A86586	An exercitation concerning the nature of forgivenesse of sin. Very necessary (as the author humbly conceiveth) to a right informaion [sic], and well grounded decision of sundry controversal points in divinity now depending. Directly intended as an antidote for preventing the danger of antinomian doctrine. And consequently subservient for promoting the true faith of Christ and fear of God, in a godly righteous, and sober life. / By Thomas Hotchkis, Master of Arts of C.C.C.C. and minister of Gods word at Stanton by Highworth in the county of Wilts. To which is prefixed Mr. Richard Baxters preface.	Hotchkis, Thomas.; Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1654 (1654)	Wing H2891; Thomason E1518_1; Thomason E1632_1; ESTC R208563	133,342	405

we_o minister_n nevertheless_o i_o shall_v not_o go_v about_o at_o this_o time_n to_o enumerate_v all_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o but_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o name_n only_o this_o

the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v perfection_n of_o obedience_n or_o the_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v faith_n in_o

so_o be_v we_o to_o perform_v the_o latter_a condition_n or_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o latter_a covenant_n for_o life_n also_o shall_v we_o go_v about_o to_o set_v up_o the_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o salvation_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n work_n for_o salvation_n this_o indeed_o be_v legal_a work_n and_o to_o work_v as_o legalist_n or_o shall_v we_o expect_v salvation_n as_o merit_a wage_n for_o our_o work_n this_o be_v to_o work_v legal_o but_o to_o labour_v by_o his_o strength_n to_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o believe_v repent_v to_o return_v unto_o and_o to_o keep_v with_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o new_a obedience_n that_o so_o we_o may_v live_v and_o to_o expect_v from_o god_n free_a grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v live_v this_o be_v to_o work_v as_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n object_n but_o be_v it_o not_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v people_n trust_v unto_o or_o to_o rest_v in_o their_o own_o good_a work_n or_o duty_n to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o may_v do_v they_o for_o salvation_n answ_n 1._o i_o

to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v any_o good_a duty_n for_o salvation_n as_o this_o latter_a be_v a_o thing_n unlawful_a so_o the_o former_a be_v a_o thing_n i_o be_o well_o

upon_o 2._o more_o particular_o be_v it_o know_v 1._o that_o we_o may_v not_o trust_v unto_o or_o rest_n in_o they_o as_o our_o legal_a righteousness_n i._n e._n such_o as_o for_o which_o the_o law_n

2_o but_o in_o the_o second_o place_n be_v it_o know_v 1_o in_o general_n that_o because_o christ_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v rest_v upon_o for_o salvation_n in_o the_o foresay_a respect_n we_o have_v
