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 Vindiciæ 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

apostle_n ascribe_v more_o to_o faith_n then_o to_o work_n therefore_o faith_n do_v more_o than_o evidence_n justification_n the_o consequence_n be_v evident_a because_o work_n may_v evidence_n justification_n nay_o work_n be_v of_o a_o more_o declarative_a evidence_a nature_n then_o faith_n hence_o the_o truth_n of_o faith_n be_v evidence_v by_o work_n not_o only_o to_o other_o but_o to_o ourselves_o and_o that_o work_v evidence_n this_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v apparent_a rom._n 8.1_o 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 after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n by_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v pass_v etc._n etc._n 3.14_o 1_o john_n 3.14_o now_o the_o assumption_n i_o confirm_v thus_o that_o the_o apostle_n attribute_n more_o to_o faith_n then_o to_o work_n because_o the_o scripture_n no_o where_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n in_o his_o blood_n but_o it_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o justification_n by_o faith_n he_o mean_v of_o a_o justification_n before_o god_n as_o in_o that_o three_o to_o the_o roman_n he_o conclude_v by_o a_o sound_a argument_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o not_o before_o conscience_n thus_o if_o all_o have_v sin_v and_o be_v come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v inherent_o wicked_a than_o we_o be_v
