A88089 VindiciƦ Christi, et obex errori Arminiano: = a plea for Christ, and obstrvction to the first passage, whereat the errors of Arminus steal into the hearts of men: shewing Christs satisfaction in his humiliation, to be the sole price of our redemption; and evidencing faith in that satisfaction, no instrumental cause of our justification in the fight of God, nor condition given us for life. Delivered in three sermons: by Richard Lewthwat Master of Arts, in Caius Colledge in Cambridge, at his Parish of Wigston in Norfolk. Lewthwat, Richard. 1655 (1655) Wing L1855; Thomason E480_6; ESTC R205317 30,584 39

we_o that_o our_o salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n be_v purchase_v and_o bring_v about_o for_o we_o by_o christ_n by_o his_o blood_n this_o my_o gloss_n on_o these_o word_n seem_v to_o i_o right_o

take_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o last_o in_o a_o word_n the_o doctrine_n concern_v christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o life_n the_o gospel_n of_o salvation_n yea_o but_o life_n and_o salvation_n be_v

the_o better_a success_n herein_o let_v i_o admonish_v you_o that_o love_n in_o god_n as_o dumoul_v say_v be_v not_o a_o affection_n passion_n or_o desire_v in_o god_n for_o god_n can_v be_v touch_v

to_o make_v all_o before_o speak_v plain_o true_a consider_v by_o what_o mean_v the_o baptist_n say_v christ_n do_v all_o this_o the_o mean_n whereby_o he_o do_v it_o be_v implicit_a in_o the_o tide_n
