A56405 A revindication set forth by William Parker, in the behalfe of Dr. Drayton deceased, and himself of the possibility of a total mortification of sin in this life: and, of the saints perfect obedience to the law of God: to be the orthodox Protestant doctrine, and no innovations (as they are falsly charged to be) of Dr. Drayton and W. Parker; in an illogicall vindication, wherein the necessity of sins remaining in the best saints as long as they live, and the impossibility of perfect obedience to the law of God, is ignorantly and perversly avouched to to [sic] be the orthodox Protestant doctrine; by one who subscribeth his name John Tendring. ... Parker, William, fl. 1651-1658. 1658 (1658) Wing P486A; ESTC R200724 221,023 288

promise_v to_o the_o keeper_n of_o the_o law_n then_o the_o promise_n have_v be_v vain_a so_o it_o have_v without_o grace_n in_o christ_n second_o if_o righteousness_n be_v by_o the_o law_n then_o

which_o be_v these_o not_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v imperfect_o but_o that_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o enrich_v we_o with_o any_o grace_n here_o while_o we_o be_v conversant_a with_o
