appellantur_fw-la say_v hierom_n pelagian_a speak_v of_o zachary_n elizabeth_n job_n etc._n etc._n non_fw-la quod_fw-la omni_fw-la vitio_fw-la careant_fw-la sed_fw-la quòd_fw-la major_n part_n virtutum_fw-la commendentur_fw-la you_o grant_v that_o holiness_n may_v be_v denominate_v from_o its_o congruency_n to_o the_o precept_n as_o a_o precept_n now_o this_o you_o must_v grant_v may_v recipere_fw-la magis_fw-la &_o minus_fw-la for_o so_o you_o grant_v that_o holiness_n may_v and_o if_o congruency_n why_o not_o conformity_n for_o congruency_n and_o conformity_n though_o divers_a word_n yet_o import_n for_o any_o thing_n i_o see_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n i_o take_v faith_n to_o be_v in_o part_n our_o inherent_a righteousness_n as_o it_o be_v officium_fw-la not_o as_o it_o be_v conditio_fw-la praecisè_fw-la considerata_fw-la 3._o whether_o habitual_a faith_n or_o actual_a be_v proper_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v little_a to_o our_o purpose_n and_o for_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o i_o shall_v grant_v that_o we_o must_v not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o a_o habit_n of_o faith_n but_o must_v also_o act_v faith_n so_o i_o think_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o we_o be_v fideles_fw-la and_o so_o justify_v even_o when_o we_o sleep_v though_o no_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v perform_v by_o we_o you_o say_v nothing_o to_o that_o which_o i_o answer_v concern_v our_o divine_n ibid._n of_o who_o you_o speak_v viz._n that_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v be_v not_o our_o personal_a righteousness_n and_o therefore_o though_o they_o say_v as_o you_o allege_v that_o our_o justification_n be_v perfect_a and_o therefore_o as_o you_o infer_v our_o righteousness_n viz._n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v must_v be_v perfect_a also_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v little_a to_o your_o purpose_n 2._o to_o what_o you_o say_v i_o have_v say_v enough_o before_o viz._n that_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n as_o to_o justification_n be_v not_o our_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v but_o only_o a_o mean_n to_o partake_v of_o christ_n satisfaction_n the_o only_a righteousness_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o for_o be_v rei_fw-la poenae_fw-la novae_n legis_fw-la for_o non-performance_n of_o its_o condition_n i_o say_v still_o i_o know_v no_o punishment_n of_o the_o new_a law_n for_o want_n of_o faith_n as_o its_o condition_n but_o only_o a_o leave_v to_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o old_a law_n which_o punishment_n yet_o i_o grant_v will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o grievous_a as_o the_o sin_n which_o a_o unbeliever_n both_o as_o a_o unbeliever_n and_o otherwise_o be_v guilty_a of_o by_o gospel-aggravations_a be_v the_o more_o heinous_a 1._o i_o as_o little_a doubt_n but_o that_o sincerity_n of_o righteousness_n do_v consist_v with_o imperfection_n of_o righteousness_n 38_o viz._n inherent_a righteousness_n which_o be_v real_o the_o same_o with_o holiness_n however_o in_o this_o or_o that_o respect_n we_o may_v distinguish_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o 2._o how_o hypocrisy_n can_v be_v take_v for_o a_o seem_a or_o appear_v better_o than_o we_o be_v yet_o without_o affectation_n or_o dissimulation_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v if_o without_o any_o affectation_n or_o dissimulation_n of_o we_o we_o seem_v better_a than_o we_o be_v it_o be_v another_o error_n not_o our_o fault_n neither_o can_v we_o therefore_o be_v call_v hypocrite_n your_o manifold_a distinction_n of_o sincerity_n do_v serve_v rather_o to_o confound_v the_o reader_n than_o to_o unfold_v the_o matter_n i_o take_v sincerity_n to_o be_v no_o distinct_a grace_n but_o the_o modus_fw-la of_o other_o grace_n but_o why_o that_o modus_fw-la may_v not_o admit_v of_o degree_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o see_v i_o conceive_v zeal_n to_o be_v of_o like_a nature_n yet_o one_o may_v be_v more_o or_o less_o zealous_a and_o so_o also_o more_o or_o less_o sincere_a you_o say_v here_o there_o be_v no_o medium_fw-la inter_fw-la ens_fw-la &_o non_fw-la ens_fw-la of_o which_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o pag._n 2._o you_o think_v relation_n to_o be_v inter_fw-la ens_fw-la &_o nihil_fw-la and_o what_o difference_n between_o nihil_fw-la &_o non_fw-la ens_fw-la you_o say_v that_o you_o have_v over_o and_o over_o show_v that_o conformity_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o condition_n do_v consist_v in_o indivisibili_fw-la indeed_o you_o have_v divers_a time_n affirm_v that_o all_o conformity_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n but_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o see_v it_o prove_v but_o why_o do_v you_o now_o speak_v of_o conformity_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o condition_n i_o take_v conformity_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o precept_n to_o be_v our_o personal_a righteousness_n and_o the_o sincerity_n of_o that_o conformity_n to_o be_v the_o sincerity_n of_o this_o righteousness_n and_o this_o righteousness_n though_o it_o be_v sincere_a i_o hold_v to_o be_v imperfect_a because_o the_o conformity_n to_o the_o rule_n be_v imperfect_a iii_o sincerity_n say_v master_n blake_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o new_a rule_n or_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o this_o be_v no_o rule_n but_o our_o duty_n take_v the_o abstract_n for_o the_o concrete_a sincerity_n for_o sincere_a walk_n and_o this_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n not_o to_o reach_v it_o but_o in_o all_o part_n to_o aim_v at_o it_o and_o have_v respect_n unto_o it_o then_o shall_v i_o not_o be_v ashamed_a when_o i_o have_v respect_n to_o all_o thy_o commandment_n psal_n 119._o 6._o and_o this_o be_v our_o inherent_a righteousness_n which_o in_o reference_n to_o its_o rule_n n._n b._n labour_v under_o many_o imperfection_n and_o a_o little_a before_o he_o say_v thus_o i_o know_v no_o other_o rule_n but_o the_o old_a rule_n the_o rule_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o be_v with_o i_o a_o rule_n a_o perfect_a rule_n the_o only_a rule_n 3._o it_o seem_v very_o incongruous_a to_o grant_v that_o apoc._n 22._o 11._o be_v holy_a still_o do_v import_n a_o increase_n of_o holiness_n and_o yet_o to_o deny_v that_o be_v righteous_a still_o do_v import_n a_o increase_n of_o righteousness_n for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v some_o on_o the_o contrary_n may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o latter_a word_n import_v a_o increase_n of_o righteousness_n and_o yet_o the_o other_o no_o increase_n of_o holiness_n whereas_o you_o speak_v of_o vary_v the_o sense_n according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o subject_n you_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o here_o the_o subject_n be_v various_a whereas_o both_o by_o this_o and_o divers_a other_o place_n before_o cite_v it_o seem_v clear_a to_o i_o that_o the_o subject_n viz._n righteousness_n and_o holiness_n be_v real_o the_o same_o one_o with_o the_o other_o for_o the_o formale_a of_o righteousness_n what_o be_v it_o but_o conformity_n to_o the_o law_n the_o only_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n and_o why_o such_o conformity_n may_v not_o be_v more_o or_o less_o i_o be_o yet_o to_o learn_v that_o place_n indeed_o as_o many_o other_o speak_v of_o a_o true_a personal_a righteousness_n in_o the_o saint_n but_o yet_o not_o of_o a_o perfect_a righteousness_n in_o they_o and_o consequent_o not_o of_o such_o a_o righteousness_n as_o whereby_o they_o be_v justify_v except_o it_o be_v only_o in_o some_o sort_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n which_o be_v not_o the_o justification_n about_o which_o we_o contend_v this_o imperfect_a righteousness_n be_v measure_v by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n as_o a_o rule_n though_o it_o be_v accept_v only_o by_o the_o gracious_a condescension_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o ephes_n 4._o 24._o you_o give_v many_o answer_n but_o they_o seem_v but_o so_o many_o evasion_n 39_o 1._o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o apostle_n speak_v by_o way_n of_o precept_n and_o exhortation_n q._n d._n if_o you_o have_v indeed_o learned_a christ_n and_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o he_o you_o have_v learned_a to_o do_v so_o and_o so_o therefore_o have_v a_o care_n to_o do_v so_o sure_o the_o apostle_n word_n import_v a_o duty_n require_v and_o so_o implicity_n contain_v a_o precept_n or_o exhortation_n 2._o that_o he_o speak_v as_o well_o to_o believer_n true_a believer_n as_o mere_a professor_n be_v as_o little_a to_o be_v doubt_v for_o he_o speak_v unto_o they_o upon_o a_o supposition_n that_o they_o have_v learned_a christ_n and_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o he_o which_o though_o it_o may_v belong_v to_o mere_a professor_n yet_o to_o true_a believer_n much_o rather_o 3._o if_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v create_v in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n may_v increase_v as_o you_o grant_v then_o sure_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n in_o which_o the_o new_a man_n be_v create_v and_o without_o which_o the_o new_a man_n be_v nothing_o must_v increase_v also_o to_o say_v that_o the_o new_a man_n may_v increase_v in_o holiness_n but_o not_o in_o
