the_o cause_n of_o our_o division_n answ._n 3._o although_o brethren_n from_o a_o zeal_n for_o peace_n condescend_v to_o mention_v but_o three_o particular_n in_o the_o three_o paper_n yet_o it_o be_v

justification_n they_o have_v this_o our_o paper_n of_o ninety_o four_o before_o they_o and_o therefore_o must_v know_v that_o we_o insist_v under_o that_o head_n to_o have_v it_o clear_o express_v that_o none_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n or_o entitle_v to_o eternal_a life_n before_o they_o be_v effectual_o call_v or_o whilst_o they_o be_v unregenerate_a or_o in_o unbelief_n

in_o that_o first_o paper_n sufficient_a to_o this_o purpose_n by_o the_o reporter_n argue_v against_o we_o their_o not_o mention_v those_o thing_n be_v their_o disow_n of_o they_o and_o own_v the_o

what_o be_v omit_v by_o we_o be_v not_o send_v to_o we_o much_o less_o to_o that_o end_n nor_o adjust_v by_o our_o appointment_n but_o we_o need_v not_o to_o insist_v on_o this_o when_o by_o compare_v the_o first_o and_o three_o paper_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o foresay_a error_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o few_o variation_n in_o our_o paper_n but_o very_o consistent_a with_o they_o though_o not_o in_o the_o sense_n design_v by_o our_o subscribe_v brethren_n in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o head_n of_o justification_n their_o paper_n say_v repentance_n faith_n and_o a_o

for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o divine_a justice_n that_o whoever_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v be_v acquit_v and_o save_v but_o it_o be_v not_o intend_v that_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n be_v upon_o

have_v affirm_v and_o explain_v a_o change_n of_o person_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o grotius_n and_o the_o reverend_n dr._n stillingfleet_n bishop_n of_o worcester_n have_v do_v as_o will_v appear_v to_o any_o who_o consult_v those_o author_n but_o they_o be_v far_o from_o approve_v the_o crispian_n explication_n of_o that_o phrase_n as_o we_o shall_v evidence_n by_o a_o letter_n of_o
