A97227 Vnbeleevers no subjects of iustification, nor of mystical vnion to Christ, being the sum of a sermon preached at New Sarum, with a vindication of it from the objections, and calumniations cast upon it by Mr. William Eyre, in his VindiciƦ justificationis. Together with animadversions upon the said book, and a refutation of that anti-sidian, and anti-evangelical errour asserted therein: viz. the justification of infidels, or the justification of a sinner before, and without faith. Wherein also the conditional necessity, and instrumentality of faith unto justification, together with the consistency of it, with the freness of Gods grace, is explained, confirmed, and vindicated from the exceptions of the said Mr. Eyre, his arguments answertd [sic], his authorities examined, and brought in against himself. By T. Warren minister of the Gospel at Houghton in Hampshire. Warren, Thomas, 1616 or 17-1694. 1654 (1654) Wing W980; Thomason E733_10; ESTC R206901 226,180 282

the_o instrumental_a without_o the_o other_o but_o all_o three_o conjoin_v constitute_v a_o person_n actual_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o whereas_o they_o argue_v that_o those_o

three_o argument_n against_o this_o which_o be_v a_o chief_a cornerstone_n in_o the_o antinomian_o building_n 1._o that_o that_o do_v change_n and_o alter_v the_o state_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o put_v he_o into_o a_o new_a condition_n in_o refrence_n to_o god_n that_o do_v more_o than_o evidential_o justify_v but_o faith_n do_v thus_o alter_v the_o state_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o the_o major_n be_v above_o contradiction_n the_o minor_a be_v no_o less_o true_a which_o i_o prove_v thus_o if_o before_o faith_n a_o mna_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o damnation_n and_o upon_o believe_v he_o be_v put_v into_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o before_o god_n than_o faith_n do_v real_o alter_v and_o change_v a_o man_n estate_n before_o god_n but_o before_o faith_n a_o man_n be_v under_o condemnation_n and_o upon_o faith_n deliver_v from_o it_o ergo._n mr._n eyre_n his_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o the_o law_n do_v condemn_v he_o but_o god_n d●d_v not_o to_o which_o i_o reply_v if_o the_o law_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o receive_v all_o its_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o god_n then_o when_o the_o law_n condemn_v than_o god_n condemn_v but_o the_o law_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o have_v all_o its_o force_n and_o efficacy_n from_o the_o will_n of_o god_n now_o look_v what_o answer_n he_o have_v give_v to_o mr._n woodbridge_n which_o you_o may_v see_v 6._o

the_o aposle_n deny_v to_o work_n he_o attribute_n to_o faith_n therefore_o faith_n have_v a_o influence_n into_o justification_n which_o work_n have_v not_o from_o whence_o i_o argue_v if_o faith_n do_v only_o declarative_o justify_v the_o sinner_n than_o faith_n do_v no_o more_o towards_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n than_o work_v because_o work_n may_v evidence_n my_o justification_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n but_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n faith_n contribute_v more_o to_o justification_n then_o work_v ergo._n the_o proof_n of_o the_o consequence_n that_o work_n may_v evidence_n justification_n will_v appear_v from_o 8.1_o from_o rom._n 8.1_o rom._n 8.1_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o walk_v not_o

beside_o the_o controversy_n between_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o justiciaries_n of_o his_o time_n be_v not_o whether_o faith_n or_o work_n do_v evidence_n our_o justication_n but_o by_o what_o we_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v that_o that_o make_v the_o apostle_n to_o assert_v a_o untruth_n that_o interpretation_n can_v be_v true_a but_o if_o the_o
