A97232	Chonoyterion he Sion. The refinement of Zion: or, The old orthodox Protestant doctrine justified, and defended against several exceptions of the Antinomians, methodically digested into questions, wherein many weighty and important cases of conscience are handled, concerning the nature of faith and repentance, or conversion to God: of his eternal love, and beholding of sin in his dearest children: of justification from eternity, of of [sic] preparations to the acceptance of Christ, of prayer for pardon of sin, and turning to God: of the gospel covenant, aud [sic] tenders of salvation, on the termes of faith and repentance. For the establishment of the scrupulous, conviction of the erroneous, and consolation of distressed consciences. By Anthony Warton, minister of the word at Breamore in Hampshire.

evident_a unto_o we_o as_o our_o several_a sin_n do_v require_v for_o so_o it_o be_v there_o be_v hardly_o any_o of_o god_n child_n who_o conscience_n be_v not_o more_o trouble_v with_o the_o

3.25_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o our_o father_n say_v unto_o abraham_n and_o in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v all_o the_o kindred_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v

the_o covenant_n of_o salvation_n be_v not_o make_v only_o with_o christ_n for_o wherefore_o do_v he_o say_v unto_o the_o israelite_n you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n

whether_o he_o have_v believe_v repent_v and_o be_v mortify_v and_o obey_v the_o gospel_n for_o we_o we_o acknowledge_v with_o st._n paul_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n 10.4_o

very_a duty_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o mortification_n which_o be_v require_v of_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n seem_v to_o i_o very_o strange_a for_o as_o we_o be_v discharge_v from_o fulfil_v the_o law_n to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o because_o christ_n have_v thus_o fulfil_v it_o for_o we_o so_o if_o christ_n have_v believe_v and_o repent_v for_o we_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v hereupon_o that_o god_n will_v not_o require_v these_o duty_n of_o we_o or_o that_o he_o will_v not_o condemn_v we_o though_o we_o neglect_v and_o omit_v they_o no_o more_o than_o he_o will_v because_o we_o transgress_v his_o law_n and_o do_v not_o perfect_o fulfil_v it_o to_o be_v thereby_o justify_v when_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o be_v not_o the_o

will_v god_n i_o have_v die_v for_o thou_o my_o son_n absalon_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o desire_v to_o have_v die_v in_o absalon_n stead_n that_o he_o may_v by_o his_o own_o death_n have_v free_v absalon_n from_o death_n in_o like_a manner_n therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o christ_n believe_v repent_v and_o be_v mortify_v for_o we_o the_o meaning_n hereof_o will_v be_v that_o he_o perform_v all_o these_o duty_n in_o our_o stead_n and_o so_o have_v free_v and_o discharge_v we_o from_o they_o what_o other_o construction_n these_o word_n will_v bear_v i_o know_v not_o but_o

13.12_o heb._n 10.29_o &_o 13.12_o what_o real_a difference_n will_v there_o be_v between_o they_o i_o do_v indeed_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v now_o and_o then_o make_v no_o

therefore_o i_o do_v reason_n thus_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o those_o to_o who_o they_o be_v make_v and_o not_o to_o any_o other_o but_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v remission_n
