A91793	Justification by Christ alone, a fountaine of life and comfort, declaring that the whole worke of mans salvation was accomplished by Jesus Christ upon the crosse, in that he tooke away & healed all his, from all sinnes, and presented them to God holy without fault in his sight. And the objections against this are answered, for the consolation of such as beleive; & that they may not ascribe that which is proper to Christs preistly office, to their beleiving. / By Samuel Richardson.

and_o therefore_o i_o be_o to_o believe_v it_o because_o it_o be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v not_o true_a and_o so_o be_v false_a than_o it_o seem_v i_o be_o to_o believe_v a_o lie_n and_o for_o i_o to_o believe_v i_o be_o justify_v when_o i_o be_o not_o be_v to_o deceive_v myself_o in_o believe_v that_o which_o be_v false_a also_o if_o i_o be_o to_o believe_v i_o be_o justify_v when_o i_o be_o not_o

can_v make_v any_o thing_n true_a or_o false_a nor_o cause_v the_o being_n of_o that_o which_o have_v no_o be_v before_o therefore_o when_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o word_n of_o truth_n declare_v and_o reveal_v to_o a_o soul_n that_o all_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o wash_v away_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n 6._o and_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o bear_v witness_v because_o the_o spirit_n be_v truth_n 1_o joh._n 5._o 6._o therefore_o see_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n before_o we_o believe_v it_o we_o may_v not_o believe_v that_o faith_n in_o we_o be_v either_o a_o cause_n or_o a_o mean_n or_o any_o instrument_n of_o it_o but_o only_o a_o mean_n of_o our_o receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o and_o of_o our_o enjoy_v the_o comfort_n of_o it_o and_o as_o for_o such_o as_o be_v trouble_v because_o they_o can_v believe_v as_o they_o think_v all_o that_o i_o can_v say_v to_o they_o be_v use_v the_o

it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o faith_n justify_v they_o sometime_o it_o be_v not_o the_o act_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o grace_n than_o not_o for_o the_o excellency_n of_o it_o but_o because_o god_n impute_v it_o for_o righteousness_n then_o that_o there_o be_v a_o righteousness_n in_o faith_n itself_o we_o place_v justification_n in_o christ_n alone_o by_o which_o mean_v we_o be_v at_o a_o certainty_n and_o they_o that_o think_v otherwise_o if_o they_o please_v let_v they_o satisfy_v i_o in_o these_o few_o question_n 1._o whether_o faith_n in_o the_o nature_n and_o power_n of_o it_o unacted_a do_v justify_v or_o no_o if_o yea_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o the_o power_n to_o believe_v apart_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o can_v be_v know_v to_o we_o 2._o how_o it_o may_v fit_o be_v call_v faith_n when_o there_o be_v no_o believe_v as_o there_o be_v not_o without_o the_o act_n see_v faith_n and_o to_o believe_v be_v one_o thing_n and_o whether_o the_o same_o light_n and_o power_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o the_o same_o power_n by_o which_o we_o obey_v the_o rest_n of_o god_n command_n and_o if_o it_o be_v how_o you_o can_v distinguish_v it_o apart_o from_o its_o act_n and_o if_o it_o justify_v as_o it_o be_v a_o grace_n unact_v can_v you_o tell_v how_o and_o when_o you_o be_v justify_v and_o if_o it_o may_v abide_v in_o the_o soul_n one_o hour_n and_o not_o act_v why_o not_o two_o and_o so_o two_o seven_o year_n and_o whether_o then_o this_o opinion_n do_v not_o imply_v that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v faith_n in_o he_o and_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o and_o yet_o he_o never_o believe_v nor_o know_v it_o and_o if_o faith_n justify_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o righteousness_n or_o meritoriousness_n of_o it_o whether_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o we_o be_v righteous_a in_o ourselves_o and_o so_o stand_v in_o no_o need_n of_o any_o righteousness_n in_o another_o and_o so_o need_v not_o live_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n see_v we_o have_v our_o righteousness_n in_o we_o if_o there_o be_v no_o merit_n no_o righteousness_n in_o the_o act_n of_o our_o believe_v but_o only_o god_n be_v please_v to_o accept_v it_o for_o righteousness_n and_o reckon_v it_o so_o whether_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o god_n esteem_v and_o accept_v of_o that_o for_o righteousness_n and_o impute_v it_o for_o righteousness_n which_o be_v not_o so_o in_o itself_o and_o whether_o this_o be_v for_o his_o honour_n or_o no_o and_o whether_o it_o tend_v not_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o christ_n that_o his_o righteousness_n in_o he_o be_v not_o sufficient_a and_o may_v not_o be_v that_o which_o justify_v those_o he_o die_v
