A97227	Vnbeleevers no subjects of iustification, nor of mystical vnion to Christ, being the sum of a sermon preached at New Sarum, with a vindication of it from the objections, and calumniations cast upon it by Mr. William Eyre, in his Vindiciæ justificationis. Together with animadversions upon the said book, and a refutation of that anti-sidian, and anti-evangelical errour asserted therein: viz. the justification of infidels, or the justification of a sinner before, and without faith. Wherein also the conditional necessity, and instrumentality of faith unto justification, together with the consistency of it, with the freness of Gods grace, is explained, confirmed, and vindicated from the exceptions of the said Mr. Eyre, his arguments answertd [sic], his authorities examined, and brought in against himself.

to_o glory_n in_o himself_o therefore_o god_n will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v by_o grace_n receive_v by_o faith_n that_o no_o man_n may_v boast_v in_o the_o ten_o verse_n the_o apostle_n have_v show_v that_o our_o salvation_n be_v only_o of_o grace_n and_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o we_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o all_o save_a good_a in_o christ_n by_o faith_n exclude_v all_o cause_n in_o man_n lest_o he_o shall_v boast_v he_o lay_v down_o a_o new_a reason_n why_o we_o can_v be_v save_v by_o work_n because_o in_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n we_o be_v whole_o god_n workmanship_n in_o

the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o be_v call_v child_n of_o wrath_n it_o be_v a_o hebraisme_n signify_v that_o they_o be_v bear_v such_o and_o sure_o subject_a to_o it_o and_o obnoxious_a to_o divine_a wrath_n and_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n and_o to_o call_v a_o man_n a_o child_n of_o wrath_n be_v to_o aggravate_v the_o misery_n as_o a_o son_n of_o perdition_n be_v a_o
