say_v and_o only_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o weight_n but_o first_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o show_v how_o we_o understand_v this_o question_n 1._o in_o what_o capacity_n christ_n

by_o good_a work_n so_o the_o apostle_n paul_n often_o speak_v of_o save_a faith_n and_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o better_a argument_n of_o each_o other_o truth_n of_o faith_n than_o the_o fruit_n grow_v upon_o the_o tree_n this_o be_v without_o question_n to_o v._o 19_o 2._o he_o prove_v it_o in_o that_o they_o be_v true_a believer_n have_v a_o double_a justification_n 1_o by_o faith_n only_o and_o here_o he_o concur_v with_o paul_n concern_v his_o justification_n before_o god_n v._o 23._o and_o yet_o he_o have_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o wrought_v by_o love_n for_o the_o scripture_n call_v he_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v a_o justification_n of_o a_o person_n as_o to_o a_o particular_a act_n as_o well_o as_o his_o person_n and_o state_n and_o therefore_o the_o instance_n of_o abraham_n offering_n his_o son_n and_o rahab_n be_v bring_v in_o and_o this_o be_v that_o justification_n which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v not_o so_o much_o of_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v in_o several_a case_n as_o abel_n and_o enoch_n god_n testify_v some_o way_n to_o their_o service_n in_o foro_fw-la mundi_fw-la and_o so_o job_n who_o god_n justify_v against_o the_o unjust_a charge_n of_o his_o friend_n so_o phineas_n his_o zeal_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o cosbi_n that_o seem_v a_o rash_a and_o mutinous_a piece_n of_o usurpation_n god_n justify_v he_o in_o it_o declare_v his_o high_a approbation_n thereof_o hence_o james_n speak_v of_o faith_n that_o accompany_v salvation_n at_o large_a and_o condemn_v that_o as_o false_a and_o hypocritical_a that_o be_v not_o fruitful_a 2._o he_o speak_v of_o justification_n at_o large_a which_o be_v by_o faith_n in_o foro_fw-la divino_fw-la before_o god_n and_o in_o foro_fw-la humano_fw-la before_o man_n by_o work_n and_o fruit_n of_o faith_n that_o in_o foro_fw-la divino_fw-la be_v by_o faith_n only_o without_o work_n 1._o in_o that_o he_o say_v no_o work_n of_o we_o can_v answer_v god_n law_n v._o 10._o he_o that_o keep_v or_o pretend_v to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n be_v guilty_a of_o all_o whence_o arise_v this_o unanswerable_a argument_n they_o that_o can_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n without_o offend_v in_o out_o point_n can_v never_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o work_n but_o none_o can_v do_v so_o ergo._n 2._o he_o assert_v justification_n by_o faith_n before_o god_n in_o the_o instance_n of_o abraham_n faith_n use_v the_o same_o expression_n and_o do_v not_o deny_v this_o to_o be_v true_a justification_n and_o full_a before_o god_n but_o only_o abraham_n bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n before_o man_n from_o his_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n he_o be_v call_v the_o friend_n of_o god_n thus_o god_n justify_v he_o in_o his_o obedience_n as_o a_o true_a believer_n ergo_fw-la he_o conclude_v as_o all_o true_a faith_n so_o true_a justify_v faith_n have_v such_o fruit_n 3._o james_n show_v how_o god_n often_o bear_v witness_n and_o approve_v of_o particular_a action_n which_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o condemn_v such_o as_o abraham_n offer_v up_o his_o

by_o god_n as_o gospel-works_a and_o thus_o you_o have_v the_o full_a scope_n of_o james_n not_o contradict_v the_o apostle_n paul_n at_o all_o but_o speak_v only_o of_o another_o justification_n in_o foro_fw-la humano_fw-la in_o the_o effect_n that_o man_n see_v and_o the_o approbation_n that_o god_n give_v §_o 6._o hence_o i_o answer_v mr._n cl._n who_o say_v the_o same_o justification_n be_v

when_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o same_o person_n justification_n by_o work_n it_o intend_v only_o god_n declaration_n of_o his_o approbation_n of_o the_o particular_a act_n of_o obedience_n and_o bear_a
