A30137 A defence of the doctrine of justification, by faith in Jesus Christ: shewing, true Gospel-holiness flows from thence. Or, Mr. Fowler's pretended design of Christianity, proved to be nothing more then to trample under foot the blood of the Son of God and the idolizing of man's own righteousness. As also, how while he pretends to be a minister of the Church of England, he overthroweth the wholesom doctrine contained in the 10th. 11th. and 13th. of the Thirty Nine Articles of the same, and that he falleth in with the Quaker, and Romanist, against them. By John Bunyan. Bunyan, John, 1628-1688. 1673 (1673) Wing B5508; ESTC R215886 107,458 132

that_o be_v find_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o you_o add_v far_o what_o good_a ground_n can_v man_n have_v for_o this_o fancy_n when_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v merit_v the_o pardon_n of_o

yet_o know_v that_o therefore_o see_v you_o will_v hear_v it_o i_o say_v therefore_o have_v our_o saviour_n merit_v pardon_v and_o bestow_v it_o on_o man_n free_o and_o bid_v they_o believe_v or_o

of_o that_o but_o observe_v a_o few_o thing_n from_o this_o explication_n 1._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a in_o god_n account_n without_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o be_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o such_o and_o none_o but_o such_o 2._o th●_n conclude_v that_o man_n may_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a before_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v impute_v for_o this_o sincere_a righteousness_n be_v precedent_n to_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n 3._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v true_a yea_o save_v grace_n in_o great_a and_o mighty_a action_n in_o he_o before_o he_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ._n for_o if_o a_o man_n must_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a first_o then_o he_o must_v not_o only_o have_v that_o we_o call_v the_o habit_n but_o the_o powerful_a act_n of_o grace_n beside_o if_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v to_o first_o but_o secondary_o not_o before_o but_o after_o we_o be_v make_v sincere_o righteous_a then_o may_v not_o faith_n be_v thus_o act_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v it_o until_o he_o be_v first_o a_o sincere_o righteous_a person_n 4._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bring_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n in_o god_n sight_n before_o he_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o

may_v be_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n without_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o a_o man_n must_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a in_o god_n account_n without_o it_o than_o he_o be_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n without_o it_o 6._o this_o doctrine_n teach_v far_a that_o christ_n come_v to_o call_v and_o justify_v the_o righteous_a contrary_a to_o his_o express_a word_n in_o short_a by_o this_o account_n of_o thing_n first_o we_o must_v be_v heal_v and_o then_o the_o plaster_n come_v yea_o so_o confident_a be_v this_o man_n in_o this_o his_o assertion_n that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a any_o other_o notion_n of_o this_o doctrine_n shall_v have_v truth_n in_o it_o pag._n 226._o o_o this_o jesus_n this_o rock_n of_o offence_n but_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v confound_v but_o bless_v be_v god_n for_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o that_o he_o take_v our_o nature_n and_o sin_n and_o curse_v and_o death_n upon_o he_o and_o for_o that_o he_o do_v also_o by_o himself_o by_o one_o offer_v purge_v our_o sin_n we_o that_o have_v believe_v have_v find_v rest_n even_o there_o where_o god_n and_o his_o father_n have_v smell_v a_o sweet_a savour_n of_o rest_n because_o we_o be_v present_v to_o god_n even_o now_o complete_a in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o he_o and_o stand_v discharge_v of_o

14._o for_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o grace_n and_o without_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o sin_n we_o know_v also_o that_o faith_n as_o a_o grace_n in_o we_o sever_v from_o the_o
