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

for_o that_o be_v evident_a from_o many_o scripture_n isa_n 42.6_o gal._n 3.16_o and_o by_o those_o place_n wherein_o the_o thing_n promise_v to_o christ_n our_o head_n and_o mediator_n be_v express_o

so_o i_o join_v with_o he_o and_o argue_v 1._o if_o god_n the_o father_n in_o his_o promise_n to_o christ_n or_o his_o covenant_n with_o he_o about_o his_o death_n and_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o do_v

of_o it_o ergo._n the_o consequence_n of_o the_o major_n can_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o suspicion_n for_o what_o god_n will_v do_v upon_o christ_n death_n he_o promise_v and_o more_o than_o he_o
