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 VindiciƦ 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. By T. Warren minister of the Gospel at Houghton in Hampshire. Warren, Thomas, 1616 or 17-1694. 1654 (1654) Wing W980; Thomason E733_10; ESTC R206901 226,180 282

bear_v a_o sinner_n under_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n so_o as_o to_o be_v a_o child_n of_o wrath_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n but_o to_o assert_v with_o mr._n eyre_n that_o the_o elect_n be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n be_v to_o make_v they_o never_o to_o be_v sinner_n under_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o child_n of_o wrath_n therefore_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o

thus_o the_o apostle_n put_v himself_o into_o the_o number_n and_o say_v he_o and_o they_o be_v child_n of_o disobedience_n under_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n 3._o eph._n 2.1_o 2_o 3._o dead_a in_o

the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o be_v call_v child_n of_o wrath_n it_o be_v a_o hebraisme_n signify_v that_o they_o be_v bear_v such_o and_o sure_o subject_a to_o it_o and_o obnoxious_a to_o divine_a wrath_n and_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n and_o to_o call_v a_o man_n a_o child_n of_o wrath_n be_v to_o aggravate_v the_o misery_n as_o a_o son_n of_o perdition_n be_v a_o

his_o justification_n to_o be_v a_o child_n of_o wrath_n liable_a to_o damnation_n and_o guilty_a of_o it_o for_o the_o clear_a understanding_n of_o this_o we_o must_v know_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o which_o the_o elect_n be_v subject_a first_o by_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o understand_v any_o immanent_a affection_n in_o god_n opposite_a to_o his_o
