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

of_o god_n constrain_v we_o answ_n here_o again_o i_o answer_v as_o before_z viz._n that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o oppose_v thing_n compatible_a and_o consistent_a such_o as_o be_v the_o love_n of_o

therefore_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o persuade_v man_n it_o be_v the_o very_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n both_o in_o that_o verse_n and_o in_o the_o forego_n verse_n to_o declare_v with_o what_o argument_n among_o other_o he_o be_v move_v or_o impel_v unto_o faithfulness_n in_o discharge_n of_o his_o ministry_n and_o apostleship_n which_o the_o false_a apostle_n in_o the_o

they_o not_o infer_v that_o precept_n promise_n exhortation_n their_o own_o vow_n and_o covenant_n be_v need_v note_n and_o useless_a also_o so_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o for_o

shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n answer_v this_o question_n with_o two_o or_o three_o other_o question_n 1_o be_v it_o not_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v people_n to_o cast_v off_o the_o do_n of_o all_o good_a duty_n and_o good_a work_n to_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o ought_v not_o need_v not_o to_o do_v they_o for_o salvation_n 2_o be_v not_o the_o danger_n as_o common_a and_o

not_o as_o ordinary_a for_o people_n to_o perish_v for_o barrenness_n as_o for_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n to_o themselves_o 3_o whether_o be_v it_o not_o fit_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o instruct_v people_n how_o far_o forth_o they_o may_v and_o how_o far_o forth_o they_o may_v not_o trust_v in_o and_o rest_n upon_o their_o own_o duty_n grace_n work_n or_o holiness_n for_o salvation_n then_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

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
