speak_v of_o be_v that_o justification_n which_o we_o have_v in_o that_o text_n of_o genesis_n where_o it_o be_v say_v and_o abraham_n believe_v and_o it_o be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o

as_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o that_o text_n in_o genesis_n therefore_o st._n paul_n justification_n and_o st._n james_n justification_n be_v the_o same_o justification_n again_o that_o faith_n which_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o be_v the_o faith_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o that_o text_n in_o genesis_n or_o the_o same_o faith_n as_o be_v impute_v to_o abraham_n for_o righteousness_n in_o that_o

abraham_n for_o righteousness_n in_o that_o place_n therefore_o the_o faith_n that_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o and_o the_o faith_n which_o st._n james_n speak_v of_o be_v the_o same_o faith_n also_o and_o when_o the_o faith_n be_v the_o same_o and_o the_o justification_n the_o same_o we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o work_n then_o out_o of_o question_n to_o reconcile_v these_o scripture_n of_o work_n than_o let_v we_o distinguish_v and_o the_o distinction_n be_v this_o there_o be_v work_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o grace_n and_o pardon_v so_o that_o if_o we_o have_v they_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n or_o sacrifice_n but_o the_o do_v of_o they_o will_v make_v the_o reward_n to_o be_v of_o debt_n or_o make_v life_n to_o be_v due_a out_o of_o district_n justice_n he_o that_o do_v they_o shall_v live_v in_o they_o that_o be_v work_v which_o the_o law_n require_v unto_o justification_n and_o these_o be_v the_o work_n st._n paul_n speak_v of_o and_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o allege_n why_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o these_o work_n be_v because_o no_o man_n have_v they_o this_o be_v that_o which_o he_o apparent_o urge_v for_o he_o ascend_v in_o his_o dispute_n from_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o concern_v both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n in_o his_o three_o first_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n so_o that_o if_o any_o man_n be_v justify_v it_o must_v be_v without_o they_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v say_v he_o that_o by_o faith_n without_o they_o that_o be_v without_o have_v they_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v there_o be_v then_o work_v also_o which_o be_v consistent_a with_o pardon_n and_o mercy_n though_o we_o have_v they_o so_o that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v these_o we_o do_v need_v the_o righteousness_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o redeemer_n to_o cover_v their_o imperfection_n and_o for_o acceptation_n of_o our_o person_n no_o less_o than_o if_o we_o have_v faith_n alone_o without_o any_o and_o these_o be_v work_n of_o sincerity_n require_v of_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v no_o way_n derogatory_n i_o say_v to_o god_n grace_n and_o christ_n merit_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o these_o work_n any_o more_o than_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o in_o regard_n to_o debt_n or_o merit_n upon_o which_o account_n st._n paul_n exclude_v work_n in_o his_o disputation_n it_o be_v of_o these_o work_v i_o must_v say_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o grace_n and_o these_o be_v the_o work_n st._n james_n speak_v of_o when_o he_o say_v by_o faith_n and_o work_n also_o that_o be_v all_o one_o as_o by_o a_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n in_o paul_n word_n otherwhere_o and_o the_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n or_o by_o a_o faith_n productive_a of_o work_n or_o by_o these_o work_n and_o faith_n also_o which_o be_v such_o work_n as_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o law_n and_o do_v need_v grace_n and_o forgiveness_n for_o their_o acceptation_n with_o god_n be_v all_o one_o with_o st_n paul_n by_o faith_n without_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o without_o such_o as_o the_o law_n require_v unto_o justification_n thus_o be_v paul_n and_o james_n reconcile_v i_o will_v advance_v hence_o then_o my_o former_a argument_n that_o justification_n by_o faith_n without_o work_n which_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o be_v that_o justification_n or_o that_o imputation_n of_o abraham_n faith_n for_o righteousness_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o that_o text_n in_o genesis_n that_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o faith_n also_o which_o st._n james_n speak_v of_o be_v that_o justification_n or_o that_o imputation_n of_o abraham_n faith_n for_o righteousness_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o that_o text_n in_o genesis_n therefore_o st._n paul_n justification_n by_o faith_n without_o work_n and_o st._n james_n justification_n by_o faith_n and_o work_v also_o or_o by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o two_o apostle_n the_o medium_n upon_o which_o all_o three_o syllogism_n depend_v be_v the_o apostle_n cite_v the_o same_o text_n both_o of_o they_o for_o that_o which_o either_o of_o they_o assert_v while_o one_o say_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n and_o the_o other_o by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o the_o major_a and_o minor_a therefore_o in_o all_o three_o be_v undeniable_a and_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o last_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o doctor_n and_o i_o shall_v agree_v together_o i_o have_v another_o thing_n to_o offer_v to_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o dr._n that_o whereas_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o a_o commutation_n between_o christ_n and_o we_o in_o his_o take_n upon_o he_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o partake_n of_o his_o righteousness_n i_o do_v apprehend_v this_o expression_n and_o doctrine_n to_o be_v christian_a holy_a and_o good_a according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o text_n he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o the_o like_a place_n but_o only_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n to_o be_v put_v between_o the_o use_n of_o the_o notion_n against_o the_o socinian_o in_o the_o point_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o the_o use_n of_o it_o against_o the_o mediocreans_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n i_o do_v believe_v such_o a_o commutation_n as_o the_o dr._n speak_v of_o be_v necessary_a to_o that_o great_a work_n which_o christ_n undertake_v for_o mankind_n as_o it_o concern_v the_o whole_a world_n in_o the_o procure_a reconciliation_n and_o life_n for_o all_o upon_o the_o term_n of_o the_o redeemer_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o take_v on_o he_o our_o sin_n to_o suffer_v in_o our_o behalf_n which_o be_v his_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n also_o for_o we_o that_o god_n may_v without_o dishonour_n to_o he_o as_o rector_n dispense_v with_o it_o so_o as_o to_o impute_v to_o we_o our_o faith_n and_o imperfect_a obedience_n for_o righteousness_n which_o be_v our_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o satisfaction_n offer_v and_o consequent_o no_o reconciliation_n or_o redemption_n but_o as_o for_o such_o a_o commutation_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n which_o concern_v particular_a believer_n i_o be_o yet_o to_o learn_v what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o from_o this_o reverend_a person_n to_o inquire_v then_o to_o the_o bottom_n the_o foundation_n of_o this_o commutation_n be_v lay_v i_o see_v by_o he_o in_o the_o mystical_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o member_n which_o must_v pertain_v therefore_o only_o to_o such_o and_o that_o as_o a_o fruit_n or_o effect_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n give_v to_o they_o if_o it_o be_v so_o to_o that_o end_n when_o this_o indeed_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o do_v not_o belong_v at_o all_o to_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n but_o to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o son_n and_o the_o arbitrary_a ordination_n of_o the_o father_n whatsoever_o influence_n christ_n have_v upon_o the_o soul_n as_o our_o head_n by_o

to_o that_o spring_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v not_o the_o dr._n judge_n right_a that_o such_o a_o

in_o the_o express_a declaration_n of_o god_n to_o our_o first_o parent_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o in_o his_o covenant_n with_o noah_n which_o must_v be_v understand_v without_o dispute_n in_o regard_n to_o they_o and_o their_o posterity_n now_o when_o such_o a_o law_n have_v be_v promulgate_v to_o adam_n and_o noah_n as_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o world_n be_v to_o come_v of_o they_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v that_o this_o law_n be_v or_o have_v be_v somewhere_o or_o at_o some_o time_n again_o repeal_v by_o god_n or_o else_o must_v every_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n be_v under_o this_o government_n of_o god_n according_a to_o it_o and_o consequent_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o salvation_n i_o will_v to_o these_o reason_n add_v one_o syllogism_n it_o be_v not_o the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n but_o doer_n shall_v be_v justify_v this_o be_v express_v in_o one_o verse_n of_o the_o second_o to_o the_o

the_o law_n but_o according_a to_o acceptation_n by_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o i_o say_v shall_v be_v justify_v and_o save_v but_o some_o heathen_a be_v doer_n of_o the_o law_n in_o

sure_o we_o have_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o if_o the_o uncircumcision_n keep_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v not_o his_o uncircumcision_n be_v count_v for_o

it_o follow_v that_o such_o as_o these_o therefore_o be_v jew_n inward_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n though_o they_o be_v not_o outward_a jew_n or_o in_o the_o flesh_n or_o of_o the_o circumcision_n as_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o word_n already_o and_o the_o last_o verse_n they_o that_o be_v jew_n inward_o and_o in_o the_o spirit_n then_o i_o follow_v my_o argument_n though_o not_o outward_o
