not_o perceive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n nor_o know_v they_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o what_o i_o say_v that_o christ_n jesus_n light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v in_o the_o world_n

and_o that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n that_o christ_n wrought_v without_o who_o believe_v not_o nor_o be_v convert_v to_o god_n but_o in_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n this_o

the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n unsanctified_a be_v not_o justify_v but_o condemn_v so_o none_o be_v justi_v by_o a_o righteousness_n without_o they_o but_o they_o

also_o i_o do_v justify_v if_o any_o work_n be_v wrought_v by_o we_o in_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o in_o our_o own_o strength_n than_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o the_o work_n of_o god_n own_o righteousness_n and_o that_o no_o work_n or_o word_n be_v justify_v but_o what_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n lead_v unto_o and_o though_o p._n t._n

do_v ask_v he_o which_o he_o have_v ignorant_o affirm_v in_o his_o relation_n whether_o that_o righteousness_n which_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o in_o his_o strength_n and_o power_n and_o not_o in_o our_o own_o be_v call_v our_o righteousness_n which_o he_o seem_v to_o answer_v but_o he_o have_v misunderstand_v my_o word_n for_o i_o mean_v not_o we_o by_o enjoyment_n but_o we_o in_o the_o sense_n the_o prophet_n speak_v when_o he_o say_v our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n i_o know_v the_o righteousness_n that_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n be_v we_o by_o enjoyment_n in_o the_o second_o adam_n as_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o we_o but_o not_o we_o in_o the_o first_o adam_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o state_n not_o convert_v and_o that_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o query_n where_o that_o righteousness_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o strength_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o in_o our_o own_o be_v call_v our_o righteousness_n we_o as_o in_o the_o first_o adam_n but_o i_o see_v thou_o have_v not_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o my_o query_n for_o weakness_n of_o understanding_n and_o then_o how_o shall_v thou_o right_o answer_v it_o also_o i_o query_v how_o christ_n work_v righteousness_n in_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n not_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n can_v be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n which_o he_o have_v affirm_v now_o i_o mean_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o not_o in_o the_o spirit_n i_o know_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n both_o in_o we_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o fulfil_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n by_o christ_n in_o we_o but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o flesh_n wrought_v by_o we_o as_o unborn_a again_o but_o to_o this_o thou_o have_v not_o answer_v but_o have_v answer_v thy_o own_o conceive_n and_o not_o the_o innocency_n of_o my_o query_n and_o whereas_o he_o stumble_v and_o be_v offend_v because_o i_o say_v no_o man_n be_v justify_v in_o any_o word_n or_o work_v but_o what_o they_o be_v lead_v unto_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o those_o word_n and_o work_v the_o spirit_n lead_v unto_o be_v justify_v and_o no_o other_o word_n or_o work_n and_o from_o this_o he_o will_v false_o conjecture_v i_o hold_v a_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o by_o something_o without_o or_o beside_o that_o which_o christ_n wrought_v without_o i_o say_v no_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n live_a be_v justify_v but_o yet_o he_o that_o move_v and_o lead_v into_o word_n and_o work_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n the_o same_o do_v justify_v the_o creature_n in_o the_o word_n and_o work_n which_o he_o be_v lead_v unto_o and_o this_o be_v not_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o apostle_n word_n which_o he_o seem_v to_o bring_v against_o i_o rom._n 5.8_o 9_o while_o we_o be_v sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o much_o more_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n we_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o the_o wrath_n this_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o what_o i_o say_v for_o we_o do_v own_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n to_o justify_v but_o yet_o not_o such_o who_o be_v not_o cleanse_v by_o it_o and_o lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n into_o all_o truth_n but_o it_o be_v they_o that_o be_v justify_v only_o who_o be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n by_o the_o spirit_n such_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o save_v from_o wrath_n who_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o immortal_a word_n but_o they_o that_o remain_v in_o sin_n be_v not_o justify_v nor_o save_v from_o wrath_n then_o he_o query_v whether_o i_o shut_v pardon_n of_o sin_n out_o of_o door_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o they_o that_o be_v lead_v into_o all_o truth_n by_o the_o spirit_n their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o forgive_v and_o remember_v no_o more_o but_o blot_v out_o and_o can_v be_v read_v for_o they_o be_v cleanse_v from_o it_o and_o commit_v not_o sin_n then_o he_o ask_v whether_o i_o grant_v two_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n the_o one_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o other_o inherent_a righteousness_n i_o say_v both_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n be_v in_o god_n his_o free_a love_n and_o mercy_n which_o be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n and_o they_o receive_v the_o work_n of_o it_o and_o the_o gift_n of_o it_o that_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o effect_n
all_o opposer_n that_o the_o saint_n may_v wait_v for_o and_o witness_v upon_o earth_n to_o have_v power_n over_o sin_n and_o over_o its_o temptation_n and_o free_a from_o the_o commit_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n live_v and_o dwell_v in_o they_o and_o thus_o must_v thou_o believe_v p._n t._n or_o else_o thou_o believe_v not_o scripture_n nor_o that_o any_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n or_o abide_v in_o christ_n if_o thou_o believe_v not_o that_o then_o confess_v thou_o err_v in_o judgement_n who_o be_v unbelieve_v of_o what_o the_o scripture_n bear_v witness_n of_o therefore_o tell_v i_o plain_o if_o thou_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o abide_v in_o christ_n then_o must_v thou_o believe_v such_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n else_o thou_o deny_v the_o scripture_n and_o what_o i_o hold_v forth_o herein_o i_o do_v not_o contradict_v the_o apostle_n nor_o solomon_n word_n for_o its_o true_a the_o apostle_n say_v if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o but_o be_v thou_o so_o blind_a that_o thou_o do_v not_o see_v he_o speak_v there_o of_o a_o state_n before_o confession_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o next_o word_n say_v the_o apostle_n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n so_o i_o do_v agree_v with_o the_o apostle_n word_n and_o do_v not_o contradict_v they_o for_o i_o do_v say_v if_o any_o say_v they_o have_v no_o sin_n before_o they_o do_v confess_v their_o sin_n and_o forsake_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v cleanse_v from_o it_o i_o say_v they_o be_v liar_n and_o the_o truth_n not_o in_o they_o and_o i_o also_o say_v if_o that_o after_o a_o man_n have_v confess_v his_o sin_n and_o be_v cleanse_v from_o it_o and_o have_v his_o sin_n forgive_v he_o and_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n i_o say_v he_o speak_v the_o truth_n also_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o he_o and_o though_o solomon_n do_v say_v there_o be_v not_o a_o just_a man_n upon_o earth_n that_o do_v good_a and_o sin_n not_o yet_o be_v my_o affirmation_n true_a notwithstanding_o for_o solomon_n forget_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o heart_n go_v after_o many_o strange_a woman_n and_o become_v a_o transgressor_n and_o in_o that_o state_n do_v not_o know_v the_o birth_n bear_v of_o god_n which_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n for_o he_o be_v but_o under_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v not_o make_v perfect_a as_o pertain_v to_o the_o conscience_n and_o paradventure_o in_o that_o state_n he_o be_v err_v from_o god_n he_o do_v not_o see_v any_o that_o do_v not_o sin_n these_o thing_n will_v be_v plain_a to_o some_o though_o perhaps_o thou_o may_v shut_v thy_o eye_n against_o they_o and_o solomon_n be_v not_o our_o example_n in_o conversation_n i_o be_o sure_a nor_o hardly_o in_o doctrine_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v weigh_v thy_o text_n which_o thou_o seem_v to_o say_v before_o i_o have_v not_o weigh_v and_o my_o principle_n be_v prove_v sound_a and_o thou_o and_o thou_o too_o light_a and_o the_o wind_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v scatter_v they_o and_o p._n t._n confess_v every_o real_a hearted_a christian_n may_v be_v and_o be_v in_o scripture_n call_v perfect_a reply_n then_o wherefore_o do_v he_o

he_o here_o guilty_a in_o that_o he_o charge_v i_o false_o pag._n the_o 21._o of_o his_o last_o with_o go_v round_n like_o unto_o a_o horse_n in_o a_o mill_n who_o sometime_o deny_v perfection_n and_o

and_o also_o the_o victory_n over_o it_o and_o so_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v but_o by_o guess_n from_o other_o man_n word_n and_o then_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o he_o err_v in_o judgement_n ●nd_v

so_o high_a that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o addition_n be_v a_o query_n my_o soul_n say_v he_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o enter_v into_o his_o secret_n in_o this_o thing_n because_o my_o word_n be_v many_o of_o the_o saint_n etc._n etc._n reply_n my_o first_o word_n it_o seem_v he_o can_v contradict_v but_o own_v they_o to_o be_v true_a so_o i_o need_v not_o defend_v they_o only_o he_o suppose_v
