A26938	How far holinesse is the design of Christianity where the nature of holiness and morality is opened, and the doctrine of justification, imputation of sin and righteousness, &c. partly cleared, and vindicated from abuse : in certain propositions, returned to an unknown person, referring to Mr. Fowlers treatise on this subject / by Richard Baxter.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1671 (1671)	Wing B1282; ESTC R6861	14,037	25

60._o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o god_n to_o hate_v a_o holy_a soul_n that_o love_v he_o as_o god_n and_o bear_v his_o holy_a image_n 61._o yet_o be_v his_o holiness_n no_o satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o unholy_a state_n or_o for_o his_o imperfection_n 62._o if_o you_o ask_v what_o then_o will_v god_n have_v do_v with_o one_o thus_o convert_v if_o he_o have_v no_o saviour_n to_o ransom_v he_o from_o justice_n for_o his_o sin_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o supposition_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v put_v because_o no_o man_n be_v convert_v and_o sanctify_v that_o have_v not_o a_o saviour_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o none_o but_o christ_n can_v first_o merit_n and_o then_o give_v the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n which_o

or_o seneca_n augustine_n or_o chrysostom_n luther_n or_o calvin_n be_v as_o much_o saviour_n as_o christ_n so_o far_o as_o their_o doctrine_n make_v man_n holy_a for_o neither_o philosopher_n nor_o divine_v preach_v any_o good_a doctrine_n but_o what_o christ_n as_o the_o mediator_n and_o light_n of_o the_o world_n do_v some_o way_n or_o other_o communicate_v to_o they_o so_o that_o their_o doctrine_n that_o be_v good_a be_v not_o their_o own_o but_o he_o even_a they_o that_o know_v he_o not_o it_o be_v not_o they_o but_o he_o that_o merit_v all_o grace_n and_o that_o preserve_v the_o

from_o the_o sun_n which_o of_o they_o but_o christ_n have_v purchase_v and_o give_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o condemn_a world_n and_o which_o of_o they_o but_o christ_n send_v forth_o with_o their_o doctrine_n a_o quicken_a illuminate_v and_o sanctify_a spirit_n to_o overcome_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o the_o flesh_n 64._o while_o all_o sober_a divine_n thus_o plead_v for_o holiness_n and_o censure_v one_o another_o doctrine_n as_o unholy_a and_o countenance_v sin_n it_o plain_o show_v that_o they_o be_v very_o much_o at_o unity_n in_o the_o main_a but_o that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o word_n and_o methodize_v their_o notion_n right_o and_o to_o make_v all_o fall_n right_a with_o the_o end_n and_o main_a matter_n which_o they_o be_v agree_v in_o and_o when_o we_o hear_v man_n accuse_v each_o other_o of_o unholy_a and_o sinful_a opinion_n and_o practice_n though_o we_o must_v hate_v the_o ignorance_n pride_n and_o uncharitableness_n which_o be_v in_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o comfort_n to_o we_o to_o hear_v and_o read_v that_o they_o all_o agree_v to_o cry_v down_o sin_n in_o the_o general_a and_o to_o disgrace_v it_o and_o that_o they_o all_o bear_v so_o conjunct_a a_o testimony_n for_o the_o excellency_n and_o necessity_n of_o holiness_n what_o hope_n be_v there_o then_o that_o if_o we_o can_v set_v all_o our_o tackle_n together_o and_o see_v truth_n fall_v right_a in_o their_o several_a place_n we_o may_v unite_v our_o force_n against_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o ungodliness_n and_o may_v give_v over_o destroy_a
