compare_v i_o to_o plunderer_n in_o time_n of_o fight_n which_o will_v but_o weary_v the_o reader_n to_o see_v repeat_v whereas_o after_o other_o word_n i_o add_v i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o it_o will_v easy_o appear_v that_o those_o divine_n that_o with_o a_o concurrent_a judgement_n without_o almost_o a_o dissent_v voice_n have_v make_v faith_n a_o instrument_n in_o this_o work_n speak_v most_o apt_o and_o most_o agreeable_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o instrument_n he_n be_v please_v to_o reply_n but_o sir_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o sudden_a change_n through_o their_o great_a condescension_n i_o have_v receive_v animadversion_n from_o many_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a judicious_a divine_n that_o i_o know_v in_o england_n and_o of_o all_o these_o there_o be_v but_o one_o man_n that_o do_v own_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n instrumentality_n but_o they_o disclaim_v it_o all_o some_o with_o distaste_n other_o with_o a_o modest_a excuse_n of_o they_o that_o use_v it_o and_o the_o gentle_a interpretation_n of_o a_o metaphorical_a instrument_n and_o that_o remote_a for_o so_o they_o will_v have_v i_o interpret_v our_o divine_n i_o tell_v you_o this_o when_o i_o

own_o word_n which_o be_v these_o object_n but_o though_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o instrument_n of_o our_o justification_n may_v it_o not_o be_v call_v the_o instrument_n of_o receive_v christ_n answ_n i_o think_v they_o mean_v so_o and_o no_o more_o who_o call_v faith_n the_o instrument_n of_o our_o justification_n etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v not_o be_v unwilling_a to_o yield_v to_o you_o that_o to_o speak_v exact_o faith_n may_v better_o be_v call_v a_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n so_o far_o mr._n c._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o why_o have_v we_o not_o the_o authority_n of_o divine_n that_o be_v open_a to_o all_o man_n eye_n rather_o than_o of_o those_o that_o lie_v dormant_a in_o his_o hand_n and_o there_o be_v sure_o more_o in_o the_o press_n then_o in_o his_o

eminent_o learned_a person_n that_o we_o as_o well_o as_o he_o may_v see_v their_o weak_a opposition_n of_o plain_a scripture_n which_o somewhere_o be_v his_o free_a censure_n 3._o there_o be_v those_o if_o intelligence_n do_v not_o deceive_v i_o that_o he_o have_v say_v he_o have_v bring_v to_o his_o judgement_n in_o this_o thing_n that_o yet_o have_v profess_v themselves_o satisfy_v with_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v and_o be_v they_o of_o both_o our_o mind_n 4._o for_o mr._n c._n upon_o the_o come_n forth_o of_o this_o apology_n he_o write_v to_o i_o among_o other_o thing_n in_o these_o word_n vindicate_v mr._n c._n vindicate_v mr._n baxter_n pag._n 19_o cit_v some_o word_n of_o i_o about_o faith_n instrumentality_n but_o it_o have_v be_v fair_a to_o have_v signify_v what_o i_o say_v further_o about_o it_o especial_o in_o my_o second_o writing_n when_o i_o perceive_v what_o advantage_n he_o do_v take_v of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v before_o only_o to_o avoid_v contend_v about_o word_n which_o i_o do_v not_o like_a so_o far_o mr._n c._n i_o say_v in_o my_o treatise_n the_o work_n about_o which_o faith_n be_v employ_v be_v not_o a_o absolute_a but_o a_o

to_o be_v so_o naked_o affirm_v no_o doubt_n but_o justification_n be_v a_o relative_a change_n and_o it_o be_v past_a controversy_n that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o the_o actual_a concurrence_n of_o man_n for_o he_o must_v perform_v the_o condition_n on_o which_o god_n will_v justify_v he_o but_o that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o sole_a efficient_a nor_o any_o act_n of_o god_n the_o sole_a instrument_n i_o dare_v not_o have_v affirm_v without_o proof_n neither_o dare_v i_o have_v charge_v any_o man_n speech_n with_o danger_n of_o that_o nature_n without_o disproof_n unless_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o enough_o to_o make_v it_o so_o because_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o appear_v so_o and_o that_o which_o be_v here_o grant_v as_o without_o controversy_n be_v with_o i_o a_o proof_n sufficient_a if_o it_o be_v not_o do_v without_o the_o actual_a concurrence_n of_o man_n and_o be_v do_v by_o such_o concurrence_n of_o which_o we_o have_v as_o many_o proof_n as_o there_o be_v mention_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n there_o must_v be_v some_o kind_n of_o efficiency_n in_o this_o concurrence_n justification_n there_o be_v somewhat_o of_o efficiency_n in_o man_n concurrence_n by_o faith_n in_o justification_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o faith_n have_v no_o hand_n at_o all_o in_o it_o i_o can_v reach_v i_o bring_v for_o proof_n the_o absurdity_n that_o will_v follow_v upon_o denial_n in_o these_o word_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v unless_o we_o will_v bring_v in_o dr._n crispes_n passive_a recipiency_n of_o christ_n christ_n abode_n in_o man_n without_o man_n in_o spite_n of_o man_n and_o suppose_v he_o to_o be_v justify_v in_o unbelief_n to_o this_o be_v reply_v this_o be_v very_o naked_a assert_v why_o do_v you_o not_o show_v some_o reason_n of_o this_o ill_a consequence_n it_o be_v past_a any_o reach_n to_o see_v the_o least_o if_o i_o be_v too_o short_a it_o be_v now_o do_v to_o my_o hand_n where_o a_o mutual_a concurrence_n of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o the_o work_n be_v confess_v tell_v i_o how_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v unless_o christ_n come_v into_o man_n without_o man_n and_o in_o spite_n of_o he_o for_o if_o man_n act_n in_o it_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o agent_n it_o follow_v why_o do_v you_o still_o confound_v christ_n real_a abode_n in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n with_o the_o relation_n we_o have_v upon_o justification_n when_o even_o now_o you_o affirm_v it_o be_v a_o relative_a work_n as_o you_o call_v it_o i_o pray_v by_o the_o next_o show_v we_o more_o clear_o how_o these_o absurdity_n follow_v that_o doctrine_n and_o do_v not_o a_o relative_a work_n of_o this_o nature_n necessary_o presuppose_v this_o abode_n by_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v not_o a_o relative_a

be_o to_o learn_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n that_o desire_n of_o his_o i_o think_v be_v already_o satisfy_v i_o further_o say_v faith_n be_v disable_v from_o this_o office_n in_o justification_n by_o this_o argument_n if_o faith_n be_v a_o instrument_n it_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o god_n or_o man_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o in_o my_o treatise_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o man_n though_o man_n do_v not_o justify_v himself_o yet_o he_o concurre_v as_o a_o ready_a willing_a agent_n with_o god_n in_o it_o to_o which_o be_v reply_v if_o this_o be_v not_o a_o palpable_a contradiction_n say_v and_o unsay_n my_o logic_n be_v less_o than_o i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v if_o it_o be_v man_v instrument_n of_o justification_n and_o yet_o man_n do_v not_o justify_v himself_o then_o either_o man_n be_v not_o man_n or_o a_o instrument_n be_v not_o a_o instrument_n or_o justify_v be_v not_o justify_v it_o seem_v he_o will_v have_v we_o by_o the_o

logic_n can_v solve_v this_o contradiction_n yet_o i_o think_v his_o might_n who_o say_v receive_v strict_o take_v be_v ever_o passive_a and_o a_o man_n may_v be_v passive_a in_o justification_n and_o not_o justify_v himself_o but_o perhaps_o with_o i_o it_o be_v of_o more_o difficulty_n that_o have_v affirm_v that_o reception_n have_v still_o somewhat_o at_o least_o of_o action_n in_o it_o but_o this_o reception_n here_o in_o question_n have_v no_o more_o of_o action_n than_o serve_v to_o possess_v itself_o of_o a_o free_a gift_n which_o ever_o add_v honour_n to_o the_o giver_n not_o to_o the_o receiver_n i_o distinguish_v therefore_o of_o instrument_n of_o mere_a reception_n and_o instrument_n
