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

justification_n to_o be_v effect_v by_o it_o as_o a_o inherent_a grace_n only_o it_o put_v the_o subject_n into_o a_o capacity_n of_o be_v actual_o justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n

such_o a_o conditional_a decree_n as_o be_v so_o call_v subsequent_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n willing_a but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n will_v sive_fw-la objecti_fw-la voliti_fw-la be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o he_o especial_o in_o such_o contingent_a effect_n as_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o decree_n ordain_v they_o thus_o god_n will_v salvation_n to_o the_o elect_n which_o salvation_n they_o shall_v be_v bring_v unto_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n not_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o act_n of_o election_n or_o god_n will_v their_o salvation_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o thing_n will_v a_o subsequent_a condition_n wrought_v by_o god_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o decree_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o orthodox_n
