A30137	A defence of the doctrine of justification, by faith in Jesus Christ: shewing, true Gospel-holiness flows from thence. Or, Mr. Fowler's pretended design of Christianity, proved to be nothing more then to trample under foot the blood of the Son of God and the idolizing of man's own righteousness. As also, how while he pretends to be a minister of the Church of England, he overthroweth the wholesom doctrine contained in the 10th. 11th. and 13th. of the Thirty Nine Articles of the same, and that he falleth in with the Quaker, and Romanist, against them. By John Bunyan.	Bunyan, John, 1628-1688.	1673 (1673)	Wing B5508; ESTC R215886	107,458	132

to_o be_v true_o christian_n those_o that_o follow_v jesus_n in_o his_o spirit_n must_v first_o receive_v that_o spirit_n from_o heaven_n which_o spirit_n be_v receive_v as_o i_o have_v often_o say_v

that_o be_v find_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o you_o add_v far_o what_o good_a ground_n can_v man_n have_v for_o this_o fancy_n when_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v merit_v the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n for_o this_o end_n that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o effectual_a motive_n to_o turn_v from_o it_o answ._n although_o you_o speak_v this_o in_o great_a derision_n to_o faith_n when_o it_o work_v right_a yet_o know_v that_o therefore_o see_v you_o will_v hear_v it_o i_o say_v therefore_o have_v our_o saviour_n merit_v pardon_v and_o bestow_v it_o on_o man_n free_o and_o bid_v they_o believe_v or_o receive_v it_o and_o have_v it_o that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o live_v to_o he_o and_o love_v he_o and_o comply_v with_o his_o commandment_n for_o scarce_o for_o a_o righteous_a man_n will_v one_o die_v yet_o for_o peradventure_o for_o a_o good_a man_n some_o will_v even_o dare_v to_o die_v but_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o while_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o much_o more_o than_o be_v now_o justify_v we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o wrath_n through_o he_o now_o as_o here_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n that_o be_v as_o his_o blood_n appease_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n so_o again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o blood_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o god_n for_o we_o to_o have_v faith_n in_o it_o by_o the_o term_n of_o a_o propitiation_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n or_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o appease_v the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v at_o this_o time_n his_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v be_v just_o and_o the_o justifier_n of_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n rom._n 3._o again_o as_o we_o be_v thus_o justify_v by_o blood_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o it_o so_o also_o it_o be_v testify_v of_o his_o blood_n that_o it_o sprinkle_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o faithful_a but_o still_o only_o as_o it_o be_v receive_v by_o faith_n but_o from_o what_o be_v the_o conscience_n sprinkle_v but_o from_o those_o dead_a work_n that_o remain_v in_o all_o that_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o this_o blood_n now_o if_o faith_n in_o this_o blood_n do_v sprinkle_v the_o conscience_n and_o so_o do_v purge_v it_o from_o all_o dead_a work_n then_o must_v faith_n go_v first_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o justification_n and_o must_v bring_v this_o home_n to_o the_o defile_v conscience_n before_o it_o be_v deliver_v from_o those_o dead_a work_n that_o be_v

now_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n viz._n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n which_o you_o thus_o expound_v it_o consist_v in_o deal_v with_o sincere_o righteous_a

will_v know_v how_o sincere_o righteous_a they_o be_v that_o be_v justify_v without_o work_n or_o how_o sincere_o righteous_a they_o be_v who_o god_n justify_v as_o ungodly_a rom._n 4._o 3_o 4_o 5._o 2._o your_o explication_n of_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n make_v it_o respect_v our_o work_n rather_o than_o our_o person_n it_o consist_v say_v you_o in_o deal_v with_o sincere_o righteous_a person_n as_o if_o they_o be_v perfect_o so_o that_o be_v it_o justify_v their_o imperfect_a righteousness_n first_o and_o so_o secondary_o their_o person_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o that_o but_o observe_v a_o few_o thing_n from_o this_o explication_n 1._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a in_o god_n account_n without_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o be_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o such_o and_o none_o but_o such_o 2._o th●_n conclude_v that_o man_n may_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a before_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v impute_v for_o this_o sincere_a righteousness_n be_v precedent_n to_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n 3._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v true_a yea_o save_v grace_n in_o great_a and_o mighty_a action_n in_o he_o before_o he_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ._n for_o if_o a_o man_n must_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a first_o then_o he_o must_v not_o only_o have_v that_o we_o call_v the_o habit_n but_o the_o powerful_a act_n of_o grace_n beside_o if_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v to_o first_o but_o secondary_o not_o before_o but_o after_o we_o be_v make_v sincere_o righteous_a then_o may_v not_o faith_n be_v thus_o act_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v it_o until_o he_o be_v first_o a_o sincere_o righteous_a person_n 4._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bring_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n in_o god_n sight_n before_o he_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n yea_o before_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o he_o that_o in_o god_n account_n be_v reckon_v sincere_o righteous_a be_v belove_v of_o his_o god_n 5._o this_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n without_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o a_o man_n must_v be_v sincere_o righteous_a in_o god_n account_n without_o it_o than_o he_o be_v from_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n without_o it_o 6._o this_o doctrine_n teach_v far_a that_o christ_n come_v to_o call_v and_o justify_v the_o righteous_a contrary_a to_o his_o express_a word_n in_o short_a by_o this_o account_n of_o thing_n first_o we_o must_v be_v heal_v and_o then_o the_o plaster_n come_v yea_o so_o confident_a be_v this_o man_n in_o this_o his_o assertion_n that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a any_o other_o notion_n of_o this_o doctrine_n shall_v have_v truth_n in_o it_o pag._n 226._o o_o this_o jesus_n this_o rock_n of_o offence_n but_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v confound_v but_o bless_v be_v god_n for_o jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o that_o he_o take_v our_o nature_n and_o sin_n and_o curse_v and_o death_n upon_o he_o and_o for_o that_o he_o do_v also_o by_o himself_o by_o one_o offer_v purge_v our_o sin_n we_o that_o have_v believe_v have_v find_v rest_n even_o there_o where_o god_n and_o his_o father_n have_v smell_v a_o sweet_a savour_n of_o rest_n because_o we_o be_v present_v to_o god_n even_o now_o complete_a in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o he_o and_o stand_v discharge_v of_o guilt_n even_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o he_o yea_o as_o sin_n past_a so_o sin_v to_o come_v be_v take_v up_o and_o satisfy_v for_o by_o that_o offering_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n we_o who_o have_v have_v a_o due_a sense_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n we_o know_v that_o no_o remission_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o any_o one_o can_v be_v but_o by_o atonement_n make_v by_o blood_n heb._n 9_o 22._o we_o also_o know_v that_o where_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n be_v want_v there_o can_v be_v neither_o good_a principle_n nor_o good_a endeavour_n 14._o for_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o grace_n and_o without_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o sin_n we_o know_v also_o that_o faith_n as_o a_o grace_n in_o we_o sever_v from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v only_o a_o beholder_n of_o thing_n but_o not_o a_o justifier_n of_o person_n and_o that_o if_o it_o lay_v not_o hold_v of_o and_o apply_v not_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n it_o carry_v we_o no_o far_o then_o to_o the_o devil_n we_o know_v that_o this_o doctrine_n kill_v sin_n 10._o and_o curse_v it_o at_o the_o very_a root_n i_o say_v we_o know_v it_o who_o have_v mourn_v over_o he_o who_o we_o have_v pierce_v and_o who_o have_v be_v confound_v to_o see_v that_o god_n by_o his_o blood_n shall_v be_v pacify_v towards_o we_o 63_o for_o all_o the_o wickedness_n we_o have_v do_v yea_o we_o have_v a_o double_a motive_n to_o be_v holy_a and_o humble_a before_o he_o one_o because_o be_v die_v for_o
