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. By T. Warren minister of the Gospel at Houghton in Hampshire.	Warren, Thomas, 1616 or 17-1694.	1654 (1654)	Wing W980; Thomason E733_10; ESTC R206901	226,180	282

imputation_n or_o a_o act_n of_o pure_a and_o absolute_a sovereignty_n and_o prerogative_n and_o no_o way_n a_o act_n of_o justice_n when_o as_o it_o be_v a_o mix_a act_n not_o only_o a_o act_n of_o

for_o death_n be_v inflict_v as_o a_o punishment_n upon_o all_o which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n the_o reason_n follow_v in_o the_o five_o of_o the_o roman_n because_o in_o he_o all_o have_v sin_v so_o that_o death_n be_v the_o wage_n of_o that_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v our_o sin_n all_o sin_v in_o he_o and_o it_o be_v not_o only_a adam_n sin_n but_o their_o own_o sin_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o relation_n to_o he_o be_v in_o his_o loin_n and_o to_o make_v the_o bare_a and_o strict_a imputation_n of_o another_o man_n sin_n which_o be_v no_o way_n we_o but_o by_o imputation_n the_o sole_a ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o that_o heavy_a judgement_n and_o punishment_n of_o condemn_v all_o mankind_n to_o eternal_a death_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o weighty_a act_n of_o god_n judgement_n that_o be_v ever_o execute_v in_o the_o world_n be_v to_o represent_v god_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o just_a judge_n as_o one_o that_o delight_v in_o the_o death_n of_o his_o creature_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o ruin_n of_o his_o creature_n when_o as_o he_o profess_v that_o as_o he_o do_v live_v he_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n much_o less_o of_o a_o creature_n that_o be_v not_o a_o sinner_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o his_o imputation_n and_o although_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o god_n may_v as_o a_o act_n of_o sovereignty_n adjudge_v a_o innocent_a creature_n unto_o pain_n and_o misery_n if_o it_o be_v his_o will_n and_o that_o it_o will_v less_o reflect_v upon_o god_n to_o say_v he_o dit_fw-mi it_o because_o it_o be_v his_o absolute_a pleasure_n then_o to_o pretend_v or_o conceive_v that_o the_o bare_a imputation_n of_o the_o act_n of_o adam_n sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o yet_o i_o have_v no_o warrant_n to_o say_v that_o ever_o god_n do_v or_o will_v do_v such_o a_o act_n to_o make_v the_o creature_n miserable_a mere_o to_o show_v his_o sovereignty_n and_o what_o be_v there_o in_o the_o imputation_n of_o adam_n sin_n if_o this_o imputation_n be_v ground_v upon_o his_o will_n and_o not_o that_o natural_a union_n and_o relation_n between_o adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n to_o free_v it_o from_o such_o a_o act_n of_o pure_a sovereignty_n therefore_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o prerogative_n the_o equity_n of_o which_o act_n lie_v much_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o adam_n and_o his_o posterity_n to_o one_o another_o 2._o i_o urge_v as_o before_o i_o hint_v if_o death_n enter_v by_o sin_n than_o god_n imputation_n be_v not_o the_o only_a cause_n of_o it_o but_o it_o enter_v by_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v death_n pass_v upon_o all_o inasmuch_o as_o all_o have_v sin_v 3._o then_o adam_n be_v only_o the_o occasion_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o god_n the_o

sin_n therefore_o god_n impute_v it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o not_o of_o sovereignty_n only_o 4._o this_o overthrow_v the_o community_n of_o his_o person_n for_o if_o it_o be_v mere_o a_o act_n of_o his_o will_n he_o may_v have_v do_v this_o though_o adam_n have_v not_o be_v a_o public_a person_n 5._o this_o ascribe_v to_o god_n a_o fallible_a judgement_n in_o esteem_v he_o a_o sinner_n that_o be_v innocent_a and_o be_v not_o a_o sinner_n but_o by_o his_o imputation_n 6._o this_o ascribe_v injustice_n to_o god_n to_o impute_v sin_n to_o he_o that_o be_v no_o sinner_n but_o by_o his_o imputation_n which_o the_o sinner_n will_v be_v deliver_v from_o and_o consent_v not_o to_o it_o as_o the_o regenerate_a that_o bewail_v it_o and_o earnest_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o 7._o the_o very_a necessity_n that_o there_o be_v for_o christ_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n conceive_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o prevent_v his_o be_v a_o sinner_n confute_v this_o conceit_n for_o if_o adam_n sin_n be_v we_o only_o by_o imputation_n let_v but_o god_n not_o impute_v adam_n sin_n to_o christ_n and_o he_o intend_v not_o so_o miraculous_o to_o be_v bear_v for_o it_o behove_v he_o to_o be_v like_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o why_o not_o by_o the_o help_n of_o man_n to_o be_v bear_v if_o adam_n sin_n be_v we_o by_o imputation_n only_o and_o not_o by_o

but_o to_o take_v it_o for_o the_o elect_a antecedent_o to_o faith_n the_o proposition_n be_v not_o true_a for_o the_o word_n may_v and_o do_v charge_v he_o with_o sin_n for_o it_o threaten_v damnation_n to_o he_o but_o it_o threaten_v damnation_n for_o nothing_o but_o sin_n and_o god_n do_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o sinner_n and_o he_o ought_v to_o charge_v himself_o with_o sin_n therefore_o though_o all_o elect_a believer_n shall_v be_v free_v from_o sin_n yet_o all_o the_o elect_n be_v not_o formal_o discharge_v from_o sin_n as_o for_o your_o weak_a and_o feeble_a

the_o most_o just_a and_o immutable_a will_n of_o god_n to_o deal_v with_o person_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o inflict_v upon_o they_o the_o punishment_n which_o their_o sin_n deserve_v second_o it_o note_v the_o threatening_n and_o commination_n of_o the_o law_n three_o it_o note_v the_o execution_n of_o those_o threaten_n in_o the_o first_o and_o three_o

till_o they_o be_v able_a to_o plead_v their_o discharge_n let_v we_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o redemption_n wrought_v by_o christ_n and_o let_v we_o see_v how_o great_a a_o friend_n he_o be_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o redemption_n if_o you_o take_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n for_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o punish_v according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o law_n so_o they_o be_v not_o under_o wrath_n if_o you_o take_v it_o in_o the_o three_o sense_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o wrath_n they_o be_v never_o under_o it_o for_o how_o can_v they_o be_v under_o it_o when_o god_n never_o intend_v it_o what_o then_o do_v christ_n redeem_v they_o from_o only_o the_o bare_a threaten_n of_o the_o law_n why_o so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v only_o a_o threaten_a and_o god_n intend_v not_o to_o execute_v it_o what_o need_n christ_n have_v die_v according_a to_o he_o sure_o christ_n have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o wrath_n and_o there_o be_v a_o will_n in_o god_n to_o punish_v thei●_n sin_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o reprobate_n though_o he_o will_v punish_v their_o sin_n in_o christ_n the_o sin_n of_o the_o reprobate_n in_o
