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. Mayne ... Mayne, Zachary, 1631-1694. 1662 (1662) Wing M1485; ESTC R4815 251,017 422

proposition_n thorough_o believe_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o true_a religion_n by_o faith_n we_o receive_v the_o notion_n of_o god_n root_o in_o our_o foul_n and_o then_o all_o the_o discovery_n of_o god_n in_o any_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o wisdom_n power_n and_o goodness_n in_o his_o work_n or_o in_o his_o word_n in_o his_o work_n heb._n 11.3_o by_o faith_n we_o understand_v that_o the_o world_n be_v frame_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v be_v not_o make_v of_o thing_n which_o do_v appear_v whether_o faith_n take_v this_o proposition_n

present_a purpose_n which_o be_v this_o to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o strong_o and_o effectual_o in_o we_o own_v the_o be_v of_o god_n and_o the_o work_n of_o god_n again_o it_o be_v faith_n receive_v all_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n by_o any_o messenger_n that_o he_o send_v unto_o we_o at_o any_o time_n testimony_n time_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a

of_o god_n that_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v call_v as_o often_o by_o the_o name_n of_o believer_n as_o by_o any_o other_o name_n act_v 5.14_o 1_o tim._n 4.12_o and_o the_o word_n

christ_n himself_o and_o bring_v christ_n into_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o christ_n come_v to_o dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o faith_n eph._n 3.17_o which_o be_v indeed_o a_o figurative_a expression_n there_o be_v faith_n in_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n in_o god_n the_o father_n and_o there_o be_v faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n but_o of_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v
