A64243	The true light shining in darkness and dispelling the mists of errour arising from the darkness of man's heart, &c. promoted by the prince of darkness against the truth of God; in the matter of our justification: shewing, that by the deeds of the law, or mans own righteousness, no flesh can or shall be justified in the sight of God. The first part. By Tho. Taylor, the meanest and unworthiest of the servants and ministers of Jesus Christ; and now pastor to a small congregational church in Cambridge.

faith_n and_o grace_n so_o that_o as_o before_o justification_n every_o man_n be_v real_o a_o guilty_a and_o unrighteous_a person_n in_o god_n sight_n so_o now_o that_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v

state_n from_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o unrighteousness_n and_o death_n to_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n righteousness_n and_o life_n now_o therefore_o he_o that_o be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n be_v from_o eternity_n in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n righteousness_n and_o life_n and_o never_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n unrighteousness_n and_o death_n he_o never_o be_v a_o sinner_n

his_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o righteousness_n and_o rom._n 5.6_o for_o when_o we_o be_v yet_o without_o strength_n in_o due_a time_n christ_n die_v for_o the_o ungodly_a and_o v_o 21._o that_o as_o sin_n have_v reign_v unto_o death_n even_o so_o may_v grace_n reign_v through_o righteousness_n unto_o eternal_a life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n so_o that_o we_o who_o be_v now_o justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v without_o strength_n be_v ungodly_a be_v under_o the_o reign_n of_o sin_n unto_o death_n but_o he_o that_o be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n be_v never_o any_o of_o these_o and_o therefore_o no_o man_n be_v or_o can_v be_v justify_v from_o eternity_n there_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o this_o doctrine_n be_v

unto_o life_n in_o any_o from_o eternity_n but_o in_o time_n part._n 4._o this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n from_o eternity_n destroy_v also_o the_o doctrine_n of_o adoption_n which_o

also_o be_v declare_v through_o faith_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n rom._n 9.30_o and_o rom._n 10.4_o john_n 5.24_o and_o 1_o john_n 4.14_o now_o he_o that_o say_v he_o be_v justify_v from_o

even_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o other_o as_o 2_o cor._n 5.14_o and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o all_o the_o elect_n do_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o in_o a_o state_n of_o death_n jew_n and_o gentile_n for_o else_o christ_n need_v not_o to_o have_v die_v for_o they_o and_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n do_v constrain_v all_o they_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o therefore_o be_v debtor_n to_o christ_n for_o their_o life_n and_o justification_n through_o faith_n in_o he_o and_o so_o no_o more_o to_o live_v to_o themselves_o but_o to_o he_o that_o die_v for_o they_o and_o rise_v again_o the_o word_n be_v most_o plain_a and_o the_o sense_n most_o genuine_a for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o which_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o live_v unto_o themselves_o but_o unto_o he_o which_o die_v for_o they_o and_o rise_v again_o therefore_o see_v they_o be_v once_o dead_a

psam_fw-la 130.3_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v add_v in_o his_o sight_n to_o show_v that_o whatsoever_o man_n may_v be_v in_o his_o own_o sight_n or_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o other_o man_n like_o himself_o yet_o in_o god_n sight_n no_o flesh_n shall_v or_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o as_o in_o condemnation_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n first_o a_o fix_v of_o the_o gild_n and_o therefore_o we_o say_v when_o a_o person_n be_v find_v guilty_a he_o be_v condemn_v so_o rom._n 3.19_o that_o every_o mouth_n may_v be_v stop_v and_o all_o the_o world_n become_v

he_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n because_o the_o obligation_n unto_o punishment_n be_v now_o fix_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o must_v inevitable_o suffer_v death_n which_o be_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o his_o offence_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n employ_v in_o justification_n first_o a_o just_a discharge_n and_o acquitment_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n he_o that_o be_v justify_v be_v not_o guilty_a in_o god_n sight_n his_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v to_o he_o and_o ps._n 32_o 1_o 2._o where_o david_n describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o a_o justify_v person_n say_v bless_a be_v he_o who_o transgression_n be_v forgive_v who_o sin_n be_v cover_v unto_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v not_o iniquity_n 3_o there_o be_v also_o a_o dissolve_v and_o make_v void_a and_o null_n the_o obligation_n unto_o punishment_n so_o that_o a_o justify_v person_n be_v no_o more_o in_o danger_n of_o that_o death_n which_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n nor_o of_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a wrath_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o punishment_n due_a to_o sin_n to_o every_o sin_n the_o least_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a therefore_o as_o condemnation_n be_v call_v death_n because_o of_o the_o obligation_n unto_o punishment_n so_o justification_n be_v call_v life_n because_o of_o the_o dissolve_v and_o make_v void_a that_o obligation_n so_o john_n 5.24_o where_o the_o believer_n be_v say_v to_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n i._n e._n from_o a_o state_n of_o condemnation_n which_o be_v death_n to_o a_o

pardon_n of_o sin_n make_v a_o man_n no_o more_o a_o sinner_n nor_o guilty_a before_o god_n yet_o to_o make_v he_o a_o righteous_a person_n in_o god_n sight_n there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v a_o positive_a righteousness_n for_o as_o it_o can_v consist_v with_o the_o perfect_a justice_n of_o god_n to_o justify_v a_o man_n without_o righteousness_n so_o it_o can_v consist_v with_o his_o

otherwise_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v make_v void_a even_o by_o faith_n itself_o contrary_a to_o rom._n 3.31_o and_o to_o speak_v with_o holy_a reverence_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o
