A96866	Justification by faith: or, a confutation of that antinomian error, that justification is before faith; being the sum & substance of a sermon / preached at Sarum; by Benjamin Woodbridge, minister of Newberry in Barkshire.

promise_v in_o scripture_n peradventure_o they_o may_v grant_v that_o justification_n in_o this_o or_o that_o place_n be_v mean_v of_o justification_n before_o god_n but_o their_o grant_n do_v neither_o make_v nor_o mar_v if_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o text_n do_v not_o compel_v and_o convince_v the_o understanding_n have_v thus_o clear_v the_o coast_n of_o this_o exception_n which_o for_o aught_o i_o can_v see_v be_v the_o only_a obstruction_n in_o the_o way_n i_o pass_v on_o to_o propound_v some_o argument_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o not_o before_o the_o first_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o justification_n which_o be_v a_o absolution_n of_o a_o sinner_n from_o condemnation_n by_o that_o gracious_a sentence_n and_o signal_n promise_v in_o the_o gospel_n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v not_o enter_v into_o condemnation_n we_o be_v not_o to_o conceive_v of_o justification_n as_o a_o internal_a immanent_a act_n of_o god_n resolve_v private_o in_o his_o own_o breast_n not_o to_o prosecute_v his_o right_n against_o a_o sinner_n but_o it_o must_v be_v some_o declare_v promulged_a act_n which_o may_v be_v our_o legal_a discharge_n from_o the_o accusation_n &_o condemnation_n of_o the_o law_n for_o as_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n rom._n 5._o 13._o so_o neither_o be_v righteousness_n impute_v without_o law_n and_o as_o our_o condemnation_n be_v no_o secret_a act_n or_o resolution_n of_o god_n to_o condemn_v but_o the_o very_a voice_n and_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n curse_v be_v he_o that_o sin_v and_o therefore_o he_o who_o god_n in_o his_o eternal_a decree_n have_v purpose_v to_o save_v may_v yet_o for_o the_o present_a be_v under_o the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n as_o the_o ephesian_n who_o god_n have_v choose_v to_o eternal_a life_n eph._n 1._o 4._o be_v yet_o sometime_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n chap._n 2._o 3._o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a our_o justification_n must_v be_v some_o declare_v promulged_a act_n or_o sentence_n of_o god_n which_o may_v stand_v good_a in_o law_n for_o the_o discharge_n of_o the_o sinner_n from_o condemnation_n indeed_o to_o our_o private_a forgiveness_n one_o of_o another_o it_o be_v mere_o a_o act_n of_o charity_n there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v than_o a_o resolution_n within_o ourselves_o to_o lay_v aside_o our_o thought_n of_o revenge_n and_o not_o to_o prosecute_v our_o right_n against_o he_o that_o have_v injure_v we_o but_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o a_o magistrate_n be_v a_o act_n of_o authority_n must_v be_v by_o some_o formal_a act_n of_o oblivion_n by_o which_o all_o former_a act_n and_o order_n against_o delinquent_n may_v be_v invalidate_v a_o vote_n in_o the_o house_n or_o a_o declaration_n that_o such_o a_o act_n shall_v come_v forth_o be_v no_o legal_a security_n to_o a_o delinquent_n so_o then_o god_n forgiveness_n be_v a_o act_n of_o authority_n must_v neither_o be_v a_o hide_a secret_a purpose_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n nor_o a_o mere_a promise_n or_o declaration_n of_o a_o act_n of_o pardon_n that_o shall_v be_v make_v

formal_a act_n of_o pardon_n can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v which_o be_v sometime_o call_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n
