that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o by_o these_o question_a act_n in_o particular_a and_o therefore_o those_o protestant_n that_o dispute_v against_o we_o who_o be_v for_o the_o

though_o when_o we_o come_v to_o determine_v what_o be_v the_o special_a interest_n of_o faith_n in_o justification_n i_o take_v it_o in_o the_o second_o sense_n take_v notice_n also_o that_o i_o

you_o that_o if_o i_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n use_v these_o last_o expression_n as_o lead_v to_o it_o by_o those_o with_o who_o i_o deal_v it_o be_v but_o in_o the_o sense_n as_o be_v hereafter_o explain_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o choose_v to_o stick_v to_o this_o phrase_n rather_o than_o other_o be_v first_o because_o this_o only_a be_v the_o scripture_n phrase_n and_o the_o other_o be_v

affirm_v that_o i_o may_v use_v that_o phrase_n which_o be_v not_o find_v in_o scripture_n he_o can_v say_v i_o must_v use_v it_o and_o in_o a_o controvert_v case_n especial_o about_o such_o evangelical_n truth_n the_o safety_n of_o adhere_v to_o scripture_n phrase_n and_o the_o danger_n of_o depart_v from_o it_o be_v so_o discernible_a and_o special_o when_o man_n make_v great_a use_n of_o their_o unscriptural_a phrase_n for_o the_o countenance_v of_o their_o opinion_n i_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v cautelous_a second_o because_o the_o phrase_n be_v not_o always_o of_o

argument_n 1._o my_o first_o argument_n shall_v be_v from_o the_o concession_n of_o those_o that_o we_o dispute_v with_o they_o common_o grant_v we_o the_o point_n contend_v for_o therefore_o we_o

they_o grant_v it_o and_o understand_v not_o that_o they_o grant_v it_o we_o because_o they_o understand_v not_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o assertion_n and_o some_o of_o they_o understand_v that_o they_o grant_v it_o in_o our_o sense_n but_o yet_o deny_v it_o in_o another_o sense_n of_o their_o own_o and_o so_o make_v it_o a_o strife_n about_o a_o syllable_n but_o i_o shall_v prove_v the_o concession_n leave_v some_o yet_o discern_v it_o not_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v we_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o lord_n and_o teacher_n be_v a_o real_a part_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n then_o be_v it_o grant_v we_o that_o by_o this_o believe_v in_o he_o we_o be_v justify_v as_o by_o a_o condition_n which_o be_v our_o sense_n and_o all_o that_o we_o assert_v but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a therefore_o so_o be_v the_o late_a for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o antecedent_n which_o be_v all_o first_o try_v whether_o you_o can_v meet_v with_o any_o divine_a that_o dare_v deny_v it_o who_o believe_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n second_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a their_o write_n do_v ordinary_o confess_v it_o their_o doctrine_n that_o oppose_v we_o be_v that_o faith_n be_v both_o a_o condition_n and_o a_o instrument_n but_o other_o act_n as_o repentance_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v condition_n but_o not_o instrument_n and_o those_o that_o have_v wade_v so_o far_o into_o this_o controversy_n seem_v to_o join_v these_o other_o act_n of_o faith_n with_o the_o condition_n but_o not_o with_o the_o instrument_n three_o they_o

which_o be_v the_o thing_n desire_v if_o there_o be_v any_o sense_n in_o the_o word_n four_o they_o can_v deny_v to_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o lord_n and_o teacher_n that_o which_o they_o common_o give_v to_o repentance_n and_o most_o of_o they_o to_o many_o other_o acts._n but_o to_o be_v a_o condition_n or_o part_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o justification_n be_v common_o by_o they_o ascribe_v to_o repentance_n therefore_o they_o can_v deny_v it_o to_o these_o act_n of_o faith_n so_o that_o you_o see_v i_o may_v fair_o here_o break_v off_o and_o take_v the_o thesis_n pro_fw-la concessa_fw-la as_o to_o the_o sense_n nothing_o more_o can_v be_v say_v by_o they_o but_o against_o our_o phrase_n whether_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o that_o which_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a condition_n of_o our_o justification_n which_o if_o any_o will_v deny_v first_o we_o shall_v prove_v it_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o world_n that_o apply_v the_o
