this_o proposition_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n 1._o that_o faith_n put_v into_o possession_n of_o christ_n 2._o that_o justification_n necessary_o follow_v this_o possession_n but_o i_o shall_v stand_v upon_o the_o proof_n of_o neither_o see_v as_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v plain_a so_o they_o be_v confess_v by_o mr._n baxter_n i'faith_o than_o be_v either_o the_o efficient_a or_o instrument_n in_o our_o justication_n not_o the_o efficient_a all_o know_v and_o therefore_o a_o instrument_n 4._o that_o which_o be_v ascribe_v in_o scripture_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n in_o a_o work_n in_o which_o there_o be_v a_o concurrence_n of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o such_o expression_n which_o usual_o hold_v forth_o the_o efficiency_n of_o a_o instrument_n and_o can_v fair_o be_v interpret_v otherwise_o be_v not_o unfit_o call_v a_o instrument_n both_o of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o such_o a_o work_n this_o i_o know_v not_o how_o fair_o can_v be_v deny_v and_o any_o man_n will_v but_o abuse_v his_o reason_n that_o call_v for_o a_o proof_n of_o it_o but_o faith_n in_o scripture_n be_v ascribe_v both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n in_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n in_o which_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a concurrence_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o in_o word_n that_o usual_o hold_v out_o the_o work_n of_o a_o instrument_n and_o can_v fair_o be_v interpret_v otherwise_o therefore_o faith_n be_v not_o unfit_o call_v the_o instrument_n of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o justification_n the_o minor_a consist_v of_o four_o part_n 1._o that_o faith_n in_o justification_n be_v ascribe_v both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o this_o consist_v also_o of_o two_o part_n 1._o that_o faith_n be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n in_o justification_n and_o this_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v from_o rom._n 3.30_o gal._n 3.8_o as_o it_o be_v also_o ascribe_v to_o he_o in_o sanctification_n act._n 17.9_o 2._o that_o it_o be_v ascribe_v to_o man_n in_o justification_n which_o be_v hold_v out_o to_o we_o wheresoever_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n see_v faith_n be_v the_o act_n of_o man_n and_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o his_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n apply_v to_o justification_n rom._n 1.17_o gal._n 3.11_o the_o second_o part_n in_o this_o proposition_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a concurrence_n of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o this_o work_n as_o god_n give_v a_o discharge_n so_o man_n accept_v which_o by_o mr._n br._n himself_o be_v acknowledge_v according_a to_o that_o before_o quote_v out_o of_o austin_n the_o three_o part_n be_v that_o th●●_n be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n and_o man_n in_o expression_n that_o usual_o hold_v forth_o the_o efficiency_n of_o a_o instrument_n which_o the_o phrase_n by_o and_o through_o do_v manifest_n the_o four_o be_v that_o it_o can_v be_v fair_o interpret_v otherwise_o or_o of_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o a_o instrument_n and_o this_o be_v also_o clear_a either_o it_o must_v hold_v out_o a_o meritorious_a cause_n a_o mere_a condition_n or_o else_o a_o instrument_n a_o meritorious_a cause_n none_o will_v say_v a_o mere_a condition_n or_o bare_a causa_fw-la sine_fw-la quâ_fw-la non_fw-la it_o can_v be_v for_o two_o reason_n 1._o such_o phrase_n be_v uncouth_a to_o say_v that_o a_o thing_n be_v do_v by_o that_o which_o be_v mere_o a_o condition_n sine_fw-la quâ_fw-la non_fw-la of_o it_o 2._o there_o be_v many_o other_o such_o condition_n to_o which_o this_o be_v never_o thus_o apply_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o which_o of_o the_o angel_n say_v he_o at_o any_o time_n thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o and_o again_o i_o will_v be_v to_o he_o a_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v to_o i_o a_o son_n heb._n 1.5_o to_o which_o of_o the_o angel_n say_v he_o at_o any_o time_n sit_v on_o my_o right_a hand_n until_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n thy_o footstool_n heh_o 1.13_o so_o we_o may_v say_v to_o which_o of_o the_o grace_n when_o all_o be_v reckon_v up_o by_o number_n be_v it_o ever_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o tthe_o conclusion_n then_o follow_v as_o before_o that_o faith_n be_v a_o instrument_n of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o justification_n 5._o out_o of_o this_o we_o may_v more_o brief_o thus_o argue_v if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n single_a out_o faith_n from_o among_o all_o other_o grace_n which_o be_v yet_o condition_n or_o causae_fw-la sine_fw-la quibus_fw-la non_fw-la and_o ascribe_v alone_o to_o it_o that_o which_o in_o the_o ordinary_a acceptation_n hold_v out_o a_o instrumental_a efficiency_n than_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a condition_n or_o causa_fw-la sine_fw-la quâ_fw-la non_fw-la but_o a_o instrumental_a efficient_a but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n single_v out_o faith_n from_o among_o all_o other_o grace_n which_o be_v condition_n and_o causae_fw-la sine_fw-la quibus_fw-la non_fw-la and_o ascribe_v to_o it_o and_o no_o other_o that_o which_o in_o the_o ordinary_a acceptation_n imply_v a_o instrumental_a efficiency_n the_o conclusion_n than_o follow_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o instrumental_a efficient_a in_o justification_n last_o to_o bring_v if_o it_o may_v be_v a_o compromize_v argument_n if_o faith_n work_v at_o least_o that_o which_o be_v proportionable_a to_o a_o instrument_n proper_o and_o rigid_o so_o call_v in_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n than_o it_o be_v not_o unfit_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o instrument_n this_o be_v plain_a that_o which_o do_v work_v that_o every_o way_n answer_v to_o the_o work_n of_o a_o instrument_n that_o may_v fit_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n but_o faith_n work_v at_o least_o that_o which_o be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o work_n of_o a_o instrument_n this_o be_v confess_v by_o mr._n br._n who_o be_v ready_a to_o yield_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v call_v instrumentum_fw-la metaphoricum_fw-la and_o a_o metaphor_n be_v a_o figure_n whereby_o a_o word_n be_v carry_v out_o of_o its_o most_o proper_a signification_n unto_o a_o other_o that_o carry_v resemblance_n and_o proportion_n with_o it_o in_o case_n than_o it_o do_v not_o that_o which_o be_v proportionable_a to_o a_o instrument_n proper_o so_o call_v it_o be_v no_o instrumentum_fw-la metaphporicum_n but_o catachresticon_n and_o indeed_o mr._n baxter_n gloss_n render_v it_o such_o a_o catachresis_fw-la as_o may_v make_v all_o rhetoric_n ashamed_a of_o it_o a_o metaphorical_a instrument_n that_o shall_v have_v no_o resemblance_n of_o a_o instrument_n in_o it_o but_o if_o any_o will_v say_v that_o a_o instrument_n be_v external_a sensible_a whether_o it_o be_v for_o operation_n or_o reception_n but_o faith_n be_v internal_a invisible_a and_o therefore_o no_o instrument_n rigid_o and_o proper_o so_o call_v though_o there_o be_v no_o cogent_a reason_n to_o yield_v it_o for_o as_o be_v the_o agent_n so_o well_o may_v be_v the_o instrument_n yet_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o stiff_a to_o contend_v about_o it_o yield_v that_o it_o do_v the_o work_n to_o put_v into_o christ_n from_o who_o justification_n necessary_o follow_v and_o i_o will_v no_o long_o contend_v about_o the_o word_n but_o let_v it_o be_v a_o instrument_n in_o exact_a property_n of_o speech_n or_o in_o a_o metaphor_n as_o man_n shall_v please_v as_o to_o that_o of_o the_o sole_a sufficiency_n of_o the_o word_n without_o faith_n as_o a_o instrument_n in_o justification_n i_o may_v take_v up_o a_o argument_n from_o mr._n baxter_n and_o thus_o reason_n that_o which_o can_v bring_v a_o man_n to_o the_o work_n that_o be_v antecedent_n to_o justification_n can_v justify_v this_o be_v clear_a that_o which_o can_v work_v the_o prerequisites_n can_v work_v the_o thing_n itself_o but_o the_o word_n alone_o according_a to_o mr._n baxter_n can_v bring_v a_o man_n to_o these_o antecedent_n work_v sect._n 14._o chap._n 29._o ergo._n but_o i_o shall_v content_v myself_o at_o present_a with_o this_o only_a that_o which_o the_o word_n say_v be_v do_v by_o faith_n it_o can_v do_v without_o it_o this_o be_v clear_a but_o the_o word_n say_v and_o frequent_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n ergo_fw-la the_o word_n can_v justify_v without_o faith_n here_o some_o distinction_n must_v be_v use_v if_o any_o evasion_n be_v endeavour_v but_o than_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o justification_n that_o be_v speak_v to_o by_o mr._n baxter_n then_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n for_o scripture-justification_n be_v still_o by_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n constant_a language_n and_o to_o come_v to_o a_o right_a understanding_n if_o it_o may_v be_v of_o party_n somewhat_o must_v be_v yield_v and_o somewhat_o assert_v and_o maintain_v that_o which_o must_v be_v yield_v be_v that_o god_n in_o his_o word_n declare_v upon_o what_o term_n a_o man_n may_v attain_v unto_o justification_n and_o to_o this_o the_o word_n
