A30137	A defence of the doctrine of justification, by faith in Jesus Christ: shewing, true Gospel-holiness flows from thence. Or, Mr. Fowler's pretended design of Christianity, proved to be nothing more then to trample under foot the blood of the Son of God and the idolizing of man's own righteousness. As also, how while he pretends to be a minister of the Church of England, he overthroweth the wholesom doctrine contained in the 10th. 11th. and 13th. of the Thirty Nine Articles of the same, and that he falleth in with the Quaker, and Romanist, against them.

before_o but_o after_o we_o be_v make_v sincere_o righteous_a then_o may_v not_o faith_n be_v thus_o act_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v it_o until_o he_o be_v first_o a_o sincere_o righteous_a person_n 4._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bring_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n in_o god_n sight_n before_o he_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o

may_v be_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n without_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o a_o man_n must_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a in_o god_n account_n
