still_o it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o plead_v for_o no_o more_o in_o any_o other_o case_n and_o even_o in_o this_o i_o can_v content_v myself_o with_o this_o vow_n if_o it_o be_v sincere_a nor_o will_v

on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o vow_n of_o personal_a obedience_n than_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o christ_n alone_o or_o by_o faith_n only_o that_o be_v but_o the_o old_a sophism_n so_o oft_o lay_v open_a by_o our_o confess_v nothing_o to_o have_v to_o do_v with_o our_o justification_n but_o christ_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n or_o that_o

you_o to_o your_o next_o question_n which_o you_o profess_v to_o ask_v that_o mistake_n may_v be_v prevent_v upon_o that_o account_n i_o profess_v to_o answer_v most_o cheerful_o for_o i_o see_v how_o wearisome_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v be_v mistake_v to_o your_o first_o quaere_fw-la why_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o justify_v etc._n etc._n do_v not_o extend_v to_o every_o man_n for_o who_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v i_o answer_v clear_o because_o christ_n satisfaction_n be_v not_o absolute_o for_o all_o or_o that_o they_o may_v be_v pardon_v whatever_o they_o do_v how_o infidel_n or_o impenitent_a soever_o they_o continue_v but_o conditional_o for_o all_o and_o thereupon_o that_o grace_n of_o justification_n extend_v to_o none_o but_o those_o who_o perform_v the_o condition_n for_o your_o second_n it_o be_v very_o nice_a and_o may_v sure_o have_v be_v spare_v in_o this_o business_n that_o because_o god_n have_v be_v affirm_v by_o i_o to_o require_v regeneration_n as_o a_o condition_n to_o justification_n therefore_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o what_o condition_n god_n require_v unregenerate_a person_n to_o perform_v that_o they_o may_v attain_v unto_o regeneration_n to_o question_v thus_o be_v infinite_a and_o to_o this_o matter_n of_o justification_n utter_o unnecessary_a but_o yet_o i_o shall_v not_o fail_v you_o in_o any_o thing_n i_o will_v satisfy_v you_o in_o that_o also_o god_n require_v in_o the_o unregenerate_a man_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o the_o ancient_n express_v it_o a_o readiness_n to_o obey_v his_o call_n not_o to_o resist_v but_o

impenitent_a infidel_n in_o sensu_fw-la composito_fw-la i._n e._n never_o any_o that_o be_v then_o infidel_n or_o remain_v impenitent_a to_o your_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o condition_n which_o do_v so_o qualify_v the_o subject_n that_o i_o can_v say_v by_o it_o and_o only_o by_o it_o i_o be_o justify_v i._n e._n by_o it_o only_o as_o a_o condition_n not_o include_v any_o

of_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o the_o man_n you_o mention_v and_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v require_v to_o receive_v the_o object_n of_o justification_n christ_n etc._n etc._n but_o withal_o add_v that_o it_o be_v require_v as_o a_o condition_n too_o to_o dispose_v or_o qualify_v the_o subject_n and_o that_o without_o this_o condition_n no_o man_n live_a shall_v be_v justify_v which_o be_v

your_o conclusion_n that_o god_n do_v by_o his_o free_a and_o effectual_a grace_n work_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o elect_a to_o receive_v christ_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a christ_n that_o they_o

therefore_o faith_n concur_v so_o with_o such_o a_o vow_n or_o with_o faithful_a action_n can_v justify_v we_o this_o i_o write_v out_o of_o your_o paper_n as_o fast_o as_o i_o can_v drive_v and_o by_o the_o way_n you_o see_v some_o difference_n between_o our_o temper_n i_o consent_v to_o as_o much_o of_o you_o as_o possible_o i_o can_v and_o labour_n to_o take_v as_o few_o exception_n you_o on_o the_o contrary_n have_v another_o method_n in_o read_v they_o that_o you_o be_v not_o kind_a to_o and_o consent_v to_o it_o most_o full_o at_o first_o sight_n and_o never_o remember_v to_o have_v

in_o effect_n you_o yield_v also_o when_o you_o say_v that_o faith_n can_v pardon_v sin_n or_o accept_v for_o than_o it_o can_v justify_v at_o this_o time_n i_o think_v we_o be_v excellent_o well_o
