roare in (i) Luk. 3.17 Mark 9.43 44 46. flames of fire and in everlasting burnings Ph. I have joy and comfort in my spirit often from my performances and I know that God will heare my prayers that I make publickly and privately unto him J. Thou painted Sepulchre hast thou not read that the (k) Iob. 20.5 joy of an hypocrite is but for a moment and that an hypocrite shall not (l) Iob 13.16 come before God And dost thou not (m) Iob 15.4 restraine prayer before God and when thou prayest dost thou not doe it publickly to bee (n) Mat. 6.5 seen of men Ph. I pray in private also J. Then it is either when some (o) Esa 26.16 punishment is upon thee or else to quiet thy carnall conscience Ph. Mr. why dost thou reproach me in saying thus J. Thou dissembler that (p) Ioh. 5.44 seekest honour of men and not the honour which commeth from God thou art to expect nothing but shame and (q) Dan. 12.2 everlasting contempt Ph. Sir thou judgest rashly J. No as I heare I judge and my judgement is just and true Joh. 5.30 and 8.16.26 Ph. How knowest thou what I am that thou so judgest J. I am he that searcheth the heart and trieth the reines and I will give to every one of you according to your works Rev. 2.23 Ph. When thou judgest the world what difference wilt thou make between us that served God and the Heathens that served him not J. The difference will be this that your (r) Mat. 23.14 Mar. 12 40. Lu. 20.47 condemnation will be the greater because though ye knew God yet ye served him (s) Mat. 15.9 vainly falsely and (t) Esa 57.4 hypocritically Ph. Good Master I would escape this condemnation for I beleeve it will be great and thy words begin to terrifie mee already J. I have told thee already that there is no other way for thee to escape it but onely by me but yet thou dost not beleeve me Joh. 10.25 Ph. How wilt thou have me beleeve in thee J. First I will have thee see thy selfe to be the (v) 1 Tim. 1 15. greatest and vilest of sinners and then see all thy (u) Esa 64 6 owne righteousnesses services and performances to be as filthy and menstruous rags And after thou hast denied and (w) Eze. 36.31 abhorred thy selfe then cry out Master save me or else I perish for the (x) Mat 9.12 whole need not a Physitian but those that are sicke Ph. I doe see my selfe a sinner and I am sorry for my sinnes And doth not God say that whosoever confesseth and forsaketh his sins shall finde mercy J. I say unto thee thou luke-warme Professor Except thou eatest my flesh and drinkest my bloud and submittestunto my righteousnesse thou canst not be saved Joh. 6.53 Ph. Well then If I cannot be saved by my owne workes and righteousnesse Master let mee bee beholding to thee to save me J. Hast thou not read that (a) Psal 3.8 Salvation belongeth onely to the Lord and that men are saved by grace without the workes of the Law why then dost thou so (b) Deut. 32 15. lightly esteem of the Rocke of thy Salvation by seeking to be justified and saved as (c) Ro. 9 32. it were by thy owne workes I tell thee againe thou must (d) Phil. 3.9 deny thy owne righteousnesse wholly and looke to be found in my righteousnesse onely else thou canst not be saved Ph. Indeed Master thou makest the way to Heaven very hard J. It is so hard that many shall seeke to enter in and shall not bee able Luke 13.24 Ph. If it be as thou sayest I am afraid that many of our best Scribes and Pharisees will come short of Heaven J. Thou maist be sure of that for verily I say unto thee Except thy righteousnesse exceeds the righteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharisees thou shalt in no case enter into the Kingdome of Heaven Mat. 5.20 Ph. But Master there be some that doe great works in thy name shall not all such be saved J. No for many will say unto mee hereafter Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name cast out devills and in thy name done many wonderfull things and then will I professe unto them I never knew you depart from mee yee workers of iniquity Matth. 7.22.23 Ph. But why should not such rather be saved then cast away J. Because they did as thou dost doe all these things to be seen of men and to gaine honour unto themselves and so built their Salvation upon this false foundation as the foolish builder built his house upon the sand which in (g) i.e. Times of triall and persecution Luke 8.12 time of flood and winds could not stand but fell Mat. 7.26 27. Ph. I see thou dost reject mee I thought to be one of thy Disciples and to follow thee J. No I doe not reject thee but am very willing to receive thee but first consider what thou dost and what it will cost thee if thou wilt be my Disciple and follow me Ph. What will it cost mee Master J. Thou must (h) i.e. In comparison of Christ when they come in competition with him Mat. 10.37 hate thy father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters and thine owne life also yea thou must goe and sell all that thou hast and take up thy crosse daily and follow mee else thou canst not bee my Disciple Luke 14.26 27. Ph. This is a hard saying who can hear it and he went away sorrowfull and followed him no more Joh. 6.60.66 Mat. 19.22 The third Dialogue between Christ and a Doubting Beleever Christ COme unto me al ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest Mat. 11.28 Beleever Oh Lord I am a poor heavy laden sinner that would come unto thee but cannot come Ch It is true O soule no man can come unto me except the Father which hath sent me draw him Joh. 6.44 Bel. How then Lord shall I come unto thee Ch I and my Father are one and we give power to the faint and to them that have no might we adde strength Or increase Joh. 10.30 Esay 40 29. Bel Lord I am altogether without strength therefore draw mee unto thee and I will come Ch I will draw thee unto mee with the cords of a man with bands of love and with loving kindnesse Hos 11 4. Ier. 31.3 Ioh. 12.32 Bel But Lord now I looke upon my selfe I see I am unworthy to come unto thee yea unworthy of the least of thy mercies Ch So said my servant (a) Mat. 3 11.6 Iohn the Baptist and (b) Gen 32.10 Iacob and (c) Luk. 7.7 Mat. 8.8 others yet do not judge thy selfe as the (d) Acts 13.46 Jewes did unworthy of eternal life Bel If such men as John Baptist and Jacob did judge themselves unworthy how

Thou that (d) Ro. 2.17 vers 23. restest in the Law and makest thy boast of the Law through breaking the Law thou doest dishonour God and causest many to (f) Mal. 2.8 stumble at the Law verily I say unto thee thou (g) Ro. 2.12 shalt be judged by the Law Ph No I hope rather to be justified then to bee judged by the Law J. Verily verily I say unto thee by the deeds of the Law there shall no flesh be justified in Gods sight Rom. 3.20 Gal 3.11 Ph How then shall I bee justified J. The righteousnesse of God without the Law is manifest being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets Rom. 3.21 Ph What Righteousnesse is that J Not a mans (h) Phil. 3.9 own righteousnesse which is called the (i) Ro. 2.26 Righteousnesse of the Law but the (k) Ro 4.13 righteousnesse which is of God by faith Ph What difference is there betweene the righteousnesse of the Law and the righteousnesse of faith J Moses describeth the righteousnesse of the Law thus that the man which doth those things which the Law requireth shall live by them but the righteousnesse of faith saith whosoever beleeveth on me shall be saved Ro 10.5.6.11 Ph How can men bee saved by beleeving in thee for thou art but one J. As by one (l) Rom. 5.7 mans offence death reigned by one much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousnesse shall reigne in life by mee who am the (m) Mal. 4.2 sonne of righteousnesse (n) Cor. 1.30 and made by God my Father to bee righteousnesse unto men Ph Thou bearest record of thy selfe Joh. 8.13 J (o) Joh. 8 14. Though I bear record of my selfe yet my record is true (p) Joh. 5.11 My Father also beareth witnesse of mee and this is his witnesse that he hath given life and this life is in me his son Ph But what sayest thou how was our father Abraham and his seed who lived before thee justified and saved J.

Gal. 3.14.18.20 I was before Abraham and be and his spirituall seed were justified and saved by faith in me Ph But was not Abraham justified by workes J. If Abraham were justified by workes he hath whereof to glory It is true Abrahams faith was accompanied with workes but net before God for what saith the Seripture Abraham beleeved God and it was accounted to him for righteousnesse Ro. 4.2.3 Ph If I bee not justified by my good works to what end should I performe them J Though thy good workes cannot justifie thee before God yet they may glorifie God and be profitable unto men Mat. 5.16 Tit. 3.8 Ph Well then I am glad my good workes bee good for something J Yes thy good workes would bee good for something if thy faith like Abrahams did work with thy works but thou doest not beleeve and all thy good works thou doest to be seen of men Iam. 2.22 Mat 23.5 Ph No I doe not do my good workes to bee seene of men but to please God J I tell thee that without faith it is impossible to please God Heb 11.6 Ph But God hath said if a man doe well hee shall be accepted J. It is not for their well-doing that men are accepted with my father but they are made acceptable in mee and their works are accepted for my sake Eph. 1.6 1 Pet 2.6 Ph But am I no nearer Heaven that performe good workes than this sinfull and ungodly Publican J.
