and_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v you_o 1._o i_o have_v in_o my_o book_n say_v somewhat_o to_o prove_v faith_n no_o instrument_n of_o justify_v and_o you_o say_v nothing_o against_o it_o why_o then_o shall_v i_o aim_v at_o this_o mark_n 2._o i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v there_o that_o faith_n justify_v primary_o and_o proper_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o but_o remote_o as_o a_o receive_a justification_n this_o which_o you_o call_v the_o instrumentality_n be_v but_o the_o very_a formal_a nature_n of_o the_o act_n and_o so_o the_o quasi_fw-la materia_fw-la or_o its_o aptitude_n to_o the_o office_n of_o justify_v and_o because_o i_o build_v much_o on_o this_o supposition_n i_o put_v it_o in_o the_o query_n which_o you_o judge_v impertinent_a 3._o yet_o if_o you_o will_v understand_v the_o word_n instrument_n laxe_o i_o have_v not_o any_o where_o deny_v faith_n to_o have_v such_o a_o instrumentality_n that_o be_v receive_v or_o apprehensiveness_n above_o other_o grace_n only_o i_o deny_v and_o most_o confident_o deny_v that_o that_o be_v the_o formal_a proper_a or_o near_a cause_n of_o faith_n justify_v but_o the_o formal_a reason_n be_v because_o god_n have_v make_v it_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n promise_v justification_n to_o such_o receive_n which_o else_o will_v have_v no_o more_o justify_v than_o any_o other_o act_n and_o therefore_o so_o far_o as_o other_o be_v make_v condition_n and_o the_o promise_n to_o we_o on_o they_o they_o must_v needs_o have_v some_o such_o use_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n and_o that_o they_o

the_o second_o of_o faith_n act_n be_v those_o that_o apprehend_v the_o benefit_n which_o he_o offer_v of_o which_o justification_n be_v one_o and_o this_o be_v strict_o the_o justify_v act_n of_o

which_o i_o can_v full_o close_v with_o but_o shall_v plain_o tell_v you_o what_o be_v my_o apprehension_n of_o it_o first_o you_o grant_v that_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o be_v

you_o add_v that_o another_o act_n even_o the_o receive_v of_o his_o righteousness_n be_v after_o necessary_a that_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v your_o reason_n seem_v to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o effect_n union_n go_v before_o justification_n therefore_o the_o unite_n act_n go_v before_o the_o justify_n act_n this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o deny_v my_o reason_n be_v these_o first_o scripture_n distinguish_v between_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o our_o justification_n but_o no_o where_o between_o the_o unite_n and_o justify_v act_n of_o faith_n second_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n require_v it_o not_o because_o faith_n justify_v not_o by_o a_o physical_a causality_n as_o fire_n warm_v i_o but_o by_o the_o moral_a interest_n of_o a_o condition_n and_o

one_o which_o you_o require_v six_o and_o the_o case_n be_v much_o different_a between_o physical_a and_o relative_n benefit_n for_o its_o true_a that_o when_o we_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n we_o may_v have_v after_o need_n of_o renew_a act_n of_o faith_n to_o actuate_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n inherent_a in_o we_o for_o here_o right_o be_v one_o thing_n and_o possession_n be_v

such_o distance_n of_o time_n between_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o justification_n
parity_n of_o reason_n christ_n as_o a_o ransom_n and_o meritor_n of_o justification_n be_v not_o the_o only_a object_n of_o the_o justify_v act_n of_o faith_n the_o antecedent_n of_o this_o

which_o we_o have_v right_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n to_o adoption_n and_o glorification_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o believe_v in_o christ_n as_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v the_o minor_a i_o suppose_v will_v not_o be_v deny_v i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v common_o grant_v the_o major_n i_o prove_v thus_o if_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n

and_o that_o repentance_n be_v not_o recipient_a how_o easy_o do_v i_o yield_v to_o you_o but_o do_v you_o indeed_o think_v that_o when_o paul_n exclude_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n that_o he_o
