A67126	Socinianisme in the fundamentall point of justification discovered, and confuted, or, An answer to a written pamphlet maintaining that faith is in a proper sense without a trope imputed to beleevers in justification wherein the Socinian fallacies are discovered and confuted, and the true Christian doctrine maintained, viz. that the righteousnesse by which true beleevers are justified before God is the perfect righteousnesse and obedience which the Lord Iesus Christ God and man did perform to the law of God, both in his life and death / by George Walker ...

which_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n whether_o our_o believe_a of_o that_o our_o redemption_n be_v not_o a_o true_a justify_v faith_n last_o he_o argue_v without_o reason_n that_o though_o christ_n
