A45147	Pacification touching the doctrinal dissent among our united brethren in London being an answer to Mr. Williams and Mr. Lobb both, who have appealed in one point (collected for an error) to this author, for his determination about it : together with some other more necessary points falling in, as also that case of non-resistance, which hath always been a case of that grand concern to the state, and now more especially, in regard to our loyalty to King William, and association to him, resolved, on that occasion / by Mr. John Humfrey.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1696 (1696)	Wing H3697; ESTC R16468	49,303	49

as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v to_o the_o arminian_n but_o either_o of_o they_o careful_o avoid_v the_o danger_n of_o both_o error_n under_o the_o first_o sort_n i_o must_v rank_v mr._n cole_n and_o

therefore_o do_v say_v that_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v the_o condition_n and_o not_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel-covenant_n for_o if_o they_o be_v grant_v blessing_n thereof_o then_o be_v there_o no_o condition_n to_o its_o benefit_n and_o so_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o conditional_a according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o that_o oppose_v we_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v god_n part_n to_o perform_v and_o if_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v part_n of_o those_o benefit_n it_o be_v well_o indeed_o for_o we_o for_o then_o must_v all_o within_o the_o

every_o one_o if_o every_o one_o therefore_o have_v not_o this_o faith_n and_o repentance_n give_v he_o either_o this_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v not_o indeed_o one_o of_o the_o benefit_n or_o
