above_o all_o thing_n plead_v the_o necessity_n and_o alone_a sufficiency_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o justification_n but_o to_o restore_v your_o word_n to_o their_o own_o channel_n you_o say_v that_o since_o all_o must_v be_v condemn_v if_o god_n enter_v into_o judgement_n therefore_o god_n give_v his_o son_n unto_o the_o death_n for_o we_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v obtain_v salvation_n and_o though_o by_o this_o passage_n it_o be_v clear_o enough_o import_v that_o it_o be_v before_o god_n and_o by_o the_o sentence_n of_o his_o law_n that_o all_o man_n stand_v condemn_v and_o that_o therefore_o he_o have_v give_v his_o son_n who_o death_n and_o blood_n be_v the_o propitiation_n and_o in_o who_o he_o be_v well_o please_v to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o liberation_n and_o acceptation_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o whereby_o justification_n by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n without_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n be_v in_o substance_n grant_v yet_o for_o usher_v in_o your_o good_a work_n to_o share_v with_o faith_n in_o justification_n by_o a_o strange_a connexion_n you_o subjoin_v and_o all_o judgement_n be_v commit_v by_o the_o father_n to_o the_o son_n and_o jesus_n christ_n have_v propose_v life_n through_o his_o death_n to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v his_o gospel_n and_o live_v according_a to_o it_o but_o i_o must_v take_v notice_n 1._o that_o by_o lay_v down_o the_o commission_n of_o judgement_n give_v to_o the_o son_n as_o a_o ground_n to_o his_o propose_v of_o the_o gospel_n offer_v you_o manifest_o repugn_v to_o our_o lord_n own_o word_n and_o testimony_n express_o distinguish_v the_o character_n of_o his_o first_o come_n which_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o minister_v not_o to_o be_v minister_v unto_o and_o by_o perform_v the_o father_n commandment_n to_o save_v the_o world_n and_o not_o to_o judge_v it_o from_o that_o of_o his_o second_o come_v which_o shall_v be_v with_o power_n and_o great_a glory_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o all_o that_o look_v for_o he_o and_o to_o judge_v and_o to_o execute_v judgement_n upon_o all_o that_o be_v ungodly_a 2._o by_o make_v our_o lord_n commission_n to_o judge_v antecedent_n to_o his_o ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o invert_v truth_n and_o plain_a scripture-evidence_n whereby_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o our_o lord_n be_v first_o send_v into_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o sinner_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o then_o because_o of_o his_o complete_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n be_v exalt_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o thing_n unto_o the_o church_n and_o have_v authority_n also_o to_o execute_v judgement_n commit_v to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man._n but._n 3._o by_o this_o your_o doctrine_n you_o in_o effect_n subvert_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o as_o much_o as_o in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o gospel-covenant_n offer_v pardon_n and_o peace_n to_o poor_a lose_a sinner_n through_o christ_n jesus_n and_o with_o and_o in_o he_o all_o grace_n and_o glory_n you_o introduce_v our_o lord_n as_o have_v by_o his_o death_n indeed_o merit_v the_o privilege_n of_o a_o new_a offer_n of_o life_n unto_o sinner_n but_o make_v and_o renew_v the_o same_o in_o no_o better_a term_n than_o these_o of_o the_o law-covenant_n for_o as_o the_o law_n say_v that_o the_o man_n that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v by_o they_o so_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel-tend_a be_v to_o receive_v the_o same_o and_o live_v according_a to_o it_o now_o if_o the_o law_n do_v offer_v life_n to_o such_o as_o receive_v and_o live_v according_a to_o it_o and_o our_o lord_n proposal_n stand_v in_o the_o like_a term_n admit_v the_o proposer_n not_o to_o be_v the_o same_o yet_o the_o proposal_n be_v certain_o coincident_a and_o therefore_o although_o the_o eternal_a transaction_n betwixt_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n may_v be_v of_o grace_n yet_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o in_o your_o opinion_n the_o tender_v of_o the_o law_n and_o gospel_n as_o to_o us-ward_n do_v run_v in_o the_o same_o tenor_n and_o the_o condescendence_n of_o both_o prerequire_v our_o work_n be_v equal_o to_o be_v reckon_v of_o debt_n these_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o that_o gospel-method_n by_o you_o here_o contrive_v and_o its_o design_n no_o less_o evident_a to_o make_v work_n with_o say_v the_o condition_n and_o procure_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n at_o least_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o judge_n appoint_v i_o add_v 1._o that_o your_o attribute_v of_o justification_n to_o christ_n as_o judge_v ordain_v over_o all_o in_o the_o last_o judgement_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v one_o god_n that_o justify_v it_o be_v christ_n that_o die_v mark_v the_o distinction_n make_v and_o no_o doubt_n reason_n itself_o inform_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n and_o lawgiver_n and_o not_o the_o judge_n which_o define_v duty_n determine_v pain_n and_o condemn_v the_o transgressor_n poenae_fw-la enim_fw-la persecution_n non_fw-la judicis_fw-la voluntati_fw-la mandatur_fw-la sed_fw-la legis_fw-la authoritati_fw-la reservatur_fw-la it_o do_v also_o confirm_v that_o it_o appertain_v unto_o god_n only_o as_o the_o lawgiver_n to_o remit_v the_o punishment_n incur_v and_o accept_v and_o justify_v sinner_n upon_o a_o aequipollent_a satisfaction_n 2._o the_o authority_n to_o execute_v judgement_n be_v give_v to_o our_o lord_n as_o the_o mediator_n and_o because_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n in_o which_o respect_n he_o be_v not_o the_o principal_a author_n and_o efficient_a but_o only_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n not_o the_o very_a act_n but_o only_o the_o solemn_a declaration_n thereof_o can_v be_v ascrive_v to_o he_o in_o this_o capacity_n unless_o you_o can_v conceive_v that_o our_o lord_n be_v not_o only_o both_o the_o ransom_n and_o the_o accepter_n thereof_o but_o that_o by_o become_v the_o propitiation_n he_o also_o become_v the_o party_n to_o be_v appease_v which_o be_v palpable_o inconsistent_a 3._o the_o plain_a scripture-truth_n in_o this_o point_n be_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v complete_o obey_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffer_v be_v therefore_o high_o exalt_v above_o every_o name_n and_o have_v all_o power_n and_o judgement_n commit_v to_o he_o whereby_o as_o he_o do_v here_o in_o time_n enrich_v with_o all_o grace_n guide_v support_v and_o preserve_v all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o also_o over-rule_v restrain_v and_o punish_v all_o his_o and_o their_o adversary_n so_o shall_v he_o in_o the_o last_o day_n appear_v first_o to_o receive_v and_o welcome_v all_o his_o redeem_a one_o former_o justify_v by_o his_o righteousness_n and_o sanctify_v by_o his_o grace_n unto_o his_o father_n joy_n and_o then_o with_o they_o to_o judge_v the_o reprobate_n and_o take_v vengeance_n on_o all_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o justification_n proceed_v from_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n and_o necessary_o precede_v both_o our_o sanctification_n here_o and_o glorification_n in_o the_o last_o day_n can_v be_v refer_v unto_o that_o judgement_n which_o be_v only_o declarative_a and_o executive_a according_a to_o these_o word_n come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n nor_o explicate_v according_a to_o its_o scheme_n and_o therefore_o although_o our_o lord_n do_v therein_o for_o our_o encouragement_n in_o well_o do_v and_o the_o commendation_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o bounty_n make_v mention_n of_o our_o good_a work_n and_o shall_v certain_o in_o that_o day_n also_o crown_v his_o own_o free_a grace_n in_o we_o with_o a_o reward_n yet_o thence_o to_o infer_v that_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n and_o in_o order_n to_o his_o holy_a justice_n have_v for_o its_o alone_a cause_n the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o import_v in_o the_o compellation_n you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n be_v found_v on_o our_o weak_a love_n and_o scant_a charity_n which_o even_o the_o righteous_a in_o that_o day_n seem_v ashamed_a to_o own_o be_v both_o a_o groundless_a error_n and_o high_a presumption_n but_o i_o proceed_v to_o your_o next_o word_n viz._n that_o christ_n jesus_n have_v propose_v life_n through_o his_o death_n to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v his_o gospel_n and_o live_v according_a to_o it_o that_o this_o be_v a_o manifest_a perversion_n of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n whereby_o our_o lord_n jesus_n do_v free_o hold_v out_o himself_o unto_o we_o not_o only_o for_o to_o be_v our_o righteousness_n for_o justification_n but_o also_o our_o sanctification_n through_o his_o spirit_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o
god_n as_o the_o great_a judge_n attemper_v justice_n with_o mercy_n do_v thereby_o accept_v of_o a_o ransom_n and_o surety_n offer_v and_o therefore_o absolve_v yea_o justify_v the_o criminal_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o of_o the_o evident_a scripture_n testimony_n that_o show_v the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n to_o be_v in_o very_a deed_n this_o ransom_n and_o surety_n and_o faith_n only_o its_o instrumental_a application_n to_o join_v good_a work_n with_o it_o and_o state_n both_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n be_v not_o only_o reprove_v by_o the_o papist_n their_o more_o consequent_a explication_n who_o because_o they_o admit_v of_o work_n in_o justification_n do_v therefore_o hold_v it_o not_o to_o be_v a_o judicial_a act_n but_o rather_o a_o gracious_a work_n but_o by_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o all_o man_n in_o these_o similare_fw-la instance_n from_o which_o the_o manner_n of_o explain_v these_o thing_n be_v borrow_v if_o in_o our_o ordinary_a court_n the_o law_n be_v transgress_v and_o the_o transgressor_n convict_v the_o pronounce_v of_o the_o doom_n of_o judgement_n and_o its_o execution_n be_v stop_v by_o the_o interposition_n of_o a_o ransom_n and_o surety_n offer_v so_o full_o satisfy_v and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o judge_n that_o for_o his_o sake_n the_o poor_a criminal_a be_v both_o pardon_v and_o receive_v to_o special_a favour_n will_v any_o rational_a man_n say_v that_o the_o person_n guilty_a be_v thus_o absolve_v and_o justify_v either_o for_o his_o act_n of_o lay_v claim_n to_o the_o price_n and_o pledge_v as_o a_o condition_n see_v it_o be_v only_o the_o moral_a instrument_n whereby_o the_o true_a motive_n of_o the_o ransomer_n satisfaction_n be_v apply_v or_o yet_o for_o the_o act_n itself_o together_o with_o the_o absolve_v person_n his_o consequent_a good_a behaviour_n which_o be_v the_o parallel_n of_o your_o interpretation_n which_o be_v yet_o more_o absurd_a and_o not_o rather_o affirm_v plain_o that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o ransom_n and_o surety_n only_o that_o the_o man_n be_v acquit_v and_o accept_v certain_o common_a ingenuity_n which_o must_v acknowledge_v all_o the_o defect_n of_o this_o similitude_n to_o be_v the_o manifest_a advantage_n of_o the_o point_n principal_o press_v will_v both_o cede_fw-la to_o the_o conviction_n of_o its_o evidence_n and_o transfer_v it_o plain_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n have_v thus_o set_v down_o a_o scriptural_a and_o easy_a account_n of_o this_o important_a truth_n which_o reflect_v upon_o almost_o all_o protestant_n divine_n with_o who_o in_o this_o we_o agree_v and_o wander_v in_o your_o ravery_n after_o no_o better_a guide_n than_o patrick_n the_o pilgrim_n you_o say_v be_v by_o we_o handle_v with_o much_o niceness_n and_o subtlety_n for_o it_o be_v further_o clear_v and_o the_o better_a discovery_n of_o your_o vanity_n i_o shall_v now_o examine_v your_o discourse_n in_o its_o particular_n and_o 1._o you_o say_v justification_n and_o condemnation_n be_v two_o opposite_a legal_a term_n by_o legal_a i_o know_v you_o mean_v judicial_a and_o therefore_o in_o place_n of_o urge_v your_o mistake_n i_o serious_o wish_v that_o the_o tenor_n of_o what_o ensue_v have_v be_v consistent_a to_o so_o true_a and_o solid_a a_o ground_n but_o you_o add_v that_o they_o relate_v to_o the_o judgement_n shall_v be_v give_v out_o at_o the_o last_o day_n a_o strange_a fetch_n to_o compass_v a_o false_a design_n i_o may_v remember_v you_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v express_v that_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o there_o be_v now_o therefore_o no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o by_o their_o assure_a partake_v of_o his_o grace_n and_o in_o consequence_n of_o their_o true_a faith_n in_o he_o and_o justification_n therethrough_a walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o thence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o as_o it_o be_v god_n that_o judge_v so_o it_o be_v by_o a_o act_n of_o his_o free_a grace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n antecedent_n to_o the_o last_o judgement_n that_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o justify_v in_o his_o sight_n but_o your_o own_o word_n viz._n for_o though_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v now_o justify_v as_o the_o unbelieved_a be_v say_v to_o be_v condemn_v already_o this_o be_v only_o that_o we_o be_v now_o in_o the_o state_n of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v solemn_o justify_v or_o condemn_v do_v sufficient_o reprove_v you_o because_o 1._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o unbelieved_n be_v not_o improper_o and_o with_o respect_n only_o to_o that_o future_a judgement_n say_v to_o be_v condemn_v already_o but_o as_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n judgement_n be_v already_o come_v upon_o all_o unto_o condemnation_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o the_o son_n shall_v not_o see_v life_n be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o he_o so_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o now_o it_o be_v that_o they_o stand_v true_o under_o the_o condemn_a power_n and_o sentence_n of_o god_n holy_a law_n from_o which_o it_o be_v most_o unquestionable_a that_o condemnation_n do_v direct_o proceed_v against_o all_o transgressor_n however_o in_o the_o forbearance_n of_o god_n they_o be_v not_o only_o for_o a_o time_n reprive_v but_o place_n leave_v for_o a_o ransom_n 2._o to_o be_v justify_v free_o through_o grace_n do_v plain_o import_v the_o person_n justify_v to_o be_v antecedent_o under_o condemnation_n if_o by_o the_o offence_n judgement_n have_v not_o come_v upon_o all_o to_o condemnation_n there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o justification_n of_o life_n how_o then_o can_v the_o opposite_a instance_n of_o condemnation_n be_v by_o your_o refer_v unto_o the_o last_o day_n far_o less_o make_v a_o argument_n to_o defer_v until_o that_o judgement_n our_o justification_n which_o of_o necessity_n do_v presuppose_v it_o certain_o you_o can_v but_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v most_o absurd_a to_o think_v that_o believer_n shall_v in_o that_o day_n be_v first_o condemn_v and_o thereafter_o justify_v 3._o when_o you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o that_o day_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v solemn_o justify_v or_o condemn_v you_o clear_o resolve_v the_o matter_n viz._n that_o as_o the_o solemnity_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o that_o day_n shall_v be_v only_o declarative_a and_o final_o executive_a so_o it_o evident_o conclude_v that_o the_o judgement_n then_o to_o be_v pronounce_v be_v give_v and_o establish_v of_o before_o pray_v sir_n do_v you_o think_v the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a be_v not_o as_o yet_o justify_v but_o 4._o you_o grant_v that_o we_o be_v now_o in_o the_o state_n of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v solemny_o justify_v or_o condemn_v which_o clear_o show_v your_o insinuation_n premise_v to_o be_v only_o a_o design_n to_o obscure_v by_o word_n without_o knowledge_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o question_n remain_v the_o same_o anent_o this_o state_n and_o how_o we_o now_o attain_v to_o it_o as_o anent_o the_o justification_n which_o you_o will_v defer_v and_o 1._o what_o be_v the_o state_n of_o justification_n be_v it_o not_o that_o we_o who_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o alien_n be_v accept_v unto_o favour_n pardon_v and_o bring_v near_o wherein_o do_v it_o then_o differ_v from_o actual_a justification_n 2._o how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o attain_v to_o this_o state_n sure_o not_o by_o work_n either_o alone_a or_o in_o conjunction_n with_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v hear_v from_o scripture_n and_o shall_v be_v further_o evince_v but_o if_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n alone_o as_o the_o instrument_n lay_v hold_n on_o the_o sole_a meritorious_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n our_o difference_n be_v only_o verbal_a wherein_o you_o foolish_o resile_v from_o scripture_n phrase_n if_o you_o shall_v further_o add_v that_o by_o faith_n we_o do_v indeed_o attain_v to_o this_o state_n but_o only_o inchoat_o or_o unfix_o and_o changeable_o than_o you_o evident_o impinge_a both_o upon_o the_o perfection_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o the_o fair_a and_o certain_a ground_n of_o the_o saint_n their_o perseverance_n it_o follow_v in_o your_o
