that_o holiness_n belong_v to_o sanctification_n than_o those_o that_o do_v thus_o calumniate_v they_o and_o very_o often_o they_o who_o talk_v most_o of_o be_v justify_v by_o good_a work_n have_v lest_o of_o they_o to_o show_v it_o be_v i_o know_v the_o business_n of_o the_o papist_n to_o confound_v the_o notion_n of_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n to_o make_v way_n for_o their_o justification_n by_o inherent_a righteousness_n that_o be_v if_o they_o will_v speak_v out_o by_o holiness_n for_o what_o else_o be_v inherent_a righteousness_n now_o that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o holiness_n no_o man_n deny_v but_o be_v it_o by_o holiness_n therefore_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v or_o be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v justification_n and_o sanctification_n all_o one_o and_o true_o the_o papist_n have_v some_o reason_n so_o to_o do_v for_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n by_o which_o they_o get_v money_n as_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o indulgence_n and_o popish_a pardon_n upon_o purchase_v out_o of_o the_o pope_n treasury_n somewhat_o of_o the_o merit_n of_o other_o man_n who_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v have_v enough_o and_o to_o spare_v for_o those_o who_o have_v none_o of_o their_o own_o but_o why_o any_o of_o we_o shall_v be_v fond_a of_o that_o doctrine_n who_o have_v no_o such_o bargain_n to_o drive_v and_o that_o direct_o against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o own_o church_n i_o do_v not_o see_v and_o indeed_o the_o papist_n themselves_o how_o much_o soever_o they_o talk_v of_o the_o necessity_n of_o good_a work_n for_o justification_n do_v rather_o hold_v there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o they_o at_o all_o either_o to_o justification_n or_o salvation_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o wicked_a and_o devoid_a of_o holiness_n and_o good_a work_n but_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o priest_n absolution_n or_o at_o lest_o by_o the_o pope_n indulgence_n he_o may_v go_v direct_o to_o heaven_n without_o any_o thing_n of_o holiness_n of_o goodwork_n other_o than_o give_v money_n to_o a_o priest_n by_o their_o doctrine_n without_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v at_o purgatory_n by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v but_o by_o way_n of_o commutation_n pay_v so_o much_o money_n in_o stead_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o good_a life_n and_o all_o be_v safe_a however_o since_o it_o be_v among_o we_o agree_v on_o all_o hand_n for_o i_o know_v of_o no_o protestant_n that_o doubt_v it_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o holiness_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o good_a work_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n if_o not_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o justification_n at_o lest_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o sanctification_n let_v we_o all_o make_v it_o our_o business_n to_o be_v fruitful_a therein_o 6.22_o and_o if_o we_o can_v agree_v upon_o the_o punctilio_fw-la on_o what_o account_v it_o be_v necessary_a let_v we_o at_o least_o agree_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v approve_v ourselves_o to_o god_n

towards_o the_o completion_n of_o that_o happiness_n which_o the_o text_n promise_v that_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v brief_o run_v over_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o text_n with_o some_o consequent_n thereof_o according_a to_o the_o two_o empase_n already_o mention_v there_o be_v a_o three_o to_o be_v after_o mention_v but_o before_o i_o leave_v these_o and_o come_v to_o it_o i_o shall_v further_o amplify_v by_o way_n of_o application_n on_o each_o of_o they_o and_o first_o as_o to_o that_o emphasis_n on_o the_o word_n just_o the_o just_a shall_v

be_v benefit_n we_o must_v make_v sure_a of_o the_o qualification_n that_o we_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a person_n where_o also_o we_o be_v not_o to_o consider_v the_o word_n just_o in_o a_o

not_o to_o trust_v in_o they_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part._n as_o to_o justification_n she_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o 11_o the_o article_n justification_n

of_o the_o law_n because_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n that_o although_o this_o justification_n be_v free_a to_o we_o yet_o it_o come_v not_o so_o

without_o justice_n or_o payment_n of_o a_o just_a ransom_n and_o whereas_o it_o lay_v not_o in_o we_o that_o to_o do_v he_o provide_v a_o ransom_n for_o we_o that_o be_v the_o most_o precious_a

the_o same_o purpose_n show_v that_o christ_n alone_o have_v pay_v the_o whole_a ransom_n and_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n and_o that_o our_o righteousness_n or_o good_a work_n come_v not_o in_o for_o any_o share_n or_o part_n thereof_o as_o if_o by_o they_o we_o shall_v at_o lest_o in_o part_n be_v justify_v this_o doctrine_n i_o know_v be_v not_o please_v to_o the_o

order_n to_o the_o deny_v of_o his_o divinity_n they_o deny_v his_o satisfaction_n too_o nor_o to_o the_o papist_n for_o though_o they_o allow_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o justice_n yet_o they_o will_v

to_o maintain_v purgatory_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o depart_v from_o the_o language_n of_o our_o own_o church_n now_o to_o make_v this_o the_o more_o clear_a our_o church_n observe_v further_a that_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o must_v go_v together_o in_o our_o justification_n upon_o god_n part_n his_o great_a mercy_n and_o grace_n upon_o christ_n part_n justice_z that_o be_v the_o

and_o upon_o our_o part_n true_a and_o lively_a faith_n in_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o we_o but_o by_o god_n work_v in_o we_o so_o that_o in_o our_o justification_n be_v not_o only_a god_n mercy_n and_o grace_n but_o his_o justice_n also_o which_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o it_o consist_v in_o pay_v the_o ransom_n and_o fulfil_n the_o
