be_v persuade_v that_o nothing_o be_v require_v as_o a_o meritorious_a procure_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n receive_v and_o apply_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o all_o our_o evangelical_n righteousness_n so_o much_o contend_v for_o be_v only_o to_o prove_v the_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n of_o our_o faith_n from_o whence_o it_o spring_v though_o i_o think_v there_o will_v not_o be_v any_o formal_a prove_v of_o such_o matter_n then_o yet_o if_o this_o be_v all_o i_o will_v not_o contend_v about_o it_o but_o leave_v other_o to_o their_o own_o method_n scheme_n and_o expression_n hearty_o wish_v all_o may_v understand_v they_o as_o clear_o and_o orthodox_o as_o they_o profess_v to_o understand_v themselves_o though_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o those_o word_n will_v prove_v the_o most_o wholesome_a and_o grow_v most_o in_o use_n among_o serious_a professor_n which_o they_o best_o understand_v and_o which_o do_v most_o easy_o and_o plain_o convey_v the_o spiritual_a sense_n of_o the_o gospel_n into_o their_o mind_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v our_o own_o evangelical_n righteousness_n have_v some_o causal_a influence_n into_o our_o justification_n though_o i_o count_v it_o a_o very_a unorthodox_n expression_n yet_o i_o will_v in_o charity_n think_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o say_v so_o be_v out_o of_o a_o zeal_n to_o promote_v practical_a holiness_n by_o the_o strong_a motive_n imaginable_a and_o if_o they_o who_o say_v holiness_n of_o life_n be_v only_o a_o effect_n of_o justification_n make_v it_o as_o indispensable_o necessary_a in_o all_o who_o be_v justify_v as_o the_o former_a be_v not_o holiness_n secure_v and_o promote_v this_o way_n as_o well_o as_o the_o

other_o who_o can_v get_v over_o they_o when_o all_o our_o end_n be_v better_o answer_v the_o other_o way_n let_v none_o say_v we_o be_v solifidian_o who_o hold_v this_o we_o know_v very_o well_o that_o good_a work_n be_v require_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n but_o all_o that_o be_v require_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v not_o require_v unto_o justification_n beside_o justifying-faith_n do_v many_o thing_n by_o its_o influence_n which_o must_v not_o be_v put_v into_o the_o justify_n act_n of_o faith_n for_o than_o we_o shall_v confound_v justification_n and_o sanctification_n and_o make_v they_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v all_o one_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v state_v the_o point_n of_o justification_n we_o be_v not_o only_o to_o consider_v how_o we_o
