A96867	The method of grace in the justification of sinners. Being a reply to a book written by Mr. William Eyre of Salisbury: entituled, Vindiciæ justificationis gratuitæ, or the free justification of a sinner justified. Wherein the doctrine contained in the said book, is proved to be subversive both of law and Gospel, contrary to the consent of Protestants. And inconsistent with it self. And the ancient apostolick Protestant doctrine of justification by faith asserted. By Benjamin Woodbridge minister of Newbery.

that_o proper_o which_o hinder_v reconciliation_n but_o the_o sinner_n inability_n to_o make_v satisfaction_n can_v he_o have_v satisfy_v sin_n can_v have_v have_v no_o power_n to_o have_v keep_v he_o at_o a_o distance_n from_o god_n and_o so_o i_o perceive_v do_v mr._n eyre_n mean_v by_o his_o explication_n god_n say_v he_o have_v make_v a_o law_n that_o the_o soul_n which_o sin_n shall_v die_v

therefore_o the_o answer_n be_v ready_a if_o satisfaction_n be_v make_v so_o which_o it_o be_v not_o as_o that_o the_o law_n have_v be_v answer_v in_o the_o very_a thing_n which_o it_o require_v viz._n the_o sinner_n punishment_n than_o i_o will_v yield_v it_o whole_o and_o more_o than_o mr._n eyre_n will_v thank_v i_o for_o namely_o that_o life_n be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o very_a same_o

therefore_o as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n when_o the_o cloud_n be_v dissolve_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o immediate_a reconciliation_n between_o god_n and_o sinner_n upon_o the_o
