A85329	Londons gate to the Lords Table. Where the eldership doth sit doing their office aright, in discovering and shutting out the ignorant, prophane, and meere civill honest man : in suspending the suspected formall, legall, and antinomisticall professor, and in drawing in the weakest humble beleeving soule. In a dialogue betweene a minister of the Gospell. Alexander an ignorant prophane man. Simon a proud professor. And Matthias an humble penitent. Imprimatur Edmund Calamy.	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.	1646 (1646)	Wing F995; Thomason E1213_1; ESTC R210120	58,722	302

pray_v you_o sir_n let_v i_o know_v who_o these_o professor_n be_v and_o what_o they_o do_v that_o so_o i_o may_v know_v whether_o i_o be_v one_o of_o they_o or_o no._n min._n why_o one_o sort_n of_o they_o of_o who_o i_o think_v meet_v to_o speak_v first_o be_v such_o as_o may_v be_v true_o call_v antinomisticall_a professor_n who_o confound_v the_o righteousness_n of_o sanctification_n with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o justification_n in_o make_v they_o to_o be_v both_o one_o for_o they_o will_v have_v that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o righteousness_n both_o of_o their_o justification_n and_o of_o their_o sanctification_n they_o will_v have_v all_o righteousness_n to_o be_v inherent_a in_o christ_n and_o no_o righteousness_n to_o be_v inherent_a in_o themselves_o they_o will_v have_v god_n to_o impute_v all_o righteousness_n unto_o they_o but_o not_o infuse_v any_o righteousness_n into_o they_o they_o will_v apply_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n unto_o themselves_o by_o faith_n when_o as_o they_o have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o righteousness_n they_o will_v have_v christ_n without_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o indeed_o have_v neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o spirit_n you_o shall_v hear_v these_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o their_o conference_n with_o other_o about_o these_o point_n will_v be_v ever_o utter_v these_o or_o the_o like_a speech_n as_o for_o i_o true_o i_o have_v nothing_o in_o i_o that_o be_v good_a but_o be_o whole_o sinful_a neither_o do_v i_o look_v for_o any_o thing_n else_o to_o be_v in_o i_o but_o sin_n and_o yet_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o i_o be_o perfect_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n through_o christ_n or_o in_o christ_n be_v clothe_v with_o a_o garment_n of_o salvation_n and_o cover_v with_o a_o robe_n of_o righteousness_n so_o that_o i_o be_o all_o fair_a and_o clean_o and_o there_o be_v no_o spot_n in_o i_o these_o man_n and_o woman_n because_o they_o be_v not_o to_o look_v for_o any_o good_a in_o themselves_o as_o a_o ground_n or_o cause_n of_o their_o faith_n they_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o good_a in_o themselves_o as_o a_o evidence_n of_o faith_n because_o they_o be_v not_o to_o look_v for_o inherent_a righteousness_n before_o they_o have_v by_o faith_n apprehend_v the_o impute_a righteousness_n therefore_o they_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o inherent_a righteousness_n at_o all_o because_o they_o must_v not_o look_v for_o inherent_a righteousness_n to_o move_v they_o to_o believe_v therefore_o they_o will_v not_o look_v for_o it_o to_o assure_v they_o that_o they_o have_v believe_v sim._n sure_o sir_n these_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v much_o mistake_v but_o what_o do_v you_o think_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o min._n why_o true_o i_o have_v think_v upon_o three_o reason_n of_o it_o as_o first_o because_o that_o they_o have_v either_o by_o mean_n of_o hear_v read_v or_o conference_n be_v instruct_v in_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n only_o without_o instruction_n in_o the_o law_n of_o work_n go_v before_o or_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n follow_v after_o or_o else_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n without_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n my_o meaning_n be_v they_o have_v be_v instruct_v that_o they_o of_o themselves_o be_v altogether_o unable_a either_o to_o do_v or_o suffer_v that_o which_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n require_v and_o that_o they_o be_v therefore_o in_o a_o damnable_a condition_n and_o that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o they_o true_o believe_v and_o so_o apprehend_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o shall_v have_v life_n and_o salvation_n but_o they_o have_v not_o be_v instruct_v that_o if_o they_o do_v true_o believe_v than_o they_o do_v hereupon_o become_v subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n they_o have_v be_v instruct_v that_o he_o be_v jesus_n a_o saviour_n but_o they_o have_v not_o be_v instruct_v that_o to_o whosoever_o he_o be_v jesus_n a_o saviour_n he_o be_v also_o to_o they_o christ_n a_o lord_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o take_v faith_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a notion_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n swim_v in_o their_o brain_n or_o at_o the_o best_a but_o a_o mere_a apprehension_n thereof_o in_o their_o mind_n which_o be_v but_o a_o faith_n of_o their_o own_o forge_n &_o so_o they_o think_v they_o have_v a_o strong_a faith_n when_o as_o indeed_o they_o have_v not_o the_o least_o measure_n or_o degree_n of_o a_o true_a weak_a faith_n they_o think_v they_o have_v christ_n in_o their_o heart_n when_o as_o indeed_o he_o be_v but_o in_o their_o head_n they_o think_v they_o have_v he_o in_o their_o will_n and_o affection_n when_o as_o indeed_o they_o have_v he_o but_o only_o in_o their_o understanding_n and_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o mistake_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 30._o where_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n both_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n for_o whereas_o they_o do_v thence_o conclude_v that_o christ_n inherent_a righteousness_n be_v not_o only_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o a_o believer_n be_v justify_v but_o also_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o he_o be_v sanctify_v and_o that_o in_o a_o believer_n there_o be_v no_o inherent_a righteousness_n nor_o sanctification_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o have_v affirm_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o so_o but_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n have_v not_o only_o ordain_v that_o believer_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o have_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o christ_n impute_v unto_o they_o but_o that_o christ_n also_o shall_v by_o his_o spirit_n infuse_v righteousness_n into_o they_o and_o so_o sanctify_v they_o he_o have_v not_o only_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n procure_v the_o one_o but_o also_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n procure_v the_o other_o and_o so_o indeed_o be_v make_v unto_o they_o both_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o show_v you_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o those_o professor_n who_o confound_v his_o twofold_a righteousness_n and_o how_o they_o do_v it_o sim._n well_o sir_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_o none_o of_o this_o sort_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o show_v i_o also_o who_o be_v the_o second_o sort_n and_o how_o they_o do_v it_o min._n why_o the_o second_o sort_n be_v such_o as_o be_v true_o call_v formal_a or_o legal_a professor_n who_o confound_v the_o righteousness_n of_o justification_n with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o sanctification_n make_v they_o to_o be_v both_o one_o for_o they_o will_v have_v that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o man_n himself_o or_o rather_o those_o righteous_a action_n which_o be_v perform_v and_o do_v by_o himself_o to_o be_v not_o only_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o he_o be_v sanctify_v but_o also_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o such_o man_n do_v labour_n and_o endeavour_v to_o reform_v their_o life_n and_o their_o way_n and_o to_o perform_v good_a duty_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o man_n and_o also_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v have_v a_o ground_n to_o build_v their_o faith_n upon_o and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o can_v see_v a_o righteous_a disposition_n in_o themselves_o and_o righteous_a and_o religious_a action_n perform_v by_o themselves_o why_o so_o far_o forth_o they_o will_v believe_v that_o they_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o no_o further_o sim._n and_o i_o pray_v you_o sir_n show_v i_o also_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o this_o their_o mistake_n min._n why_o true_o i_o have_v also_o think_v upon_o three_o reason_n of_o this_o whereof_o the_o first_o be_v because_o they_o either_o by_o mean_n of_o hear_v read_v or_o conference_n have_v be_v instruct_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o if_o a_o man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o this_o life_n be_v able_a to_o keep_v and_o do_v they_o perfect_o and_o so_o may_v be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n by_o his_o own_o obedience_n to_o they_o and_o they_o have_v not_o be_v condemn_v and_o kill_v by_o the_o law_n in_o have_v it_o make_v know_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o purity_n and_o perfection_n of_o it_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o have_v have_v little_a or_o no_o instruction_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n or_o covenant_n of_o promise_n especial_o betwixt_o that_o covenant_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n or_o betwixt_o the_o righteousness_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o

lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n not_o for_o faith_n and_o justification_n but_o from_o faith_n and_o justification_n then_o may_v he_o be_v assure_v that_o inherent_a righteousness_n wrought_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n have_v follow_v as_o a_o consequent_a and_o so_o consequent_o that_o he_o have_v both_o the_o righteousness_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o sanctification_n bear_v witness_n either_o to_o other_o in_o their_o due_a place_n according_a to_o god_n own_o order_n and_o as_o his_o own_o distinct_a action_n and_o now_o neighbour_n simon_n i_o beseech_v you_o try_v yourself_o by_o these_o thing_n and_o know_v that_o if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o any_o measure_n thus_o with_o you_o than_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o you_o have_v true_o believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o sanctify_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o be_v no_o formal_a or_o legal_a professor_n but_o if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o no_o measure_n thus_o with_o you_o but_o that_o you_o have_v labour_v and_o endeavour_v to_o live_v a_o godly_a and_o righteous_a course_n of_o life_n that_o so_o you_o may_v have_v a_o ground_n to_o build_v your_o faith_n upon_o that_o be_v upon_o your_o own_o righteousness_n and_o performance_n if_o you_o have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n righteousness_n as_o the_o apostle_n 3._o rom._n 10._o 3._o say_v the_o jew_n be_v and_o have_v go_v about_o to_o establish_v your_o own_o righteousness_n as_o they_o do_v than_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o you_o have_v not_o true_o believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o be_v you_o justify_v nor_o sanctify_v but_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n a_o mere_a legal_a professor_n sim._n sir_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o i_o have_v not_o heretofore_o be_v acquaint_v with_o these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v true_o say_v that_o i_o have_v do_v thus_o or_o that_o it_o have_v be_v so_o with_o i_o but_o yet_o i_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o i_o have_v go_v about_o to_o establish_v my_o own_o righteousness_n for_o i_o know_v right_a well_o that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o we_o can_v we_o be_v but_o unprofitable_a servant_n and_o that_o a_o man_n be_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o his_o own_o work_n and_o merit_n as_o the_o papist_n hold_v min._n i_o but_o neighbour_n simon_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o say_v thus_o in_o word_n and_o to_o hold_v thus_o in_o judgement_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o do_v it_o in_o effect_n and_o practice_n i_o mean_v in_o heart_n and_o conscience_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v and_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o he_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o performance_n for_o that_o be_v only_o a_o work_n of_o the_o judgement_n right_o

profession_n you_o be_v not_o a_o papist_n in_o effect_n and_o practice_n i_o mean_v in_o the_o inward_a disposition_n of_o your_o heart_n as_o i_o fear_v i_o too_o many_o both_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o this_o city_n be_v for_o if_o i_o be_v not_o mistake_v their_o very_a speech_n and_o behaviour_n do_v testify_v that_o because_o they_o know_v and_o do_v more_o than_o they_o do_v conceive_v
