evil_a work_n pass_v uncontrolled_a unquestioned_a from_o hand_n to_o hand_n and_o no_o body_n but_o by_o faith_n dispute_v it_o if_o it_o come_v by_o tradition_n as_o you_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v but_o in_o fashion_n they_o run_v through_o not_o only_o those_o that_o make_v no_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o those_o that_o make_v a_o profession_n so_o tradition_n run_v through_o all._n now_o how_o shall_v we_o be_v redeem_a from_o this_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v redeem_a from_o the_o common_a evil_n that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n but_o by_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n as_o i_o begin_v to_o say_v christ_n be_v the_o great_a principle_n of_o they_o how_o can_v you_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n no_o way_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n be_v within_o we_o the_o principle_n of_o those_o holy_a action_n and_o therefore_o though_o i_o say_v it_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o we_o be_v condemn_v indeed_o most_o righteous_o in_o not_o answer_v our_o duty_n yet_o still_o we_o can_v do_v the_o holy_a action_n require_v of_o we_o but_o under_o a_o purchase_n under_o a_o price_n you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n therefore_o glorify_v god_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o so_o we_o must_v have_v that_o mighty_a principle_n i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n say_v the_o apostle_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v i_o and_o in_o john_n 15._o our_o lord_n show_v plain_o that_o he_o be_v the_o principle_n without_o i_o say_v he_o v._o 5._o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o he_o have_v compare_v himself_o to_o the_o vine_n and_o believer_n to_o the_o branch_n now_o as_o the_o branch_n can_v do_v nothing_o without_o the_o vine_n you_o know_v it_o can_v so_o our_o soul_n can_v do_v nothing_o without_o christ_n he_o be_v the_o great_a principle_n of_o it_o and_o then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n they_o be_v wash_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o be_v all_o make_v up_o in_o their_o imperfection_n by_o the_o great_a perfection_n of_o the_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n this_o must_v necessary_o be_v consider_v take_v that_o action_n of_o abraham_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v he_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o offer_n of_o isaac_n naw_o i_o say_v that_o very_o offer_v of_o isaac_n be_v as_o it_o be_v abraham_n act_n wash_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n or_o else_o it_o have_v never_o be_v accept_v there_o be_v though_o we_o can_v trace_v they_o yet_o god_n understand_v they_o such_o corruption_n adhere_v to_o this_o holy_a action_n of_o abraham_n that_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v wash_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n it_o can_v not_o have_v stand_v before_o he_o rahab_n send_v away_o the_o spy_n it_o be_v wash_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n moses_n keep_v the_o passover_n and_o refuse_v to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o pharaoh_n daughter_n all_o these_o they_o be_v wash_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n or_o they_o can_v not_o have_v stand_v before_o god_n all_o the_o repentance_n all_o the_o holy_a action_n of_o the_o best_a and_o most_o eminent_a of_o christian_n they_o be_v wash_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o may_v be_v accept_v and_o wherein_o they_o be_v find_v light_n they_o be_v make_v up_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v so_o i_o understand_v that_o in_o rom._n 8._o 4._o it_o be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v he_o condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n viz._n his_o flesh_n his_o sacrifice_n and_o so_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o by_o all_o those_o that_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n what_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o that_o perfect_a righteousness_n and_o that_o perfect_a obedience_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n even_o to_o the_o sacrifice_a himself_o the_o four_o and_o last_o thing_n in_o which_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v supreme_o to_o be_v consider_v by_o every_o believer_n as_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o his_o holiness_n and_o the_o acceptance_n of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v he_o through_o who_o alone_o and_o through_o who_o perfect_a holine_o god_n account_v we_o holy_a this_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o point_n that_o be_v not_o general_o speak_v of_o and_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v something_o singular_a but_o i_o be_o full_o persuade_v of_o it_o that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o stand_v before_o god_n by_o imputative_a righteousness_n but_o we_o stand_v before_o he_o by_o imputative_a holiness_n also_o that_o be_v not_o as_o i●_n there_o be_v no_o holiness_n inherent_a and_o real_a in_o the_o saint_n of_o christ_n but_o their_o holiness_n can_v not_o be_v count_v holiness_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o holiness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v much_o upon_o it_o because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o singular_a apprehension_n yet_o i_o will_v give_v you_o two_o scripture_n that_o do_v strong_o persuade_v i_o that_o this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n till_o we_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o perfection_n of_o holiness_n at_o the_o state_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a which_o as_o i_o have_v former_o tell_v you_o be_v either_o when_o spirit_n go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n or_o when_o all_o the_o saint_n shall_v appear_v in_o the_o resurrection_n then_o shall_v they_o be_v in_o a_o perfection_n of_o inherent_a holiness_n but_o while_o we_o be_v here_o in_o the_o world_n we_o be_v not_o in_o a_o state_n of_o perfect_a inherent_a inward_a holiness_n and_o therefore_o christ_n in_o that_o that_o be_v the_o first_o scripture_n that_o incline_v i_o to_o this_o apprehension_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 30._o he_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o sactification_n and_o redemption_n christ_n be_v as_o true_o make_v to_o we_o sactification_n as_o he_o be_v make_v redemption_n or_o as_o he_o be_v make_v righteousness_n or_o wisdom_n in_o our_o first_o be_v bring_v home_o to_o god_n therefore_o i_o say_v if_o he_o not_o our_o sanctification_n our_o sanctification_n can_v not_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o sanctification_n if_o it_o be_v not_o make_v acceptable_a by_o the_o holiness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n another_o scripture_n be_v that_o in_o the_o seven_o to_o the_o roman_n say_v the_o apostle_n we_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n in_o ourselves_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o sanctification_n in_o believer_n we_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n in_o ourselves_o but_o when_o we_o be_v marry_v unto_o another_o even_o to_o he_o who_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a we_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n we_o can_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n which_o be_v certain_o mean_v of_o sanctification_n any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o be_v marry_v to_o another_o even_o to_o he_o who_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a because_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a in_o all_o sense_n of_o scripture_n be_v the_o perfection_n of_o holiness_n till_o we_o therefore_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a be_v in_o spirit_n separate_v as_o i_o have_v speak_v or_o in_o body_n of_o glory_n we_o can_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o god_n but_o we_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n the_o great_a husband_n who_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a all_o our_o holiness_n be_v make_v perfect_a by_o his_o holiness_n but_o then_o he_o bring_v we_o into_o that_o perfection_n that_o every_o saint_n be_v indeed_o perfect_o holy_a in_o the_o state_n of_o spirit_n and_o state_n of_o a_o body_n of_o glory_n give_v to_o that_o spirit_n that_o go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n long_o it_o may_v be_v before_o accordlng_v to_o the_o several_a time_n in_o which_o the_o saint_n of_o christ_n have_v dye_v i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o thing_n which_o i_o propose_v in_o this_o discourse_n and_o that_o be_v to_o show_v you_o what_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n james_n be_v for_o it_o seem_v to_o run_v very_o counter_a to_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a justification_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n it_o seem_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n after_o it_o have_v say_v so_o much_o by_o paul_n of_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n that_o the_o spirit_n

therefore_o the_o four_o particular_a be_v this_o that_o indeed_o if_o any_o one_o can_v frame_v a_o notion_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v his_o righteousness_n or_o of_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v his_o for_o justification_n and_o pardon_v and_o clear_v from_o sin_n if_o that_o righteousness_n separate_v from_o christ_n it_o will_v be_v no_o other_o to_o we_o and_o in_o we_o but_o as_o a_o creature-righteousness_n and_o as_o a_o self-righteousness_n and_o for_o we_o to_o trust_v in_o it_o and_o to_o stay_v ourselves_o upon_o it_o will_v be_v a_o trust_n to_o our_o own_o righteousness_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v in_o he_o a_o spring_n and_o a_o fountain_n there_o be_v the_o life_n and_o there_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o it_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o one_o scripture_n rom._n 5._o 17._o mark_v here_o be_v a_o receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n nothing_o can_v be_v more_o express_a than_o this_o a_o man_n take_v in_o by_o faith_n abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n but_o now_o the_o question_n be_v do_v he_o live_v by_o this_o receive_a abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n no_o for_o the_o apostle_n go_v on_o he_o shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o one_o jesus_n christ_n he_o shall_v not_o reign_v by_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n which_o he_o receive_v simple_o and_o separately_z and_o distinct_a from_o jesus_n christ_n but_o he_o shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o one_o jesus_n christ_n sure_o this_o scripture_n do_v cut_v off_o all_o dispute_n and_o all_o controversy_n and_o show_v that_o justification_n be_v only_o by_o union_n to_o christ_n and_o by_o nothing_o else_o whatsoever_o be_v the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n and_o heal_v by_o the_o wing_n of_o christ_n and_o flow_v out_o and_o righteousness_n stream_v out_o continual_o from_o the_o sun_n of_o it_o that_o be_v christ_n oh_o than_o that_o we_o be_v but_o clear_a in_o this_o great_a truth_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n jehovah_n be_v our_o righteousness_n for_o if_o such_o a_o poor_a weak_a thing_n as_o faith_n because_o it_o be_v conformable_a as_o be_v suppose_v to_o the_o evangelical_n law_n be_v our_o righteousness_n we_o shall_v have_v reason_n to_o fear_v and_o much_o more_o because_o indeed_o no_o one_o come_v up_o so_o much_o as_o to_o the_o evangelical_n law_n as_o they_o will_v phrase_n it_o our_o faith_n be_v so_o weak_a and_o low_a that_o if_o we_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o we_o shall_v be_v utter_o undo_v even_o by_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o gospel-law_n but_o when_o it_o do_v but_o only_o attend_v the_o communication_n and_o give_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o eternal_a jehovab_n to_o we_o when_o it_o do_v only_o that_o o_o we_o that_o be_v in_o this_o righteousness_n and_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jehovah_n it_o be_v impossible_a we_o shall_v be_v condemn_v we_o must_v needs_o condemn_v every_o tongue_n that_o rise_v in_o judgement_n against_o we_o because_o we_o have_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jehovah_n i_o confess_v the_o thing_n be_v so_o great_a that_o many_o even_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o strange_a and_o next_o to_o blasphemy_n but_o it_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o scripture_n and_o even_o the_o thing_n itself_o it_o always_o press_v not_o that_o we_o be_v righteous_a as_o god_n be_v righteous_a as_o some_o will_v infer_v from_o such_o expression_n or_o righteous_a as_o christ_n be_v righteous_a that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o divine_a original_a righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n or_o according_a to_o any_o perfection_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o but_o that_o we_o be_v utter_o uncondemnable_a and_o set_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o condemnation_n hereby_o and_o array_v as_o in_o our_o degree_n with_o this_o rich_a robe_n because_o it_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n we_o be_v find_v in_o and_o that_o we_o be_v make_v by_o union_n to_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o all_o the_o distinction_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v preserve_v to_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v still_o preserve_v and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o which_o i_o will_v open_v this_o point_n the_o second_o thing_n be_v to_o show_v you_o that_o faith_n in_o itself_o it_o can_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o our_o righteousness_n because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n in_o all_o our_o reason_n and_o apprehension_n between_o the_o take_n of_o a_o gift_n and_o the_o gift_n because_o i_o take_v a_o great_a gift_n shall_v therefore_o my_o take_n be_v count_v of_o equal_a value_n with_o the_o gift_n you_o know_v this_o be_v contrary_n to_o all_o our_o reason_n to_o all_o our_o apprehension_n in_o the_o case_n a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o pearl_n of_o incomparable_a value_n give_v to_o he_o suppose_v in_o a_o state_n of_o necessity_n and_o want_n shall_v his_o take_n of_o the_o gift_n or_o of_o the_o pearl_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o of_o equal_a value_n with_o the_o pearl_n itself_o why_o now_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o work_n or_o a_o act_n of_o we_o or_o any_o thing_n let_v it_o be_v call_v by_o what_o name_n it_o will_v as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o will_v it_o therefore_o justify_v we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o because_o of_o its_o take_n of_o a_o incomparable_a invaluable_a gift_n must_v it_o be_v equal_a with_o the_o gift_n itself_o therefore_o though_o scripture_n speak_v so_o much_o of_o faith_n as_o it_o do_v and_o of_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n yet_o let_v faith_n lie_v low_a before_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o our_o take_n if_o it_o be_v the_o most_o perfect_a act_n it_o can_v be_v suppose_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o cry_v out_o lord_n i_o believe_v help_v thou_o my_o unbelief_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o the_o case_n as_o you_o know_v the_o most_o perfect_a and_o grateful_a and_o delightful_a receive_v of_o a_o gift_n can_v no_o way_n answer_v or_o stand_v in_o account_n with_o the_o gift_n itself_o now_o therefore_o this_o i_o desire_v shall_v be_v imprint_v upon_o our_o spirit_n both_o to_o take_v down_o all_o imagination_n of_o ourselves_o and_o also_o to_o give_v consolation_n in_o many_o of_o the_o anguish_v and_o agony_n of_o conscience_n that_o come_v upon_o believer_n through_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o faith_n rom._n 5._o 17._o they_o which_o receive_v say_v the_o apostle_n abundance_n of_o grace_n now_o can_v any_o of_o we_o suppose_v that_o the_o receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v any_o way_n equal_a to_o the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n itself_o and_o so_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o john_n say_v the_o evangelist_n there_o he_o come_v unto_o his_o own_o and_o his_o own_o receive_v he_o not_o but_o to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o ver_fw-la 12._o now_o i_o will_v desire_v to_o ask_v you_o whether_o you_o think_v that_o the_o receive_n of_o he_o that_o be_v of_o christ_n whether_o it_o be_v any_o way_n matchable_a or_o can_v countervail_v the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n himself_o or_o whether_o it_o can_v come_v near_o in_o any_o of_o the_o virtue_n or_o the_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o adoption_n or_o justification_n therefore_o it_o be_v most_o evident_o clear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o worth_n of_o faith_n or_o the_o excellency_n of_o faith_n or_o the_o activity_n or_o applicatoriness_n of_o faith_n but_o it_o be_v whole_o in_o that_o great_a and_o excellent_a and_o infinite_a person_n who_o we_o receive_v by_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o whole_a of_o the_o thing_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v where_o be_v our_o riches_n where_o be_v our_o righteteousness_n where_o be_v our_o strength_n it_o be_v evident_a it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o receive_n but_o in_o he_o who_o we_o receive_v it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o receive_n but_o in_o the_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n that_o we_o receive_v together_o with_o the_o receive_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o no_o otherwise_o not_o by_o receive_v of_o it_o and_o go_v away_o with_o it_o from_o christ_n and_o say_v we_o have_v it_o now_o but_o by_o keep_v close_o to_o he_o as_o our_o sun_n and_o as_o our_o fountain_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n and_o fountain_n of_o righteousness_n keep_v close_o to_o he_o and_o so_o that_o righteousness_n of_o he_o overflow_v and_o run_v out_o upon_o we_o and_o then_o as_o i_o say_v our_o consolation_n depend_v upon_o it_o for_o o_o how_o do_v

whether_o we_o have_v be_v right_a in_o the_o first_o act_n but_o there_o have_v be_v as_o they_o say_v a_o error_n in_o the_o foundation_n a_o error_n in_o the_o first_o concoction_n as_o physician_n

a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v take_v christ_n and_o life_n under_o the_o power_n of_o his_o lust_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n because_o he_o never_o look_v christ_n aright_o man_n will_v say_v here_o you_o be_v mistake_v in_o your_o profession_n that_o you_o can_v live_v holy_o which_o your_o profession_n bind_v you_o to_o but_o i_o say_v if_o the_o thing_n be_v but_o well_o trace_v and_o inquire_v into_o it_o will_v be_v find_v here_o be_v the_o great_a miss_n that_o your_o first_o action_n fly_v off_o and_o do_v not_o right_o take_v christ_n the_o second_o chapter_n of_o john_n be_v a_o scripture_n that_o will_v clear_v this_o that_o a_o man_n may_v take_v christ_n by_o a_o false_a action_n and_o lose_v he_o in_o the_o very_a first_o rudiment_n and_o the_o first_o beginning_n by_o a_o mistake_n as_o now_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o embryo_n in_o the_o womb_n if_o there_o be_v a_o false_a formation_n a_o monstrous_a formation_n in_o the_o

be_v mend_v the_o latter_a error_n may_v be_v more_o apparent_a than_o the_o first_o but_o the_o first_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o john_n 2._o 23_o 24_o 25._o now_o when_o he_o be_v in_o jernsalem_n at_o the_o passover_n in_o the_o feast-day_n many_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n when_o they_o see_v the_o miracle_n that_o he_o do_v one_o will_v have_v think_v this_o be_v true_a faith_n as_o the_o great_a man_n of_o reason_n say_v because_o they_o be_v bring_v over_o to_o believe_v by_o see_v the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n but_o jesus_n do_v not_o commit_v himself_o unto_o they_o because_o he_o know_v all_o man_n and_o need_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v testify_v of_o man_n for_o he_o know_v what_o be_v in_o man_n if_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v himself_o to_o they_o we_o may_v

like_o precious_a faith_n with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n i_o know_v we_o can_v look_v into_o this_o but_o by_o the_o divine_a

commit_v himself_o to_o they_o so_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v his_o righteousness_n his_o propitiation_n his_o redemption_n he_o do_v not_o commit_v it_o but_o where_o he_o see_v a_o faith_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v give_v that_o be_v indeed_o of_o the_o true_a and_o excellent_a alloy_n for_o he_o know_v at_o the_o very_a first_o he_o see_v many_o that_o pretend_v to_o believe_v and_o that_o

obtain_v he_o himself_o not_o commit_v or_o give_v himself_o know_v a_o true_a action_n of_o faith_n in_o receive_v he_o will_v not_o follow_v for_o that_o be_v the_o first_o action_n of_o faith_n to_o receive_v christ_n give_v himself_o the_o second_o kind_n of_o the_o action_n of_o faith_n they_o be_v those_o that_o though_o they_o be_v not_o immediate_o as_o the_o first_o act_n of_o take_v of_o christ_n by_o faith_n yet_o they_o immediate_o result_v and_o rise_v up_o when_o any_o man_n have_v take_v christ_n there_o be_v some_o action_n that_o do_v immediate_o result_v and_o arise_v they_o bear_v the_o hue_n they_o carry_v the_o complexion_n they_o have_v upon_o they_o the_o lineament_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o die_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n they_o have_v such_o peculiar_a respect_n to_o his_o blood_n to_o his_o death_n to_o his_o redemption_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o two_o of_o these_o we_o find_v in_o scripture-saint_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v draw_v out_o in_o brief_a expression_n the_o general_a action_n of_o christian_n according_a to_o their_o pattern_n the_o first_o be_v that_o in_o the_o 11_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v say_v of_o moses_n v._o 28._o through_o faith_n he_o keep_v the_o passover_n and_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o blood_n lest_o he_o that_o destroy_v the_o first_o bear_v shall_v touch_v they_o this_o he_o do_v by_o faith_n god_n command_v he_o indeed_o to_o keep_v the_o passover_n but_o moses_n have_v a_o eye_n upon_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n in_o it_o and_o by_o faith_n he_o keep_v the_o passover_n so_o every_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o it_o make_v recourse_n to_o christ_n upon_o all_o occasion_n after_o it_o have_v take_v he_o it_o be_v like_o keep_v the_o passover_n every_o act_n i_o say_v wherein_o we_o do_v especial_o depend_v upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v close_a recourse_n and_o application_n to_o it_o it_o be_v a_o action_n result_v from_o true_a save_v justify_v faith_n that_o true_a faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v save_v and_o justify_v for_o so_o indeed_o i_o observe_v though_o we_o call_v it_o justify_v faith_n the_o scripture_n never_o call_v it_o so_o but_o the_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v to_o make_v good_a that_o point_n that_o i_o have_v always_o press_v upon_o you_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o faith_n as_o a_o act_n but_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o as_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o it_o for_o that_o righteousness_n alone_o be_v our_o justification_n but_o this_o i_o say_v there_o be_v act_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o it_o do_v make_v recourse_n to_o christ_n and_o to_o his_o blood_n another_o example_n and_o i_o choose_v to_o give_v it_o you_o because_o it_o be_v seat_v in_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n james_n that_o be_v make_v the_o great_a objection_n against_o the_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v through_o the_o righteousness_n and_o propitiation_n of_o christ_n james_n 2._o 21._o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v not_o abraham_n our_o father_n justify_v by_o work_n when_o he_o have_v offer_v isaac_n his_o son_n upon_o the_o altar_n see_v thou_o how_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n and_o by_o work_n be_v faith_n make_v perfect_a now_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o observe_v to_o you_o the_o offer_v of_o isaac_n it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o conversant_a act_n about_o the_o death_n blood_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n as_o any_o can_v possible_o be_v represent_v in_o scripture_n to_o we_o for_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o great_a type_n and_o representation_n of_o the_o father_n give_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o to_o become_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o they_o than_o that_o of_o abraham_n the_o affectionate_a father_n of_o isaac_n offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n use_v this_o for_o a_o argument_n of_o a_o work_a faith_n this_o be_v a_o work_n of_o faith_n indeed_o it_o be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o faith_n take_v christ_n but_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o faith_n conversant_a about_o the_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n be_v express_v in_o it_o see_v thou_o how_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n this_o be_v a_o great_a act_n in_o which_o faith_n wrought_v mighty_o when_o abraham_n offer_v up_o isaac_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o a_o work_n of_o moral_a obedience_n as_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o greatness_n and_o excellency_n of_o it_o and_o the_o eye_n it_o have_v to_o christ_n though_o it_o be_v a_o high_a act_n of_o obedience_n of_o self_n resigning_n also_o so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v many_o act_n which_o be_v
