That justification is not by the law, but by faith, 2. That yet men are generally prone to seek justification by the law : together with several characters assigned of a legal and evangical spirit : to which is added (by way of appendix) the manner of transferring justification from the law to faith / by Zach.

character_n as_o it_o concern_v those_o that_o be_v under_o predominant_a legality_n now_o because_o the_o same_o character_n that_o will_v discover_v it_o at_o this_o height_n will_v discover_v it_o also_o where_o it_o be_v in_o any_o less_o degree_n and_o for_o that_o i_o have_v assert_v that_o there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o legality_n in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o best_a christian_n and_o saint_n of_o god_n i_o think_v it_o good_a to_o improve_v this_o character_n yet_o further_o for_o the_o discovery_n of_o that_o legality_n which_o may_v be_v find_v in_o the_o saint_n themselves_o that_o legality_n of_o the_o saint_n therefore_o which_o be_v discoverable_a and_o reprovable_a by_o this_o character_n be_v 1._o that_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o some_o good_a man_n have_v a_o conscience_n of_o some_o superstitious_a observation_n and_o i_o will_v not_o for_o all_o the_o world_n think_v the_o contrary_a lest_o i_o shall_v condemn_v the_o generate_fw-la on_o of_o the_o just_a and_o think_v too_o hardly_o of_o some_o dear_a saint_n of_o god_n and_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v there_o be_v too_o much_o occasion_n give_v man_n to_o run_v into_o this_o extreme_a of_o superstition_n by_o the_o irreverence_n of_o other_o perhaps_o good_a man_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n how_o ordinary_o do_v many_o sit_v at_o prayer_n in_o the_o church_n when_o they_o be_v not_o necessitate_v by_o weakness_n or_o any_o other_o occasion_n and_o with_o their_o hat_n upon_o their_o head_n now_o how_o easy_o may_v this_o give_v occasion_n to_o other_o that_o take_v offence_n at_o this_o irreverence_n out_o of_o a_o fear_n lest_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v reverend_a enough_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n to_o approve_v of_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o good_a man_n may_v be_v very_o zealous_a for_o as_o also_o forbow_v at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n but_o yet_o i_o reckon_v that_o good_a man_n be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o legality_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o moral_a duty_n then_o in_o ceremony_n and_o superstition_n for_o though_o i_o have_v acknowledge_v that_o some_o good_a man_n may_v have_v a_o conscience_n of_o some_o superstitious_a observation_n be_v mislead_v by_o the_o care_n to_o be_v sufficient_o reverend_a yet_o to_o be_v great_o superstitious_a in_o gospel-day_n be_v a_o shrewd_a sign_n of_o a_o rot_a heart_n and_o so_o not_o so_o incident_a to_o good_a man_n 2_o for_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n good_a man_n legality_n lie_v in_o two_o particular_n 1._o when_o they_o have_v perform_v a_o duty_n right_o and_o spiritual_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o reflect_v upon_o it_o with_o a_o spiritual_a pride_n and_o ready_a to_o lay_v too_o much_o stress_n upon_o it_o and_o to_o think_v that_o now_o god_n must_v needs_o grant_v the_o petition_n they_o have_v ask_v whereas_o perhaps_o they_o have_v answer_n enough_o in_o the_o very_a sweetness_n of_o the_o duty_n itself_o and_o the_o communion_n with_o god_n which_o they_o have_v enjoy_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v not_o humble_v after_o such_o a_o duty_n to_o see_v their_o great_a unworthiness_n notwithstanding_o all_o they_o have_v do_v they_o be_v so_o far_o guilty_a of_o legality_n or_o which_o be_v more_o usual_a two_o the_o saint_n too_o often_o content_v themselves_o with_o do_v their_o tale_n and_o number_n of_o duty_n pray_v morning_n and_o evening_n perhaps_o read_v so_o many_o chapter_n but_o be_v not_o spiritual_a in_o what_o they_o do_v watch_v over_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o right_a manner_n with_o those_o spiritual_a affection_n stir_v in_o prayer_n that_o attention_n in_o read_v that_o shall_v be_v this_o be_v common_o know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o rest_v in_o duty_n this_o be_v ●egality_n and_o yet_o i_o think_v that_o which_o be_v find_v more_o or_o less_o in_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o so_o far_o indulge_v to_o themselves_o by_o some_o saint_n till_o at_o last_o they_o have_v a_o general_a deadness_n and_o benummedness_n in_o all_o their_o grace_n and_o then_o they_o fall_v into_o sad_a complaint_n of_o desertion_n and_o run_v into_o a_o maze_n and_o a_o labyrinth_n of_o doubt_n and_o trouble_n of_o mind_n which_o perhaps_o they_o get_v not_o out_o of_o for_o some_o year_n together_o as_o for_o those_o saint_n that_o pick_v and_o choose_v among_o the_o commandment_n that_o be_v high-flown_a in_o their_o notion_n and_o yet_o err_v gross_o in_o matter_n of_o common_a justice_n and_o honesty_n that_o be_v indeed_o not_o only_o slanderous_o report_v or_o unworthy_o suspect_v to_o be_v so_o disobedient_a to_o magistrate_n with_o other_o like_a irregular_a christian_n i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v to_o they_o here_o i_o refer_v these_o to_o the_o head_n of_o hypocritical_a legallist_n that_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o parcial_a obedience_n to_o the_o command_v of_o the_o moral_a law_n these_o not_o be_v spot_n of_o god_n child_n there_o be_v other_o miscarriage_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o duty_n that_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o their_o legality_n of_o spirit_n as_o for_o instance_n if_o they_o chance_v through_o extraordinary_a occasion_n to_o have_v miss_v the_o time_n of_o prayer_n morning_n or_o evening_n to_o have_v miss_v the_o read_v their_o number_n of_o chapter_n or_o do_v any_o good_a task_n which_o they_o have_v lay_v upon_o themselves_o than_o they_o have_v a_o great_a fear_n and_o terror_n lest_o god_n shall_v be_v angry_a and_o displease_v with_o they_o though_o indeed_o mercy_n be_v at_o end_v instead_o of_o sacrifice_n but_o such_o as_o these_o belong_v to_o another_o head_n or_o character_n of_o a_o legal_a spirit_n to_o wit_n a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n which_o i_o shall_v come_v unto_o anon_o i_o have_v now_o perfect_o do_v with_o the_o first_o character_n as_o to_o its_o explication_n proof_n and_o application_n both_o to_o legality_n predominant_a and_o that_o which_o be_v find_v in_o a_o less_o degree_n in_o which_o i_o may_v be_v think_v tedious_a enough_o only_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v so_o much_o as_o a_o cavil_n without_o some_o endeavour_n at_o least_o of_o a_o answer_n to_o it_o now_o i_o be_o sensible_a that_o thought_n may_v arise_v in_o some_o as_o if_o this_o whole_a particular_a be_v impertinent_a obj._n whoever_o think_v before_o may_v they_o chance_v say_v that_o superstition_n be_v legality_n that_o a_o partial_a performance_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n either_o by_o the_o less_o strict_a or_o more_o strict_a morallist_n be_v legality_n if_o man_n will_v seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n they_o will_v endeavour_v at_o least_o to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o if_o they_o know_v they_o fall_v short_a of_o it_o as_o those_o profane_a wicked_a man_n which_o you_o mention_v out_o of_o isaiah_n jeremiah_n and_o other_o place_n that_o be_v very_o wicked_a do_v and_o yet_o rest_v in_o ceremonious_a performance_n and_o external_a privilege_n these_o indeed_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o wicked_a man_n but_o not_o of_o legallist_n or_o such_o as_o seek_v justification_n by_o the_o law_n now_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v and_o i_o shall_v say_v but_o little_o more_o than_o what_o i_o have_v say_v before_o 1._o it_o be_v true_a none_o ought_v to_o seek_v justification_n by_o the_o law_n but_o those_o that_o have_v perfect_o keep_v it_o hitherto_o and_o undertake_v to_o keep_v it_o for_o the_o future_a part_n of_o their_o life_n 2._o if_o any_o seek_v justification_n any_o other_o way_n they_o do_v but_o be-fool_n themselves_o 3._o but_o yet_o the_o jew_n and_o galatian_n do_v seek_v justification_n by_o work_n by_o the_o law_n asit_fw-la be_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n else_o the_o apostle_n have_v dispute_v against_o no_o adversary_n and_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o perfect_v and_o unerring_a obedience_n so_o i_o reckon_v the_o objection_n be_v answer_v already_o that_o man_n may_v seek_v justification_n by_o the_o law_n that_o have_v not_o nor_o think_v they_o have_v the_o exact_a work_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o to_o give_v some_o overplus_n of_o answer_n there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o do_v seek_v justification_n by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n yea_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o seek_v it_o this_o way_n it_o must_v be_v in_o some_o kind_n of_o action_n or_o other_o now_o i_o have_v show_v that_o these_o very_a man_n that_o be_v tax_v for_o legality_n by_o the_o apostle_n viz._n the_o jew_n and_o galatian_n they_o be_v also_o tax_v for_o their_o be_v so_o much_o in_o love_n with_o ceremony_n and_o superstition_n and_o with_o external_a
