A86586	An exercitation concerning the nature of forgivenesse of sin. Very necessary (as the author humbly conceiveth) to a right informaion [sic], and well grounded decision of sundry controversal points in divinity now depending. Directly intended as an antidote for preventing the danger of antinomian doctrine. And consequently subservient for promoting the true faith of Christ and fear of God, in a godly righteous, and sober life. / By Thomas Hotchkis, Master of Arts of C.C.C.C. and minister of Gods word at Stanton by Highworth in the county of Wilts. To which is prefixed Mr. Richard Baxters preface.	Hotchkis, Thomas.; Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1654 (1654)	Wing H2891; Thomason E1518_1; Thomason E1632_1; ESTC R208563	133,342	405

we_o minister_n nevertheless_o i_o shall_v not_o go_v about_o at_o this_o time_n to_o enumerate_v all_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o but_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o name_n only_o this_o

the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v perfection_n of_o obedience_n or_o the_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v faith_n in_o

so_o be_v we_o to_o perform_v the_o latter_a condition_n or_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o latter_a covenant_n for_o life_n also_o shall_v we_o go_v about_o to_o set_v up_o the_o perfect_a fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o salvation_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n work_n for_o salvation_n this_o indeed_o be_v legal_a work_n and_o to_o work_v as_o legalist_n or_o shall_v we_o expect_v salvation_n as_o merit_a wage_n for_o our_o work_n this_o be_v to_o work_v legal_o but_o to_o labour_v by_o his_o strength_n to_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o
