for_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v entitle_v to_o that_o purchase_v possession_n 1.14_o and_o this_o by_o we_o be_v accept_v by_o faith_n also_o and_o all_o those_o be_v relative_n act_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o rather_o then_o work_v wrought_v in_o we_o but_o regeneration_n and_o sanctification_n be_v work_n of_o god_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o produce_v not_o one_o a_o relative_n but_o a_o real_a change_n whereby_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o a_o new_a nature_n or_o as_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o the_o new_a man_n 4.24_o or_o the_o new_a creature_n whereby_o holiness_n 6.15_o and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v begin_v and_o increase_v gradual_o till_o we_o come_v to_o that_o of_o the_o perfect_a man_n 4.13_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n to_o that_o perfection_n which_o we_o shall_v attain_v in_o glory_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n be_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o such_o holiness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o necessary_a also_o to_o salvation_n so_o that_o holiness_n and_o a_o good_a life_n with_o the_o work_n of_o piety_n charity_n and_o other_o good_a deed_n be_v indeed_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o belong_v proper_o to_o sanctification_n rather_o than_o to_o justification_n and_o i_o will_v ask_v those_o man_n who_o choose_v to_o speak_v otherwise_o whether_o they_o think_v that_o beside_o justification_n there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o sanctification_n the_o papist_n if_o he_o will_v speak_v out_o must_v say_v roundly_o there_o be_v not_o for_o when_o they_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o inherent_a righteousness_n that_o be_v by_o holiness_n they_o leave_v nothing_o for_o sanctification_n but_o we_o who_o think_v that_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n though_o of_o the_o same_o person_n be_v different_a notion_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o rather_o refer_v sanctify_v to_o sanctification_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o justify_v and_o the_o sanctify_a person_n be_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o so_o nice_o distinguish_v between_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n i_o say_v it_o be_v true_a the_o person_n be_v the_o same_o but_o the_o notion_n be_v different_a and_o though_o we_o may_v true_o say_v justus_n est_fw-fr sanctus_n or_o justificatus_fw-la est_fw-la sanctificatus_fw-la yet_o not_o justificatio_fw-la est_fw-la sanctificatio_fw-la he_o that_o be_v justify_v be_v sanctify_v but_o not_o that_o justification_n be_v sanctification_n and_o a_o little_a logic_n will_v teach_v a_o freshman_n that_o concretes_n may_v be_v predicate_v one_o of_o another_o when_o the_o abstract_n may_v not_o we_o may_v say_v that_o homo_fw-la est_fw-la animal_n but_o not_o that_o humanitas_fw-la est_fw-la animalitas_fw-la or_o that_o homo_fw-la est_fw-la albus_n but_o not_o humanitas_fw-la est_fw-la albedo_n if_o last_o it_o be_v think_v advantageous_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o i_o say_v neither_o be_v this_o necessary_a for_o this_o be_v as_o well_o do_v by_o preach_v the_o necessity_n of_o regeneration_n and_o sanctification_n as_o without_o which_o we_o can_v hope_v for_o salvation_n and_o then_o the_o exercise_n of_o holiness_n and_o a_o godly_a life_n come_v in_o proper_o in_o its_o own_o place_n as_o the_o necessary_a effect_n of_o sanctification_n and_o in_o this_o capacity_n it_o be_v that_o our_o church_n without_o derogate_a any_o thing_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o they_o do_v place_n good_a work_n as_o the_o necessary_a fruit_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o justify_v and_o a_o pretence_n of_o faith_n without_o these_o she_o esteem_v to_o be_v not_o faith_n but_o fancy_n and_o therefore_o though_o she_o exclude_v they_o as_o have_v be_v say_v from_o the_o office_n of_o justify_v yet_o think_v they_o necessary_a to_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n in_o every_o person_n that_o be_v justify_v and_o make_v it_o the_o office_n and_o duty_n of_o every_o christian_a man_n unto_o god_n not_o to_o pass_v the_o time_n of_o this_o present_a life_n unfruitful_o and_o idle_o not_o care_v how_o few_o good_a work_n we_o do_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o profit_n of_o our_o neighbour_n much_o less_o to_o live_v contrary_a to_o the_o same_o for_o that_o faith_n she_o tell_v we_o which_o bring_v without_o repentance_n either_o evil_a work_n or_o no_o good_a work_n be_v not_o a_o right_a pure_a and_o lively_a faith_n but_o a_o dead_a devilish_a counterfeit_a and_o feign_a faith_n as_o s._n paul_n and_o s._n james_n call_v it_o for_o even_o the_o devil_n know_v and_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n that_o he_o fast_v forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n without_o meat_n and_o drink_n that_o he_o wrought_v all_o kind_n of_o miracle_n declare_v himself_o very_a god_n they_o believe_v also_o that_o christ_n for_o our_o sake_n suffer_v most_o painful_a death_n to_o redeem_v from_o everlasting_a death_n and_o that_o he_o rise_v again_o from_o death_n the_o three_o day_n they_o believe_v that_o he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n and_o at_o the_o last_o end_n of_o this_o

be_v write_v in_o the_o new_a and_o old_a testament_n to_o be_v true_a and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o faith_n they_o be_v but_o devil_n remain_v still_o in_o their_o damnable_a state_n lack_v the_o very_a true_a christian_n faith_n for_o the_o right_n and_o true_a christian_a faith_n be_v not_o only_o to_o believe_v that_o holy_a scripture_n and_o all_o the_o foresay_a article_n of_o our_o

follow_v a_o love_a heart_n to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n and_o this_o true_a christian_a faith_n neither_o any_o devil_n have_v nor_o yet_o any_o man_n which_o in_o the_o outward_a profession_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o in_o his_o outward_a receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o come_v to_o the_o church_n and_o in_o all_o outward_a appearance_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n and_o yet_o in_o his_o live_n and_o deed_n show_v the_o contrary_a so_o that_o our_o church_n be_v far_o from_o allow_v a_o idle_a lazy_a life_n much_o less_o a_o sinful_a and_o wicked_a life_n to_o accompany_v faith_n but_o tell_v we_o that_o where_o there_o be_v faith_n be_v not_o there_o be_v indeed_o she_o tell_v we_o a_o faith_n which_o in_o scripture_n be_v call_v a_o dead_a faith_n which_o bring_v
