A97227	Vnbeleevers no subjects of iustification, nor of mystical vnion to Christ, being the sum of a sermon preached at New Sarum, with a vindication of it from the objections, and calumniations cast upon it by Mr. William Eyre, in his Vindiciæ justificationis. Together with animadversions upon the said book, and a refutation of that anti-sidian, and anti-evangelical errour asserted therein: viz. the justification of infidels, or the justification of a sinner before, and without faith. Wherein also the conditional necessity, and instrumentality of faith unto justification, together with the consistency of it, with the freness of Gods grace, is explained, confirmed, and vindicated from the exceptions of the said Mr. Eyre, his arguments answertd [sic], his authorities examined, and brought in against himself.

due_a to_o christ_n be_v attribute_v to_o faith_n because_o it_o alone_o be_v the_o only_a instrument_n to_o apply_v christ_n righteousness_n unto_o justification_n now_o the_o apostle_n to_o prevent_v a_o mistake_n lest_o any_o shall_v think_v because_o faith_n be_v our_o act_n that_o therefore_o we_o be_v save_v by_o something_o in_o we_o he_o answer_v that_o though_o it_o be_v our_o act_n it_o be_v god_n gift_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v challenge_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o work_n of_o salvation_n because_o we_o be_v passive_a in_o this_o work_n it_o be_v a_o grace_n wrought_v

salvation_n know_v how_o deep_o this_o error_n be_v root_v in_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n to_o seek_v righteousness_n in_o themselves_o and_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v not_o have_v

to_o glory_n in_o himself_o therefore_o god_n will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v by_o grace_n receive_v by_o faith_n that_o no_o man_n may_v boast_v in_o the_o ten_o verse_n the_o apostle_n have_v show_v that_o our_o salvation_n be_v only_o of_o grace_n and_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o we_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o all_o save_a good_a in_o christ_n by_o faith_n exclude_v all_o cause_n in_o man_n lest_o he_o shall_v boast_v he_o lay_v down_o a_o new_a reason_n why_o we_o can_v be_v save_v by_o work_n because_o in_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n we_o be_v whole_o god_n workmanship_n in_o christ_n create_v to_o good_a work_n and_o we_o be_v as_o mere_o passive_a in_o this_o work_n as_o in_o the_o first_o work_n of_o creation_n for_o as_o no_o creature_n contribute_v any_o thing_n to_o its_o own_o be_v and_o as_o there_o be_v no_o disposition_n in_o man_n to_o make_v himself_o a_o man_n so_o there_o be_v natural_o no_o ability_n in_o we_o to_o contribute_v any_o thing_n to_o our_o new_a creation_n therefore_o see_v all_o we_o have_v and_o be_v enable_v to_o do_v be_v by_o grace_n we_o be_v not_o save_v

and_o by_o faith_n which_o he_o work_v in_o the_o gospel_n he_o implant_v we_o into_o christ_n hereby_o we_o be_v only_o unite_v and_o now_o be_v one_o hence_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n in_o the_o merit_n of_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o and_o hereby_o be_v we_o actual_o acquit_v and_o justify_v and_o deliver_v from_o that_o wrath_n we_o be_v subject_a to_o by_o nature_n hence_o than_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n liable_a to_o condemnation_n at_o our_o birth_n and_o then_o be_v not_o justify_v from_o eternity_n for_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v from_o

true_a they_o may_v be_v consider_v joint_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n but_o no_o man_n can_v actual_o be_v in_o both_o these_o estate_n sure_a they_o be_v two_o different_a estate_n the_o

and_o god_n in_o that_o estate_n can_v not_o pardon_v they_o keep_v to_o his_o own_o order_n of_o salvation_n therefore_o than_o they_o be_v not_o justify_v therefore_o when_o he_o say_v that_o this_o first_o estate_n hinder_v not_o but_o that_o by_o grace_n they_o may_v be_v the_o child_n of_o love_n if_o he_o mean_v only_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o object_n of_o god_n love_n of_o
