A50426	St. Paul's travailing pangs, with his legal-Galatians, or, A treatise of justification wherein these two dissertions are chiefly evinced viz. 1. That justification is not by the law, but by faith, 2. That yet men are generally prone to seek justification by the law : together with several characters assigned of a legal and evangical spirit : to which is added (by way of appendix) the manner of transferring justification from the law to faith / by Zach.

have_v have_v from_o god_n at_o time_n of_o further_a discovery_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o this_o reason_n because_o of_o transgression_n you_o

this_o we_o see_v by_o the_o event_n for_o that_o notwithstanding_o this_o law_n yet_o when_o they_o come_v among_o other_o nation_n they_o run_v into_o their_o abomination_n though_o they_o have_v

this_o manner_n of_o its_o delivery_n with_o dread_n and_o terror_n consist_v of_o two_o thing_n 1._o law_n wherein_o consist_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n that_o it_o be_v deliver_v with_o

it_o be_v now_o high_a time_n and_o yet_o in_o this_o place_n seasonable_a enough_o to_o answer_v some_o other_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n which_o i_o propose_v at_o large_a some_o page_n since_o

for_o all_o other_o man_n have_v it_o so_o write_v and_o i_o can_v think_v that_o adam_n alone_o want_v this_o excellency_n of_o all_o mankind_n neither_o do_v i_o think_v that_o he_o get_v this_o

to_o put_v his_o disciple_n upon_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v for_o justification_n there_o be_v many_o other_o place_n in_o moses_n especial_o in_o the_o book_n of_o deut._n that_o have_v much_o

that_o the_o law_n of_o our_o creation_n be_v natural_o a_o covenat_n of_o work_n faith_n the_o objection_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o gentile_n against_o justification_n by_o faith_n and_o that_o the_o

can_v not_o be_v justify_v at_o all_o or_o they_o must_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n i_o answer_v 1._o all_o be_v not_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o heathen_n be_v in_o a_o justifiable_a

can_v be_v make_v appear_v that_o the_o heathen_n without_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o scripture_n ture_n of_o the_o old-testament_n can_v not_o discover_v so_o much_o of_o the_o goodness_n

the_o way_n of_o believe_v for_o that_o the_o law_n be_v render_v utter_o weak_a and_o unable_a to_o ●ustifie_v so_o much_o as_o one_o sinner_n now_o because_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o convenient_a in_o this_o place_n to_o engage_v in_o that_o controversy_n whether_o or_o no_o the_o gentile_n be_v in_o a_o salvable_a condition_n i_o shall_v neither_o produce_v the_o scripture_n which_o seem_v to_o prove_v they_o have_v sufficient_a gospel-light_n to_o produce_v faith_n which_o they_o must_v have_v if_o they_o be_v save_v nor_o the_o other_o which_o will_v seem_v to_o prove_v that_o they_o have_v no_o such_o light_n now_o to_o conclude_v this_o first_o part_n have_v prove_v it_o ex_fw-la hypothesi_fw-la on_o the_o gentile_n part_n that_o if_o any_o of_o they_o be_v save_v it_o must_v be_v by_o faith_n and_o absolute_o as_o to_o the_o jew_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o objection_n to_o the_o contrary_a that_o they_o be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o the_o law_n

now_o this_o be_v the_o great_a mean_n of_o transfer_v justification_n from_o the_o law_n to_o faith_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a insist_v upon_o the_o explication_n of_o it_o that_o which_o i_o have_v

that_o it_o have_v to_o say_v against_o we_o and_o whereas_o it_o be_v a_o kill_a letter_n he_o take_v out_o this_o condemn_a power_n of_o it_o for_o all_o believer_n 2._o that_o this_o be_v do_v by_o

else_o in_o some_o way_n or_o other_o religious_a as_o for_o those_o that_o be_v profane_a and_o atheistical_a i_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o they_o in_o this_o discourse_n for_o that_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o justification_n who_o make_v no_o pursuit_n after_o it_o at_o all_o the_o second_o observation_n that_o i_o will_v premise_v be_v this_o that_o as_o for_o the_o

of_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n and_o hence_o i_o will_v infer_v that_o wherever_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n any_o two_o way_n of_o serve_v god_n that_o have_v follower_n and_o abettor_n be_v two_o opposite_a way_n whereof_o one_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a the_o other_o evil_a and_o displease_v to_o god_n there_o be_v these_o two_o way_n of_o legal_a and_o evangelical_n service_n
