o be_v by_o god_n himself_o there_o exclude_v deut._n 9_o which_o be_v but_o the_o type_n how_o much_o less_o can_v any_o man_n by_o his_o merit_n merit_v heaven_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n typify_v but_o that_o i_o may_v neither_o leave_v you_o mr._n montague_n nor_o any_o romanist_n any_o ground_n of_o cavil_n i_o shall_v by_o your_o patience_n say_v something_o here_o several_o and_o by_o itself_o to_o a_o poor_a objection_n that_o be_v often_o make_v by_o the_o papist_n against_o our_o doctrine_n of_o free_a justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o who_o often_o contest_v that_o in_o the_o whole_a scripture_n it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o that_o particle_n alone_o say_v they_o be_v not_o where_o insert_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o be_v only_o put_v in_o by_o we_o but_o for_o answer_v i_o desire_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o howsoever_o that_o particle_n in_o so_o many_o letter_n be_v not_o in_o express_a term_n specify_v there_o be_v in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o set_v down_o that_o that_o be_v equivalent_a to_o it_o as_o will_v by_o and_o by_o appear_v and_o however_o i_o say_v that_o word_n alone_o be_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n notwithstanding_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v clear_o confirm_v our_o opinion_n of_o free_a justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v of_o it_o that_o have_v not_o resign_v his_o reason_n and_o so_o evident_o declare_v it_o as_o if_o he_o have_v in_o express_a word_n say_v by_o faith_n alone_o for_o faith_n behold_v and_o look_v upon_o something_o without_o we_o that_o be_v the_o mercy_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n promise_v in_o a_o mediator_n which_o be_v the_o sure_a mercy_n of_o david_n and_o this_o mercy_n alone_o do_v justify_v we_o and_o this_o mercy_n do_v faith_n alone_o apprehend_v wherefore_o the_o name_n of_o faith_n take_v by_o itself_o denote_v as_o much_o as_o faith_n alone_o and_o by_o itself_o beside_o paul_n in_o this_o business_n and_o work_n of_o justification_n join_v nothing_o with_o faith_n and_o therefore_o he_o teach_v that_o faith_n alone_o do_v suffice_v for_o if_o it_o have_v nothing_o join_v and_o couple_v with_o it_o in_o justify_v or_o absolve_v of_o we_o than_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v we_o for_o whatsoever_o can_v add_v or_o confer_v any_o thing_n to_o our_o justification_n all_o that_o be_v remove_v and_o exclude_v from_o faith_n in_o our_o justification_n for_o what_o be_v it_o mr._n montague_n i_o pray_v think_v you_o that_o in_o this_o cause_n or_o business_n shall_v be_v join_v with_o faith_n i_o presume_v you_o will_v say_v work_n now_o then_o if_o work_n be_v remove_v sever_a and_o disjoin_v from_o faith_n and_o that_o in_o express_a word_n it_o follow_v then_o necessary_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o hear_v than_o i_o pray_v what_o paul_n say_v rom._n 3._o vers_fw-la 28._o we_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n and_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n vers_fw-la 20._o therefore_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n there_o shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v and_o vers_fw-la 24._o be_v justify_v free_o by_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o chap._n 4._o ver_fw-la 5_o 6._o but_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n even_o as_o david_n also_o describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n unto_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n and_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o gala._n cap._n the_o 2.16_o know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n etc._n etc._n i_o beseech_v you_o mr._n montague_n tell_v i_o ingenuous_o what_o can_v be_v speak_v or_o cite_v more_o clear_o for_o the_o confirm_v of_o our_o opinion_n and_o doctrine_n for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o all_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v so_o often_o by_o the_o apostle_n exclude_v from_o justification_n and_o twice_o in_o express_a term_n remove_v from_o justification_n in_o this_o verse_n and_o that_o with_o a_o irrisistible_a reason_n add_v by_o the_o apostle_n show_v the_o impossibility_n of_o justification_n by_o work_n save_v that_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n be_v justify_v i_o say_v in_o all_o these_o regard_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o and_o we_o may_v add_v to_o all_o this_o what_o the_o apostle_n often_o speak_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o exclude_v all_o reason_n of_o merit_n ephes_n 2._o vers_fw-la 8_o 9_o for_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 it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v mr._n montague_n if_o all_o that_o i_o have_v speak_v can_v yet_o satisfy_v you_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v satisfy_v all_o rational_a man_n and_o it_o do_v abundant_o confirm_v i_o in_o this_o truth_n and_o also_o prove_v that_o that_o church_n which_o teach_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o believe_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o believe_v but_o before_o i_o draw_v to_o a_o end_n and_o couclude_v this_o point_n i_o shall_v at_o your_o best_a leisure_n desire_v you_o to_o answer_v this_o argument_n if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n if_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n if_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v if_o righteousness_n without_o work_n be_v impute_v if_o free_o if_o by_o grace_n if_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o to_o conclude_v if_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a therefore_o the_o consequent_a wherefore_o then_o shall_v any_o man_n cavil_v against_o our_o doctrine_n of_o free_a justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o because_o the_o particle_n alone_o be_v not_o in_o express_a term_n set_v down_o when_o there_o be_v divers_a expression_n of_o as_o full_a efficacy_n
