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.

they_o be_v a_o bless_a people_n oh_o bless_a sodomite_n oh_o bless_a whoremonger_n if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a here_o be_v all_o the_o unhappiness_n of_o these_o sodomitical_a saint_n they_o

and_o by_o faith_n which_o he_o work_v in_o the_o gospel_n he_o implant_v we_o into_o christ_n hereby_o we_o be_v only_o unite_v and_o now_o be_v one_o hence_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n in_o

first_o estate_n hinder_v not_o but_o that_o by_o grace_n they_o may_v be_v the_o child_n of_o love_n if_o he_o mean_v only_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o object_n of_o god_n love_n of_o

that_o we_o may_v be_v be_v as_o much_o as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v manifest_v and_o declare_v and_o know_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o speak_v here_o of_o a_o declarative_a justification_n but_o of_o a_o justification_n real_a before_o god_n therefore_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n he_o mean_v not_o a_o declarative_a justification_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o justification_n by_o faith_n he_o mean_v not_o a_o declarative_a justification_n for_o then_o the_o opposition_n be_v not_o

not_o justification_n proper_o but_o the_o knowledge_n and_o assurance_n of_o it_o justification_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o a_o action_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o justifi_v the_o apostle_n give_v a_o account_n why_o he_o and_o the_o believe_a jew_n do_v believe_v in_o christ_n for_o justification_n because_o they_o know_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n now_o there_o be_v no_o way_n but_o by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n therefore_o they_o do_v believe_v in_o christ_n where_o justification_n by_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n be_v make_v the_o final_a cause_n of_o their_o believe_v now_o if_o they_o do_v therefore_o believe_v that_o they_o may_v be_v justify_v how_o can_v that_o that_o be_v the_o end_n of_o their_o believe_a

of_o a_o assurance_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v that_o it_o be_v do_v already_o where_o he_o change_v the_o time_n pass_v for_o the_o time_n present_a and_o so_o overthrow_v the_o apostle_n scope_n and_o put_v a_o declarative_a sense_n upon_o the_o word_n for_o a_o conditional_a this_o be_v not_o to_o interpret_v scripture_n but_o to_o suborn_v the_o spirit_n to_o serve_v his_o own_o turn_n and_o hence_o i_o argue_v against_o he_o if_o the_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o already_o but_o shall_v be_v impute_v if_o they_o believe_v than_o the_o

the_o word_n be_v plain_a it_o shall_v be_v impute_v if_o we_o believe_v a_o five_o scripture_n be_v act_v 10.43_o to_o he_o give_v all_o the_o prophet_n witness_n that_o through_o his_o name_n whosoever_o believe_v shall_v receive_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o say_v by_o believe_v we_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o little_a after_o we_o obtain_v remission_n by_o christ_n but_o we_o receive_v it_o by_o faith_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o ambiguity_n in_o the_o word_n obtain_v if_o by_o it_o he_o understand_v we_o do_v not_o merit_v purchase_v forgiveness_n we_o grant_v it_o for_o whoever_o make_v the_o instrumental_a the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o by_o it_o he_o understand_v a_o receive_n the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n through_o christ_n which_o then_o and_o never_o till_o then_o be_v receive_v we_o say_v thus_o forgiveness_n be_v obtain_v by_o faith_n as_o a_o cause_n to_o apply_v christ_n righteousness_n for_o justification_n nor_o be_v this_o receive_v a_o receive_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o remission_n as_o a_o thing_n before_o do_v and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o only_o now_o obtain_v by_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o by_o faith_n we_o receive_v remission_n not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o remission_n all_o the_o prophet_n testify_v this_o we_o receive_v

by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o they_o can_v not_o etc._n etc._n he_o say_v that_o this_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o gospel_n

the_o elect_n be_v not_o justify_v before_o faith_n much_o less_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o gracious_a act_n or_o habit_n of_o faith_n i_o answer_v let_v it_o be_v grant_v he_o commend_v the_o gospel-sacrifice_n for_o sin_n above_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o he_o say_v that_o by_o obtain_v the_o law_n they_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v and_o what_o they_o can_v not_o have_v by_o the_o law_n or_o any_o sacrifice_n therein_o offete_v that_o may_v be_v obtain_v by_o christ_n through_o faith_n where_o if_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o exclude_v faith_n from_o justification_n he_o may_v have_v say_v only_o by_o he_o we_o be_v justify_v from_o all_o this_o from_o which_o you_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n but_o he_o describe_v
