A81815 The fulness and freeness of Gods grace in Jesus Christ, declared in two general points: first, that personal election is no ground of the saints perseverance in the grace of God by Jesus Christ. Secondly, in what sense the scriptures speake the saints perseverance in that grace. The third part. / By Francis Duke.; Fulnesse and freenesse of Gods grace in Jesus Christ.

have_v do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o if_o the_o saint_n work_n either_o in_o do_v or_o suffer_v 6.5_o isa_n 64.6_o isa_n 6.5_o be_v unprofitable_a in_o any_o respect_n it_o must_v be_v in_o attain_v that_o great_a reward_n of_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v only_o attain_v by_o our_o lord_n himself_o as_o former_o be_v prove_v and_o the_o saint_n affirm_v of_o themselves_o self_n that_o they_o be_v all_o as_o a_o unclean_a thing_n and_o all_o their_o righteousness_n as_o filthy_a rag_n isaiah_n say_v i_o be_o a_o man_n unclean_a because_o i_o be_o a_o man_n of_o unclean_a lip_n and_o the_o psalmist_n say_v i_o will_v take_v heed_n unto_o my_o way_n that_o i_o sin_v not_o verse_n 1._o yet_o verse_n 5._o conclude_v very_o every_o man_n at_o his_o best_a estate_n be_v altogether_o vanity_n therefore_o this_o objection_n at_o the_o best_a be_v of_o no_o force_n because_o no_o weight_n of_o truth_n in_o it_o but_o second_o i_o answer_v to_o that_o text_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o objection_n because_o their_o suffering_n be_v for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n sake_n therefore_o they_o be_v to_o leap_v for_o joy_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o great_a reward_n in_o heaven_n and_o much_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n in_o the_o 10._o verse_n bless_a be_v they_o that_o be_v persecute_v for_o righteousness_n sake_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o our_o lord_n comfort_v the_o saint_n with_o present_v they_o with_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n answ_n as_o the_o great_a reward_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o eternal_a life_n to_o leap_v for_o joy_n in_o all_o their_o suffering_n and_o another_o thing_n that_o he_o shall_v intend_v that_o their_o suffering_n and_o work_n shall_v be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n to_o procure_v that_o weight_n of_o glory_n man_n be_v in_o his_o best_a estate_n mere_o vanity_n as_o be_v prove_v wherefore_o christ_n give_v they_o this_o as_o to_o comfort_v they_o as_o paul_n in_o the_o like_a case_n to_o comfort_v the_o saint_n in_o a_o suffer_a condition_n our_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n work_v for_o we_o a_o far_o more_o excellent_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v work_v this_o good_a effect_n in_o we_o to_o settle_v our_o mind_n the_o more_o upon_o that_o glory_n to_o come_v and_o the_o less_o upon_o this_o world_n glory_n as_o the_o next_o word_n imply_v while_o we_o look_v not_o at_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v but_o at_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v be_v temporal_a but_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v be_v eternal_a but_o to_o avoid_v mistake_n in_o this_o point_n of_o the_o saint_n work_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o lay_v down_o this_o ground_n that_o the_o saint_n in_o this_o world_n have_v a_o twofold_a righteousness_n which_o be_v to_o be_v handle_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n chap._n ix_o in_o which_o be_v handle_v a_o twofold_a righteousness_n peculiar_a to_o the_o saint_n and_o no_o man_n else_o the_o first_o righteousness_n be_v this_o namely_o the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o be_v their_o inherent_a righteousness_n as_o concern_v the_o first_o quest_n how_o can_v that_o be_v they_o only_o which_o be_v extend_v not_o only_o to_o the_o whole_a creation_n but_o to_o all_o mankind_n the_o chief_a part_n thereof_o as_o before_o be_v prove_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o all_o have_v a_o right_a to_o eternal_a life_n answ_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v possess_v of_o it_o for_o so_o it_o be_v the_o saint_n only_o by_o faith_n they_o therefore_o may_v leap_v for_o joy_n in_o all_o their_o suffering_n which_o none_o else_o can_v the_o second_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a be_v their_o sanctification_n or_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o this_o righteousness_n be_v they_o and_o they_o only_o the_o first_o righteousness_n be_v wrought_v by_o christ_n only_o and_o alone_o personal_o consider_v and_o be_v receive_v by_o the_o saint_n as_o the_o eye_n receive_v the_o light_n and_o so_o their_o own_o the_o second_o righteousness_n be_v their_o own_o actual_o wrought_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o not_o by_o christ_n person_n only_o his_o spirit_n do_v assist_v they_o right_o to_o operate_v but_o the_o operation_n be_v their_o own_o as_o proceed_v from_o their_o own_o counsel_n and_o voluntary_a choice_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o righteous_a as_o agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o no_o further_o the_o apostle_n command_v the_o saint_n to_o work_v out_o their_o own_o salvation_n object_n that_o be_v salvation_n as_o to_o themselves_o with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a 13._o ph●l_n 1.12_o 13._o therefore_o their_o own_o work_n attain_v to_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v their_o salvation_n salvation_n in_o the_o object_n be_v one_o thing_n answ_n but_o in_o the_o subject_a another_o thing_n salvation_n in_o the_o object_n be_v god_n gift_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o pardon_v of_o sin_n reach_v to_o man_n in_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n salvation_n in_o the_o subject_n be_v when_o a_o man_n by_o faith_n or_o belief_n be_v possess_v of_o that_o gift_n of_o impute_a righteousness_n in_o which_o be_v contain_v pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n only_o therefore_o all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v but_o to_o be_v more_o and_o more_o possess_v of_o that_o gift_n of_o eternal_a life_n by_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o grace_n and_o in_o union_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o to_o their_o brethren_n under_o the_o same_o capacity_n but_o if_o it_o be_v object_v object_n that_o james_n affirm_v that_o abraham_n and_o rahab_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n i_o answer_v answ_n james_n enveigh_v against_o those_o that_o brag_v of_o their_o faith_n without_o work_n as_o to_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n he_o conclude_v their_o faith_n to_o be_v dead_a and_o because_o the_o say_v twofold_a righteousness_n in_o the_o saint_n be_v ever_o distinct_a and_o yet_o never_o separate_v therefore_o of_o abraham_n and_o rahab_n and_o all_o right_a believer_n james_n may_v safe_o conclude_v they_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n as_o abraham_n in_o offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o rahab_n by_o receive_v the_o spy_n but_o to_o avoid_v mistake_n in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o work_n because_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o promiscuous_o attribute_n justification_n to_o the_o saint_n work_n sometime_o to_o faith_n and_o sometime_o to_o christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v remember_v this_o rule_n as_o a_o ground_n in_o this_o point_n for_o our_o direction_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v speak_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o communication_n of_o property_n as_o for_o example_n our_o lord_n attribute_n that_o to_o the_o eye_n which_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o it_o say_v the_o eye_n be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o the_o eye_n have_v no_o light_n in_o itself_o to_o enlighten_v the_o body_n but_o he_o attribute_n that_o to_o the_o eye_n which_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o the_o light_n because_o the_o eye_n receive_v the_o light_n into_o the_o body_n so_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v say_v that_o work_v save_v faith_n save_v and_o christ_n save_v attribute_v that_o to_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o another_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o connexion_n in_o this_o point_n of_o justification_n by_o this_o rule_n of_o communication_n of_o property_n so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n redeem_v the_o church_n with_o his_o blood_n yet_o god_n bleed_v not_o but_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o divine_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o personal_a union_n so_o in_o this_o point_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o near_a connexive_a relation_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n which_o be_v the_o object_n and_o the_o will_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o saint_n together_o with_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n to_o christ_n therefore_o it_o be_v thus_o promiscuous_o attribute_v each_o to_o other_o wherefore_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n from_o the_o force_n of_o divine_a truth_n while_o he_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v justification_n by_o the_o saint_n own_o work_n yet_o conclude_v that_o to_o cleave_v to_o christ_n righteousness_n as_o to_o justification_n be_v the_o safe_a way_n as_o be_v affirm_v by_o divine_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o right_a aspect_n of_o christ_n impute_a righteousness_n which_o he_o labour_v to_o make_v void_a in_o those_o dark_a time_n it_o may_v be_v that_o implicit_a aspect_n may_v stand_v he_o in_o as_o much_o stead_n to_o pardon_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o salvation_n as_o but_o a_o glimpse_n of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n body_n which_o have_v be_v bite_v with_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n he_o render_v this_o
