the_o forbearance_n of_o god_n in_o which_o text_n be_v justify_v and_o have_v our_o sin_n remit_v seem_v to_o be_v use_v as_o term_n of_o he_o same_o signification_n and_o the_o psalmist_n mean_v to_o describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o a_o justify_v person_n thus_o express_v it_o bless_v be_v they_o who_o iniquity_n be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n be_v cover_v psal_n xxxii_o 1_o 2._o bless_a be_v the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o impute_v sin_n rome_n four_o 5_o 6_o 7_o 8._o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v all_o the_o justification_n that_o sinful_a man_n and_o such_o all_o man_n be_v be_v capable_a of_o for_o be_v in_o truth_n sinner_n they_o can_v by_o a_o just_a god_n be_v acquit_v as_o innocent_a they_o can_v therefore_o be_v justify_v no_o other_o way_n but_o by_o have_v their_o sin_n forgive_v they_o and_o by_o be_v receive_v to_o mercy_n for_o if_o god_n shall_v enter_v into_o strict_a judgement_n with_o we_o no_o man_n live_v can_v be_v justify_v in_o his_o sight_n as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v psal_n cxliii_o 2._o to_o justify_v therefore_o in_o the_o common_a scriptural_a notion_n of_o it_o be_v to_o absolve_v from_o gild_n to_o discharge_v from_o punishment_n and_o according_o it_o be_v frequent_o in_o scripture_n oppose_v to_o condemnation_n it_o be_v god_n that_o justify_v say_v the_o apostle_n who_o be_v he_o that_o condemn_v rom._n viij_o 33_o 34._o and_o in_o another_o place_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o wrath_n through_o he_o rom._n u._n 9_o now_o take_v the_o word_n in_o this_o sense_n there_o be_v a_o two_o fold_v justification_n first_o when_o we_o take_v upon_o we_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o baptism_n for_o than_o our_o past_a sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o than_o we_o be_v receive_v into_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o pardon_n but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o full_a justification_n for_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o then_o clear_o pardon_v and_o forgive_v because_o they_o may_v after_o this_o be_v still_o impute_v to_o we_o and_o so_o they_o will_v be_v in_o case_n we_o afterward_o do_v either_o in_o profession_n or_o in_o work_n deny_v that_o faith_n which_o we_o then_o take_v upon_o we_o our_o second_o therefore_o and_o our_o complete_a and_o final_a justification_n be_v not_o till_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n when_o god_n will_v for_o ever_o acquit_v from_o the_o gild_n and_o free_a from_o the_o punishment_n of_o all_o their_o past_a sin_n all_o those_o who_o continue_v faithful_a to_o that_o covenant_n which_o they_o enter_v into_o with_o god_n at_o their_o baptism_n suppose_v therefore_o at_o present_a that_o n-ab_n paul_n and_o st._n james_n do_v by_o faith_n and_o work_v both_o mean_a the_o same_o thing_n yet_o if_o they_o do_v not_o both_o speak_v of_o the_o same_o justification_n if_o saint_n paul_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o justification_n by_o faith_n mean_v the_o first_o justification_n which_o be_v dispense_v to_o we_o in_o baptism_n and_o st._n james_n when_o he_o affirm_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o mean_v the_o second_o and_o final_a justification_n at_o the_o last_o day_n there_o be_v plain_o no_o manner_n of_o contrariety_n between_o they_o for_o it_o may_v be_v true_a that_o in_o order_n to_o our_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o justification_n and_o pardon_v nothing_o more_o may_v be_v require_v but_o only_o that_o we_o firm_o believe_v and_o embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n and_o according_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o a_o previous_a disposition_n to_o baptism_n nothing_o else_o seem_v to_o be_v require_v but_o only_o that_o we_o shall_v believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o in_o profession_n renounce_v our_o former_a sin_n according_a to_o that_o of_o st._n philip_n to_o the_o eunuch_n act_v viij_o 37._o if_o thou_o believe_v with_o all_o thy_o heart_n thou_o may_v be_v baptize_v and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v true_a too_o that_o our_o be_v put_v into_o a_o justify_v state_n by_o baptism_n will_v in_o the_o event_n be_v no_o advantage_n to_o we_o but_o rather_o only_o increase_v our_o condemnation_n unless_o afterward_o we_o continue_v true_a and_o faithful_a to_o that_o profession_n which_o we_o then_o take_v upon_o we_o and_o be_v careful_a to_o perform_v our_o part_n of_o that_o covenant_n which_o we_o then_o enter_v into_o with_o god_n now_o i_o say_v this_o last_o seem_v to_o be_v what_o n-ab_n james_n affirm_v and_o the_o first_o all_o that_o st._n paul_n teach_v at_o least_o in_o many_o of_o those_o place_n where_o he_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n for_o that_o by_o the_o justification_n which_o st._n james_n speak_v of_o when_o he_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o he_o mean_v our_o final_a justification_n at_o the_o great_a day_n upon_o which_o that_o salvation_n will_v immediate_o be_v bestow_v upon_o we_o which_o at_o our_o baptism_n be_v only_o promise_v and_o assure_v to_o we_o upon_o certain_a condition_n be_v evident_a by_o his_o use_v justification_n and_o salvation_n in_o this_o dispute_n as_o term_n equivalent_a for_o thus_o he_o express_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o text_n in_o the_o 14_o verse_n where_o he_o first_o begin_v to_o handle_v the_o subject_a what_o do_v it_o profit_n my_o brethren_n if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v faith_n and_o have_v not_o work_n can_v faith_n save_v he_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o mean_v the_o same_o thing_n there_o by_o be_v save_v that_o do_v in_o the_o text_n and_o other_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n by_o be_v justify_v and_o consequent_o that_o by_o justification_n in_o this_o discourse_n of_o his_o concern_v faith_n and_o work_n he_o mean_v that_o final_a justification_n upon_o which_o salvation_n be_v immediate_o consequent_a and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o st._n paul_n in_o very_a many_o at_o least_o if_o not_o in_o all_o those_o place_n wherein_o he_o attribute_n justification_n to_o faith_n only_o without_o work_n mean_v therefore_o only_o our_o first_o justification_n that_o be_v our_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o be_v put_v into_o a_o justify_v state_n by_o baptism_n will_n i_o suppose_v be_v no_o less_o evident_a if_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v consider_v 1._o that_o in_o many_o place_n he_o speak_v of_o justification_n as_o a_o thing_n past_a which_o he_o can_v not_o do_v if_o he_o have_v mean_v the_o same_o thing_n by_o justification_n that_o st._n james_n do_v for_o thus_o write_v to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o say_v 1_o cor._n vi_o 11_o you_o be_v or_o you_o have_v be_v justify_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o rom._n vi_fw-la 1._o speak_v of_o himself_o and_o other_o christian_n that_o be_v then_o live_v and_o consequent_o not_o final_o justify_v in_o st._n james_n use_n of_o the_o word_n he_o say_v that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n they_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o upon_o this_o he_o ground_n their_o hope_n that_o they_o shall_v also_o if_o they_o continue_v in_o faith_n be_v final_o justify_v by_o god_n at_o the_o last_o day_n ver_fw-la 9_o for_o if_o while_o we_o be_v sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o much_o more_o then_o be_v now_o justify_v by_o his_o blood_n we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o wrath_n through_o he_o 2._o it_o may_v be_v also_o further_o observe_v that_o in_o many_o place_n he_o express_o join_v justification_n with_o baptism_n as_o a_o effect_n or_o concomitant_a of_o it_o as_o in_o tit._n iii._o 5_o 7._o not_o by_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o being_n justify_v by_o his_o grace_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v heir_n according_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o in_o 1_o cor._n vi_o 11._o such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o but_o you_o be_v wash_v but_o you_o be_v sanctify_v but_o you_o be_v justify_v they_o be_v justify_v it_o seem_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o they_o be_v wash_v that_o be_v at_o their_o baptism_n when_o they_o open_o and_o solemn_o renounce_v those_o wicked_a work_n which_o they_o have_v former_o live_v in_o and_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n now_o therefore_o if_o this_o be_v grant_v which_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o st._n paul_n general_o mean_v this_o by_o justification_n viz._n only_o our_o be_v admit_v into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n at_o our_o baptism_n in_o which_o state_n if_o we_o continue_v by_o persevere_v in_o faith_n and_o obedience_n we_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v justify_v and_o acquit_v final_o in_o the_o great_a judgement_n it_o
