A50426	St. Paul's travailing pangs, with his legal-Galatians, or, A treatise of justification wherein these two dissertions are chiefly evinced viz. 1. 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.

the_o apostle_n will_v prove_v justification_n by_o faith_n out_o of_o this_o scripture_n he_o must_v at_o least_o allow_v it_o as_o justify_v in_o that_o case_n in_o which_o it_o be_v particular_o

the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n in_o opposition_n to_o work_n that_o be_v legal_a work_n now_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o the_o general_n that_o the_o great_a reason_n of_o this_o must_v be_v the_o divine_a ordination_n and_o appointment_n it_o can_v not_o be_v mere_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n nothing_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n can_v justify_v a_o rational_a creature_n
