A97227	Vnbeleevers no subjects of iustification, nor of mystical vnion to Christ, being the sum of a sermon preached at New Sarum, with a vindication of it from the objections, and calumniations cast upon it by Mr. William Eyre, in his Vindiciæ justificationis. Together with animadversions upon the said book, and a refutation of that anti-sidian, and anti-evangelical errour asserted therein: viz. the justification of infidels, or the justification of a sinner before, and without faith. Wherein also the conditional necessity, and instrumentality of faith unto justification, together with the consistency of it, with the freness of Gods grace, is explained, confirmed, and vindicated from the exceptions of the said Mr. Eyre, his arguments answertd [sic], his authorities examined, and brought in against himself.

must_v needs_o be_v justify_v before_o he_o do_v believe_v because_o than_o he_o be_v in_o covenant_n before_o he_o believe_v and_o he_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n be_v justify_v to_o this_o i_o

and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o consequence_n i_o deny_v also_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o he_o be_v in_o covenant_n before_o believe_a for_o there_o be_v no_o distance_n of_o time_n between_o the_o

the_o spirit_n but_o the_o elect_n and_o what_o other_o have_v be_v not_o a_o true_a save_a work_n now_o because_o no_o work_n before_o faith_n be_v true_o save_v and_o have_v a_o necessary_a
