A97232	Chonoyterion he Sion. The refinement of Zion: or, The old orthodox Protestant doctrine justified, and defended against several exceptions of the Antinomians, methodically digested into questions, wherein many weighty and important cases of conscience are handled, concerning the nature of faith and repentance, or conversion to God: of his eternal love, and beholding of sin in his dearest children: of justification from eternity, of of [sic] preparations to the acceptance of Christ, of prayer for pardon of sin, and turning to God: of the gospel covenant, aud [sic] tenders of salvation, on the termes of faith and repentance. For the establishment of the scrupulous, conviction of the erroneous, and consolation of distressed consciences. By Anthony Warton, minister of the word at Breamore in Hampshire.

god_n in_o time_n offer_v christ_n unto_o we_o when_o we_o be_v sinner_n which_o we_o willing_o grant_v but_o we_o add_v further_o that_o god_n before_o all_o time_n decree_v not_o only_o to_o give_v christ_n to_o sinner_n but_o that_o those_o sinner_n shall_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n be_v bring_v in_o time_n to_o acknowledge_v their_o sin_n and_o spiritual_a misery_n and_o woeful_a

fulfil_v and_o accomplish_v in_o time_n hereupon_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o all_o sinner_n absolute_o but_o that_o those_o only_a who_o do_v acknowledge_v their_o sin_n and_o their_o eternal_a misery_n by_o sin_n be_v they_o to_o who_o christ_n be_v offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o sect_n 6._o two_o objection_n of_o mr._n d._n answer_v there_o be_v

but_o obstinate_a sinner_n who_o he_o hate_v that_o he_o love_v no_o man_n unless_o he_o be_v first_o justify_v from_o his_o sin_n for_o though_o god_n do_v not_o condemn_v any_o nor_o hate_v any_o but_o for_o their_o sin_n yet_o he_o do_v gratis_o free_o justify_v as_o many_o as_o he_o justifi_v through_o his_o grace_n without_o any_o merit_n of_o they_o yea_o contrary_a to_o the_o merit_n of_o

its_o effect_n in_o the_o next_o place_n whereas_o he_o say_v the_o hatred_n of_o god_n be_v for_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n therefore_o as_o long_o as_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n remain_v so_o long_o must_v we_o needs_o be_v hate_v of_o god_n i_o grant_v that_o god_n hate_v none_o but_o for_o sin_n but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v hereupon_o that_o every_o one_o be_v hate_v of_o god_n as_o long_o as_o the_o guilt_n of_o his_o sin_n do_v remain_v for_o then_o see_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o all_o the_o elect_n do_v go_v before_o the_o remission_n thereof_o quod_fw-la enim_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la non_fw-la remittitur_fw-la for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v forgive_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o elect_a themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o be_v once_o hate_v of_o god_n and_o not_o belove_v of_o he_o whereas_o the_o lord_n himself_o say_v that_o he_o love_v they_o with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n jer._n 31.3_o thus_o than_o it_o be_v god_n hate_v

love_n provide_v for_o they_o a_o saviour_n whereas_o then_o this_o most_o worthy_a divine_a conclude_v thus_o if_o therefore_o it_o behove_v he_o who_o god_n love_v not_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n but_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n unless_o his_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o forgive_v he_o that_o be_v unless_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o so_o leave_v it_o to_o be_v infer_v that_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v before_o we_o can_v be_v love_v of_o god_n that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v already_o do_v sufficient_o manifest_v the_o inconsequence_n hereof_o whereunto_o this_o i_o add_v further_o that_o where_o three_o be_v alike_o guilt_n we_o can_v always_o infer_v a_o necessity_n of_o like_a condemnation_n as_o for_o example_n a_o sovereign_a prince_n

some_o of_o they_o but_o other_o he_o as_o free_o make_v example_n of_o his_o justice_n for_o terror_n unto_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n even_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o this_o present_a case_n for_o whereas_o all_o of_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n have_v deserve_v eternal_a death_n god_n of_o his_o grace_n convert_v absolve_v and_o justifi_v some_o and_o other_o he_o leave_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o condemn_v they_o according_a to_o their_o demerit_n thus_o god_n love_n or_o his_o grace_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o not_o
