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. By John Bunyan. Bunyan, John, 1628-1688. 1673 (1673) Wing B5508; ESTC R215886 107,458 132

doctrine_n be_v in_o itself_o of_o quite_o another_o nature_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o also_o as_o such_o a_o covenant_n by_o itself_o it_o require_v the_o mind_n by_o virtue_n of_o its_o command_n to_o stand_v to_o that_o and_o to_o rest_v in_o that_o for_o of_o necessity_n the_o heart_n and_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n can_v go_v no_o far_o than_o it_o see_v and_o have_v learn_v but_o by_o this_o moral_a doctrine_n the_o heart_n and_o mind_n be_v bind_v and_o limit_v to_o itself_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o dictate_v to_o obedience_n and_o the_o promise_n of_o obtain_v the_o blessing_n 3._o when_o the_o preceptive_a part_n of_o it_o be_v fulfil_v hence_o paul_n tell_v we_o that_o though_o that_o ministration_n that_o be_v write_v and_o engrave_v in_o stone_n which_o in_o nature_n be_v the_o same_o with_o this_o be_v glorious_a yet_o these_o imperfection_n attend_v the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o it_o 1._o he_o be_v but_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o ministration_n of_o death_n 2._o in_o this_o estate_n he_o be_v blind_a and_o can_v not_o see_v how_o to_o be_v deliver_v therefrom_o the_o vail_n be_v over_o their_o heart_n so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o heretofore_o neither_o can_v they_o now_o see_v to_o the_o end_n of_o that_o which_o be_v command_v neither_o to_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o command_n nor_o their_o own_o insufficiency_n to_o do_v it_o nor_o to_o th●_n death_n and_o curse_n of_o god_n that_o attend_v he_o that_o in_o every_o thing_n continue_v not_o in_o that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o 3._o every_o lecture_n or_o read_v of_o this_o old_a law_n be_v as_o a_o fresh_a hood-winking_a of_o its_o disciple_n and_o a_o double_n of_o the_o hindrance_n of_o their_o come_n to_o christ_n

ordaination_n figure_n shadow_n representation_n and_o emblem_n of_o he_o but_o the_o moral_n be_v not_o so_o neither_o as_o write_a in_o our_o nature_n nor_o as_o write_a and_o engrave_v in_o stone_n wherefore_o your_o so_o high_o commend_v obedient_a temper_n of_o mind_n you_o intend_v thereby_o a_o hearty_a compliance_n before_o faith_n with_o moral_n for_o righteousness_n be_v so_o far_o off_o

most_o ready_a way_n of_o all_o way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o keep_v a_o man_n perpetual_o blind_a and_o ignorant_a thereof_o wherefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o veil_n the_o ignorance_n can_v be_v take_v away_o but_o when_o the_o heart_n shall_v turn_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o moral_n as_o a_o law_n and_o covenant_n in_o our_o nature_n or_o as_o it_o

while_o moses_n be_v read_v the_o veil_n be_v over_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v while_o man_n with_o their_o mind_n stand_v bend_v also_o to_o do_v it_o but_o mark_v when_o it_o the_o heart_n shall_v

the_o gospel_n give_v life_n far_o in_o compare_v he_o call_v the_o law_n the_o ministration_n of_o death_n or_o that_o which_o lay_v death_n at_o the_o door_n of_o all_o flesh_n but_o the_o gospel_n the_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n because_o by_o this_o ministry_n there_o be_v a_o revelation_n of_o that_o righteousness_n that_o be_v fulfil_v by_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o
