down_o which_o make_v i_o conjecture_v that_o he_o have_v take_v it_o from_o some_o other_o upon_o trust_n for_o if_o he_o do_v consult_v the_o author_n himself_o he_o betray_v a_o great_a want_n either_o of_o honesty_n or_o ingenuity_n or_o both_o for_o it_o be_v not_o honest_a in_o any_o man_n to_o curtail_v his_o author_n sense_n nor_o be_v it_o very_o ingenuous_a by_o that_o mean_n to_o endeavour_v to_o impose_v upon_o unwary_a reader_n all_o therefore_o that_o i_o have_v here_o to_o do_v be_v to_o bring_v st._n austin_n to_o speak_v for_o himself_o and_o so_o leave_v the_o unbiased_a reader_n to_o judge_v between_o we_o the_o design_n of_o st._n austin_n in_o this_o epistle_n be_v to_o instruct_v sixtus_n how_o to_o answer_v the_o argument_n of_o the_o pelagian_o who_o be_v then_o the_o great_a advocate_n for_o free_a will_n and_o merit_n by_o advance_v the_o free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n against_o they_o st._n austin_n in_o this_o epistle_n have_v these_o word_n which_o the_o vindicator_n set_v down_o viz._n as_o death_n be_v render_v to_o the_o merit_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o pay_n so_o everlasting_a life_n be_v render_v as_o the_o pay_n to_o the_o merit_n of_o justice_n but_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v you_o what_o go_v before_o nor_o what_o follow_v after_o those_o word_n in_o that_o place_n if_o he_o have_v you_o will_v more_o clear_o have_v understand_v st._n augustine_n meaning_n than_o perhaps_o he_o desire_v you_o shall_v to_o undeceive_v you_o therefore_o i_o stall_v give_v you_o the_o passage_n entire_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o author_n when_o st._n paul_n say_v he_o in_o rom._n vi_fw-la 23._o have_v say_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n who_o will_v not_o have_v expect_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v add_v and_o the_o

be_v render_v to_o the_o merit_n of_o righteousness_n but_o the_o bless_a apostle_n to_o repress_v the_o pride_n of_o man_n say_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n true_o wage_n because_o due_a because_o worthy_o deserve_v because_o render_v to_o merit_n but_o then_o to_o prevent_v the_o exalt_v of_o ourselves_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o our_o own_o merit_n or_o righteousness_n he_o do_v not_o say_v the_o wage_n of_o righteousness_n be_v eternal_a life_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o seek_v it_o in_o any_o other_o way_n he_o add_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v o_o humane_a not_o righteousness_n but_o pride_n in_o the_o name_n of_o righteousness_n why_o do_v thou_o begin_v to_o exalt_v thyself_o and_o to_o require_v eternal_a life_n as_o wage_n due_a to_o thou_o it_o be_v true_a righteousness_n to_o which_o eternal_a life_n be_v due_a but_o if_o it_o be_v true_a righteousness_n it_o

the_o article_n which_o he_o be_v here_o defend_v be_v found_v and_o consider_v one_o passage_n therein_o which_o perhaps_o he_o may_v before_o overlook_v and_o then_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o

baptize_v and_o do_v further_a declare_v that_o st._n paul_n do_v sometime_o call_v this_o concupiscence_n sin._n but_o though_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o yet_o the_o council_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o catholic_n church_n no_o doubt_n the_o roman_n catholic_n do_v never_o think_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o if_o any_o one_o think_v otherwise_o let_v he_o be_v anathema_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o decree_n the_o council_n pretend_v to_o have_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n whether_o they_o have_v or_o no_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o be_v grant_v but_o it_o be_v confess_v on_o

the_o council_n be_v in_o the_o wrong_n for_o both_o part_n of_o a_o contradiction_n can_v be_v true_a now_o whether_o the_o authority_n of_o st._n paul_n or_o that_o of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v the_o better_a one_o will_v think_v be_v no_o very_a hard_a question_n st._n austin_n i_o be_o sure_a do_v not_o think_v it_o be_v for_o if_o he_o have_v he_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o positive_a as_o he_o be_v 19_o aug_n ad_fw-la hieron_n epist_n 19_o when_o he_o say_v the_o authority_n of_o st._n paul_n be_v to_o i_o instead_o of_o all_o the_o father_n and_o above_o all_o the_o father_n to_o he_o i_o flee_v and_o to_o he_o i_o appeal_v from_o all_o other_o doctor_n whatsoever_o ii_o concern_v justification_n he_o give_v we_o a_o account_n of_o what_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v define_v in_o four_o particular_n 1._o that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o a_o intrinsical_a justice_n and_o this_o he_o find_v upon_o two_o place_n of_o scripture_n viz._n tit._n iij._n 7._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o grace_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v heir_n according_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o grace_n say_v he_o be_v in_o men._n and_o for_o this_o he_o quote_v 2_o tim._n i_o 6._o where_o it_o be_v say_v i_o put_v thou_o in_o mind_n to_o stir_v up_o that_o grace_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o so_o he_o render_v it_o but_o it_o be_v more_o proper_o translate_v i_o put_v thou_o in_o remembrance_n that_o thou_o stir_v up_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o thou_o by_o the_o put_n on_o my_o hand_n which_o last_o word_n he_o leave_v out_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v what_o st._n paul_n here_o mean_v by_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o grace_n he_o himself_o very_o well_o explain_v in_o another_o place_n where_o he_o say_v 24._o rom._n iij._n 24._o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n where_o to_o be_v justify_v free_o and_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o grace_n be_v synonymous_n expression_n and_o imply_v no_o more_o but_o that_o god_n do_v free_o and_o without_o any_o merit_n of_o we_o send_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o by_o his_o death_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o obtain_v such_o grace_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n that_o our_o sin_n may_v be_v pardon_v and_o we_o justify_v before_o he_o whence_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v any_o intrinsical_v righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o but_o the_o free_a grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o accept_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n instead_o of_o we_o and_o impute_v the_o same_o to_o we_o through_o faith_n for_o our_o justification_n and_o therefore_o st._n paul_n after_o he_o have_v a_o little_a more_o explain_v himself_o 28._o verse_n 28._o conclude_v say_v therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law._n as_o for_o his_o other_o scripture_n which_o he_o bring_v in_o as_o a_o auxiliary_a proof_n it_o be_v quite_o foreign_a to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n for_o the_o apostle_n there_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o justify_v grace_n nor_o indeed_o of_o any_o grace_n if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n strict_o for_o the_o word_n there_o be_v not_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

also_o and_o the_o renew_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n by_o a_o voluntary_a susception_n of_o grace_n and_o gift_n by_o which_o of_o unrighteous_a a_o man_n be_v make_v righteous_a and_o of_o a_o enemy_n a_o friend_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o heir_n according_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n this_o be_v a_o far_o different_a notion_n from_o that_o which_o the_o church_n of_o

but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n confound_v justification_n with_o sanctification_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n with_o the_o renovation_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o indeed_o in_o this_o channel_n
