prove_v against_o the_o first_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o knowledge_n or_o assurance_n against_o the_o thirteen_o that_o the_o only_a proper_a object_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o person_n of_o the_o mediator_n and_o against_o the_o fourteen_o that_o the_o form_n thereof_o be_v affiance_n and_o not_o any_o such_o relation_n or_o certainty_n the_o nine_o sixteenth_o and_o seventeenth_o in_o part_n i_o deny_v the_o nine_o where_o you_o make_v faith_n and_o knowledge_n to_o be_v convertible_a which_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o have_v different_a nature_n and_o definition_n the_o sixteenth_o where_o you_o affirm_v rest_a upon_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o faith_n which_o i_o have_v demonstrate_v to_o be_v the_o form_n and_o proper_a act_n of_o faith_n the_o seventeenth_o where_o you_o say_v that_o the_o subject_n of_o faith_n be_v both_o the_o understanding_n and_o the_o will_n against_o which_o i_o have_v show_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o habit_n to_o be_v subiective_o in_o two_o several_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o rest_n of_o your_o position_n save_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o some_o term_n and_o set_v a_o favourable_a construction_n upon_o they_o i_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v true_a and_o because_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v i_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n therefore_o i_o oppose_v they_o not_o but_o ready_o and_o willing_o yield_v and_o subscribe_v unto_o they_o but_o master_n baxter_n in_o all_o this_o long_a discourse_n of_o faith_n have_v speak_v so_o careful_o of_o the_o definition_n of_o faith_n of_o the_o unity_n of_o it_o in_o kind_n and_o difference_n of_o it_o in_o number_n and_o degree_n of_o the_o imperfection_n sufficiency_n efficient_a principal_a and_o instrumental_a of_o the_o object_n both_o in_o general_a and_o special_a of_o the_o form_n and_o end_n both_o subordinate_a and_o high_a final_o of_o the_o effect_n subject_n and_o adjunct_n thereof_o in_o all_o this_o long_a discourse_n i_o say_v how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o hear_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o word_n of_o justification_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v the_o immediate_a and_o proper_a effect_n of_o faith_n immediate_a because_o it_o be_v the_o first_o fruit_n and_o benefit_n that_o spring_v of_o it_o and_o come_v before_o adoption_n and_o sanctification_n proper_a because_o it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o faith_n only_o and_o not_o of_o any_o other_o grace_n which_o justify_v a_o man_n before_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o negligence_n or_o of_o policy_n that_o you_o have_v omit_v so_o material_a and_o necessary_a a_o point_n i_o can_v say_v if_o of_o negligence_n it_o deserve_v a_o severe_a chastisement_n if_o of_o policy_n it_o be_v i_o think_v you_o foresee_v what_o a_o dangerous_a consequence_n will_v follow_v thereupon_o for_o if_o you_o have_v place_v justification_n as_o needs_o you_o must_v have_v do_v if_o you_o have_v mention_v it_o among_o the_o effect_n of_o faith_n the_o reader_n possible_o may_v have_v reason_v thus_o if_o justification_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o follow_v after_o faith_n then_o can_v assurance_n of_o justification_n be_v faith_n because_o it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o justification_n and_o follow_v after_o for_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v before_o he_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o thus_o you_o have_v cast_v away_o your_o whole_a pot_n of_o broth_n 4.39_o 2_o king_n 4.39_o if_o you_o have_v not_o wary_o keep_v this_o coloquintida_n out_o of_o
