A56659	Falsehood unmaskt in answer to a book called Truth unveil'd, which vainly pretends to justify the charge of Mr. Standish against some persons in the Church of England / by a dutiful son of that church.	Patrick, Simon, 1626-1707.	1676 (1676)	Wing P796; ESTC R11930	17,061	28

christ_n have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o who_o righteousness_n in_o both_o regard_n be_v so_o pure_a and_o perfect_a that_o god_n in_o consideration_n of_o it_o or_o for_o its_o merit_n be_v please_v gracious_o to_o grant_v we_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o he_o a_o power_n to_o bestow_v it_o on_o all_o those_o that_o believe_v on_o his_o name_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n merit_n or_o for_o the_o merit_n if_o you_o will_v of_o christ_n righteousness_n the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o which_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o by_o faith_n so_o the_o church_n teach_v we_o to_o understand_v christ_n impute_a righteousness_n which_o all_o good_a christian_n rejoice_v in_o for_o righteousness_n impute_v be_v our_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n though_o we_o be_v not_o so_o in_o ourselves_o and_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n say_v the_o 11_o artic._n only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o for_o our_o own_o work_n and_o deserve_a if_o you_o will_v trouble_v yourself_o with_o notion_n beyond_o this_o you_o may_v but_o do_v not_o trouble_v other_o with_o they_o who_o profess_v they_o can_v understand_v how_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v so_o account_v we_o which_o be_v the_o modern_a notion_n of_o it_o as_o if_o in_o he_o we_o have_v perform_v perfect_a obedience_n to_o god_n he_o perform_v perfect_a obedience_n for_o we_o that_o we_o believe_v and_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o it_o but_o we_o do_v not_o perform_v perfect_a obedience_n in_o he_o that_o be_v contrary_a i_o have_v be_v teach_v to_o the_o very_a principle_n of_o christianity_n for_o if_o we_o do_v then_o by_o that_o perfect_a obedience_n perform_v in_o he_o we_o become_v perfect_o righteous_a free_a that_o be_v not_o only_o from_o all_o punishment_n but_o from_o fault_n and_o then_o we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o pardon_n nor_o of_o any_o inherent_a righteousness_n and_o we_o have_v merit_v a_o reward_n for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v the_o honest_a people_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o devout_o say_v the_o litanie_n never_o think_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o humble_o address_v themselves_o to_o god_n for_o mercy_n through_o the_o merit_n and_o mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v purchase_v pardon_n for_o penitent_a sinner_n by_o the_o entire_a righteousness_n of_o his_o life_n and_o death_n they_o mean_v no_o more_o when_o they_o pray_v to_o be_v deliver_v by_o his_o wonderful_a condescension_n in_o be_v incarnate_a for_o our_o sake_n which_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o his_o humiliation_n and_o by_o his_o bloody_a death_n and_o burial_n in_o which_o it_o be_v finish_v but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o they_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o these_o and_o all_o other_o part_n of_o his_o humiliation_n which_o they_o know_v by_o his_o exaltation_n into_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o come_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v high_o acceptable_a to_o god_n be_v the_o fulsilling_a of_o all_o his_o will_n in_o what_o he_o require_v for_o our_o redemption_n and_o have_v obtain_v for_o our_o saviour_n all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o dispense_v the_o blessing_n which_o he_o purchase_v and_o thus_o other_o church_n understand_v this_o business_n the_o french_a for_o instance_n who_o say_v we_o believe_v that_o our_o righteousness_n consist_v in_o remission_n of_o sin_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o cast_v away_o all_o opinion_n of_o our_o own_o virtue_n and_o merit_n we_o rest_v only_o in_o the_o

plain_o tell_v we_o that_o their_o righteousness_n which_o be_v procure_v by_o christ_n obedience_n consist_v in_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o that_o obedience_n of_o he_o be_v impute_v only_o in_o this_o sense_n that_o for_o its_o sake_n we_o may_v obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n i_o beseech_v you_o sir_n do_v not_o accuse_v i_o of_o heterodoxy_n if_o i_o do_v not_o jump_v with_o your_o thought_n in_o these_o matter_n for_o i_o protest_v i_o have_v no_o inclination_n to_o fasten_v a_o sense_n upon_o the_o church_n word_n out_o of_o my_o own_o

who_o make_v such_o a_o noise_n as_o if_o all_o our_o ancient_a most_o fundamental_a doctrine_n be_v subvert_v for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n sir_n let_v as_o hear_v no_o more_o of_o this_o from_o

i_o dare_v say_v for_o he_o he_o will_v give_v you_o no_o thanks_o for_o your_o kind_a intention_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o study_v how_o to_o oblige_v he_o any_o further_a in_o

leave_v he_o to_o justify_v himself_o his_o own_o way_n he_o may_v well_o forgive_v you_o all_o that_o be_v past_a for_o one_o considerable_a service_n you_o have_v do_v he_o and_o the_o only_a one_o

we_o be_v one_o body_n so_o be_v indeed_o all_o one_o the_o best_a christian_n be_v nor_o which_o principle_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v the_o best_a let_v we_o all_o sincere_o endeavour_v to_o excel_v

say_v or_o dare_v say_v nothing_o of_o that_o about_o which_o you_o make_v so_o many_o sad_a complaint_n if_o i_o shall_v whole_o pass_v by_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n with_o the_o same_o provision_n therefore_o that_o you_o will_v not_o accuse_v i_o for_o meddle_v with_o that_o which_o do_v not_o concern_v i_o i_o will_v add_v a_o few_o word_n about_o those_o matter_n and_o i_o assure_v you_o i_o abhor_v the_o man_n as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v do_v who_o shall_v teach_v i_o otherwise_o than_o our_o church_n do_v artic._n xi_o that_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o for_o our_o own_o work_n or_o deserve_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o most_o wholesome_a doctrine_n and_o full_a of_o comfort_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o but_o i_o very_o think_v there_o be_v none_o that_o teach_v otherwise_o but_o you_o have_v whole_o mistake_v those_o person_n who_o write_n have_v give_v you_o the_o trouble_n of_o make_v this_o book_n for_o though_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o yet_o you_o acknowledge_v p._n 37._o that_o all_o christian_a virtue_n be_v connate_a with_o that_o faith_n which_o grant_v all_o that_o mr._n bull_n contend_v for_o who_o position_n be_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o justify_v contain_v in_o it_o a_o sincere_a purpose_n of_o a_o new_a life_n o_o but_o none_o of_o those_o virtue_n you_o add_v pass_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o

antecedent_o to_o our_o entrance_n into_o the_o state_n or_o justification_n but_o only_o the_o purpose_n of_o they_o which_o you_o yourself_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v include_v together_o with_o all_o
