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.

of_o god_n mercy_n in_o their_o salvation_n by_o christ_n and_o the_o more_o ardent_o and_o affectionate_o will_v they_o love_v christ_n and_o study_v and_o strive_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o

they_o he_o can_v never_o acknowledge_v how_o great_o he_o be_v indebt_v and_o behold_v unto_o christ_n for_o his_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v never_o true_o love_v he_o as_o he_o ought_v nor_o be_v true_o thankful_a unto_o he_o you_o see_v then_o how_o necessary_a it_o be_v that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v teach_v as_o well_o as_o the_o gospel_n now_o whereas_o it_o be_v object_v unto_o i_o object_n that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n be_v so_o far_o from_o prepare_v man_n for_o christ_n that_o it_o hinder_v the_o salvation_n of_o many_o to_o this_o i_o

mean_n of_o the_o conversion_n of_o any_o because_o no_o man_n live_a can_v observe_v the_o law_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o yea_o i_o will_v say_v more_o if_o any_o do_v preach_v the_o law_n to_o those_o who_o have_v timorata_n conscientias_fw-la tender_a and_o tremble_a conscience_n which_o be_v so_o cast_v down_o with_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o pour_v the_o oil_n of_o joy_n and_o the_o balm_n of_o the_o gospel_n into_o their_o contrite_a &_o break_a heart_n such_o undiscreet_a preach_n of_o the_o law_n can_v but_o be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o weaken_v faith_n where_o it_o be_v wrought_v already_o and_o to_o hinder_v other_o from_o believe_v who_o by_o the_o comfortable_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v encourage_v to_o lay_v hold_n of_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o to_o cast_v themselves_o confident_o on_o he_o for_o their_o salvation_n but_o though_o this_o be_v so_o yet_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n be_v as_o necessary_a to_o humble_v those_o that_o see_v not_o their_o sin_n and_o the_o danger_n of_o they_o but_o live_v secure_o in_o they_o that_o so_o despair_v of_o salvation_n in_o themselves_o they_o may_v seek_v it_o by_o christ_n only_o again_o after_o that_o man_n do_v deny_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o work_n altogether_o and_o rely_v only_o on_o christ_n for_o salvation_n although_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o be_v press_v on_o they_o as_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n nor_o preach_v in_o the_o full_a latitude_n thereof_o yet_o that_o they_o may_v not_o turn_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n into_o lasciviousness_n as_o st._n judas_n speak_v but_o carry_v themselves_o so_o that_o they_o may_v glorify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o not_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v blaspheme_v it_o shall_v be_v necessary_a for_o they_o to_o set_v the_o law_n before_o they_o as_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o action_n or_o as_o a_o directory_n according_a whereunto_o they_o be_v to_o frame_v and_o conform_v their_o life_n and_o conversation_n in_o this_o regard_n the_o moral_a law_n for_o of_o that_o only_o i_o speak_v be_v not_o abrogate_a but_o subordinate_v unto_o the_o gospel_n yea_o and_o after_o a_o sort_n incorporate_v into_o it_o for_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o three_o head_n 1._o piety_n towards_o god_n 2._o justice_n or_o righteousness_n towards_o a_o man_n neighbour_n and_o three_o sobriety_n or_o temperance_n in_o order_v of_o himself_o now_o all_o these_o the_o gospel_n prescribe_v and_o require_v as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n 2.11.12_o ●_o 2.11.12_o for_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n have_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o of_o the_o law_n teach_v that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_o in_o this_o present_a world_n thus_o both_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o moral_a duty_n whereupon_o it_o be_v that_o st._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o do_v herein_o exercise_v himself_o 24.16_o act_n 24.16_o to_o have_v always_o a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n object_n and_o towards_o man_n but_o i_o know_v that_o some_o of_o those_o with_o who_o i_o now_o deal_v will_v confess_v that_o such_o duty_n be_v teach_v in_o the_o gospel_n but_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o they_o by_o the_o law_n it_o be_v whole_o abrogate_a answer_n to_o who_o i_o return_v this_o answer_n that_o the_o

to_o do_v the_o duty_n therein_o prescribe_v thus_o as_o st._n paul_n have_v tell_v we_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n but_o otherwise_o the_o moral_a law_n have_v not_o

11._o st._n james_n also_o teach_v that_o believer_n be_v bind_v to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n when_o he_o say_v if_o you_o fulfil_v the_o royal_a law_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o you_o do_v well_o but_o if_o you_o have_v respect_n to_o person_n you_o commit_v sin_n &_o be_v require_v be_v if_o believer_n be_v not_o bind_v

convince_v of_o the_o law_n as_o transgressor_n etc._n etc._n now_o let_v any_o reasonable_a man_n judge_n whether_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n will_v thus_o have_v allege_v the_o law_n to_o stir_v up_o believer_n to_o mutual_a love_n and_o the_o office_n thereof_o if_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v altogether_o abrogate_a and_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o it_o no_o more_o than_o the_o ceremonial_a if_o any_o one_o shall_v tell_v christian_n that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v circumcise_v or_o to_o abstain_v from_o the_o eat_n of_o swine_n flesh_n

make_v both_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n james_n to_o be_v in_o press_v we_o to_o love_v one_o another_o by_o that_o precept_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o
