to_o deny_v which_o in_o the_o prevalent_a practice_n will_v be_v man_n utter_a ruin_n and_o be_v none_o but_o antinomian_o and_o libertine_n concern_v in_o this_o what_o a_o odd_a thing_n be_v it_o

then_o hear_v he_o in_o his_o aphorism_n till_o his_o retractation_n appear_v thes_n 20._o p._n 111._o to_o affirm_v say_v he_o that_o our_o evangelical_n or_o new_a covenant_n righteousness_n be_v in_o christ_n and_o not_o in_o ourselves_o or_o perform_v by_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o ourselves_o be_v such_o a_o monstrous_a piece_n of_o antinomian_a doctrine_n &_o but_o that_o all_o our_o

if_o i_o wrong_v he_o in_o the_o least_o nay_o i_o dare_v almost_o do_v not_o the_o thing_n see_v too_o shameful_a to_o be_v confess_v appeal_v unto_o himself_o however_o if_o i_o be_o mistake_v i_o

of_o no_o justification_n but_o by_o faith_n without_o work_n and_o from_o mr_n baxter_n we_o have_v a_o particular-justification_n for_o every_o particular_a grace_n than_o can_v be_v name_v for_o
