therefore_o do_v not_o give_v it_o no_o wonder_n therefore_o while_o you_o deny_v this_o legal_a testamentary_a moral_a donation_n that_o you_o be_v force_v also_o to_o deny_v justification_n constitutive_a but_o very_o inconvenient_o and_o unsafe_o by_o what_o way_n do_v god_n give_v a_o father_n authority_n over_o his_o child_n and_o a_o husband_n over_o his_o wife_n and_o a_o magistrate_n over_o the_o people_n and_o a_o minister_n over_o the_o church_n or_o flock_n but_o only_o by_o this_o moral_a legal_a action_n and_o even_o so_o do_v he_o give_v power_n to_o they_o

for_o judge_v in_o general_n contain_v these_o special_a action_n but_o the_o word_n do_v judge_v we_o and_o shall_v do_v at_o the_o last_o day_n therefore_o the_o word_n do_v justify_v and_o

but_o by_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n or_o the_o threaten_v of_o penalty_n be_v our_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n and_o condemnation_n induce_v or_o cause_v therefore_o by_o the_o way_n of_o

by_o mere_a believe_v without_o gospel-obedience_n 2._o the_o person_n that_o paul_n dispute_v against_o be_v 1_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n that_o think_v the_o moysaicall_a law_n be_v of_o such_o

of_o accurate_a obedience_n to_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n in_o the_o main_a course_n of_o their_o life_n and_o exact_a sacrifice_v according_a to_o that_o law_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n

from_o captivity_n and_o repair_v their_o temple_n law_n etc._n etc._n and_o 2._o paul_n dispute_v against_o false_a teacher_n that_o will_v have_v join_v these_o two_o together_o the_o

to_o believe_v in_o christ_n or_o live_v as_o if_o they_o so_o think_v its_o like_a misunderstanding_n paul_n doctrine_n of_o justification_n as_o many_o now_o do_v 3._o the_o work_n that_o paul_n

with_o he_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n and_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o therefore_o he_o oft_o speak_v against_o justification_n by_o the_o law_n express_o and_o usual_o style_v the_o work_n he_o speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o by_o consequence_n and_o a_o parity_n of_o reason_n he_o may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o speak_v against_o any_o work_n imaginable_a that_o be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o christ_n or_o competition_n with_o he_o and_o that_o be_v suppose_v meritorious_a and_o intend_v as_o mercenary_a but_o james_n speak_v of_o no_o work_n but_o obedience_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o that_o as_o stand_v in_o due_a subordination_n to_o christ_n 4._o by_o faith_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n paul_n mean_v our_o assent_n to_o

a_o bare_a ineffectual_a assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n such_o as_o the_o devil_n themselves_o have_v 5._o paul_n speak_v of_o justification_n in_o its_o whole_a state_n as_o begin_v and_o continue_v but_o james_n do_v principal_o if_o not_o only_o speak_v of_o justification_n as_o continue_v though_o if_o by_o work_n any_o understand_v a_o disposition_n to_o work_v in_o faith_n or_o conjunct_a with_o it_o as_o dr._n jackson_n do_v so_o his_o word_n be_v true_a of_o initial_a justification_n also_o 6._o the_o principal_a difference_n lie_v in_o the_o relation_n of_o work_n mention_v paul_n speak_v of_o work_n as_o the_o immediate_a matter_n of_o a_o legal_a personal_a righteousness_n
as_o flat_a condition_n of_o her_o continue_v her_o enjoyment_n as_o the_o marriage_n covenant_n be_v of_o first_o obtain_v they_o to_o my_o second_o answer_n you_o show_v that_o paul_n exclude_v work_n under_o any_o notion_n 1._o from_o his_o opposition_n between_o faith_n and_o work_v where_o you_o say_v i_o contradict_v paul_n and_o give_v a_o tertium_fw-la to_o which_o i_o answer_v to_o distinguish_v of_o paul_n term_n and_o explain_v his_o meaning_n in_o his_o own_o word_n be_v not_o to_o give_v a_o tertium_fw-la or_o contradict_v but_o this_o be_v all_o that_o i_o do_v i_o

a_o labourer_n perform_v for_o his_o wage_n or_o which_o make_v the_o reward_n to_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n but_o of_o debt_n so_o paul_n tell_v you_o that_o he_o understand_v or_o use_v the_o term_n rom._n 4.4_o usual_o therefore_o call_v they_o work_v of_o the_o law_n now_o he_o that_o exclude_v work_n only_o under_o this_o notion_n do_v not_o therefore_o exclude_v they_o under_o every_o

take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o abraham_n have_v such_o work_n which_o paul_n dispute_v against_o but_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o whereas_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o say_v that_o paul_n

your_o three_o argument_n be_v because_o impute_v cover_a all_o be_v whole_o attribute_v to_o god_n answer_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o god_n be_v the_o only_a principal_a efficient_a cause_n

but_o what_o be_v all_o therefore_o attribute_v to_o god_n even_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o condition_n on_o man_n part_n or_o be_v there_o no_o such_o condition_n which_o man_n must_v perform_v

be_v it_o a_o act_n of_o man_n or_o be_v it_o exclude_v when_o will_v you_o prove_v the_o consequence_n of_o this_o argument_n your_o five_o argument_n be_v because_o the_o assertion_n be_v
