A64243	The true light shining in darkness and dispelling the mists of errour arising from the darkness of man's heart, &c. promoted by the prince of darkness against the truth of God; in the matter of our justification: shewing, that by the deeds of the law, or mans own righteousness, no flesh can or shall be justified in the sight of God. The first part. By Tho. Taylor, the meanest and unworthiest of the servants and ministers of Jesus Christ; and now pastor to a small congregational church in Cambridge.

because_o reconciliation_n suppose_v a_o breach_n first_o make_v by_o sin_n now_o the_o breach_n make_v betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n by_o sin_n be_v not_o from_o eternity_n but_o in_o time_n and_o

by_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v without_o strength_n be_v ungodly_a be_v under_o the_o reign_n of_o sin_n unto_o death_n but_o he_o that_o be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n be_v never_o any_o of_o these_o and_o therefore_o no_o man_n be_v or_o can_v be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n there_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o this_o doctrine_n be_v

unto_o life_n in_o any_o from_o eternity_n but_o in_o time_n part._n 4._o this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n from_o eternity_n destroy_v also_o the_o doctrine_n of_o adoption_n which_o
