their_o several_a society_n and_o yet_o the_o vindicator_n will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o do_v hold_v communion_n with_o she_o and_o with_o one_o another_o notwithstanding_o those_o different_a term_n of_o communion_n among_o themselves_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v you_o may_v easy_o observe_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o article_n which_o difference_n i_o shall_v brief_o recapitulate_v to_o you_o in_o these_o four_o particular_n
they_o be_v make_v righteous_a when_o they_o be_v justify_v but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n rom._n iij._n and_o to_o explain_v himself_o a_o little_a after_o he_o add_v that_o grace_n will_v not_o be_v grace_n if_o it_o be_v not_o give_v free_o but_o render_v as_o a_o due_a debt_n in_o the_o same_o epistle_n i_o find_v also_o these_o word_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o in_o vain_a that_o we_o sing_v unto_o god_n his_o mercy_n shall_v prevent_v i_o and_o his_o mercy_n shall_v follow_v i_o whence_o life_n eternal_a itself_o which_o in_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v enjoy_v without_o end_n and_o therefore_o be_v render_v to_o precedent_a merit_n yet_o because_o those_o merit_n to_o which_o it_o be_v give_v be_v not_o prepare_v by_o any_o ability_n of_o we_o but_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o by_o grace_n even_o life_n eternal_a itself_o be_v call_v grace_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o it_o be_v give_v free_o not_o therefore_o because_o it_o be_v not_o give_v to_o merit_n but_o because_o those_o very_a merit_n to_o which_o it_o be_v give_v be_v themselves_o a_o gift_n these_o word_n be_v a_o inference_n from_o what_o go_v before_o where_o st._n austin_n argue_v against_o merit_n either_o before_o to_o obtain_v grace_n or_o after_o to_o deserve_v a_o reward_n these_o be_v his_o word_n what_o be_v the_o merit_n of_o man_n before_o grace_n by_o which_o he_o may_v deserve_o obtain_v grace_n when_o as_o all_o our_o merit_n be_v from_o grace_n and_o when_o he_o crown_v our_o merit_n he_o crown_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o own_o gift_n and_o from_o hence_o he_o infer_v in_o the_o word_n before_o cite_v whence_o i_o observe_v 1._o that_o all_o that_o be_v good_a in_o we_o here_o be_v owe_v to_o divine_a mercy_n prevent_v we_o 2._o that_o all_o the_o good_a we_o can_v expect_v hereafter_o must_v be_v from_o the_o same_o divine_a mercy_n follow_v we_o 3._o that_o life_n eternal_a which_o be_v the_o great_a reward_n of_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n be_v call_v grace_n 4._o that_o though_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v give_v to_o merit_n it_o be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v give_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o merit_n 5._o that_o those_o merit_n to_o which_o it_o be_v give_v be_v themselves_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o merit_n in_o the_o strict_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v not_o righteousness_n but_o pride_n in_o the_o name_n of_o righteousness_n that_o expect_v eternal_a life_n as_o a_o reward_n due_a to_o its_o deserve_n these_o be_v st._n augustine_n own_o word_n in_o the_o next_o page_n which_o direct_o contradict_v this_o definition_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n viz._n that_o a_o man_n justify_v true_o deserve_v life_n everlasting_a by_o his_o good_a work_n and_o now_o if_o the_o vindicator_n can_v make_v any_o advantage_n of_o these_o word_n of_o st._n austin_n either_o to_o himself_o or_o to_o his_o cause_n i_o shall_v not_o envy_v he_o iv_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o council_n have_v define_v that_o by_o work_n a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o and_o to_o prove_v this_o he_o allege_v jam._n ij_o 24._o where_o it_o be_v say_v you_o see_v then_o how_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n have_v be_v so_o often_o urge_v and_o all_o the_o argument_n raise_v therefrom_o so_o often_o and_o so_o miserable_o baffle_v that_o i_o wonder_v with_o what_o confidence_n this_o gentleman_n can_v bring_v it_o upon_o the_o stage_n again_o they_o have_v be_v often_o tell_v that_o st._n james_n here_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o justification_n before_o god_n but_o before_o men._n that_o as_o faith_n only_o though_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o alone_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n so_o good_a work_n do_v justify_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o faith_n and_o evidence_n the_o reality_n of_o our_o justification_n thereby_o unto_o men._n which_o interpretation_n be_v well_o warrant_v by_o st._n paul_n when_o he_o say_v if_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n then_o have_v he_o whereof_o to_o glory_v but_o not_o before_o god_n rom._n four_o 2._o i_o likewise_o profess_v that_o in_o the_o mass_n be_v offer_v a_o true_a proper_a and_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a to_o persuade_v we_o to_o a_o compliance_n herewith_o the_o vindicator_n advance_v both_o scripture_n and_o antiquity_n two_o great_a argument_n if_o well_o manage_v which_o whether_o they_o be_v or_o no_o i_o shall_v now_o examine_v 1._o he_o begin_v with_o scripture_n and_o by_o way_n of_o preface_n thereunto_o tell_v we_o that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v a_o priest_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v do_v at_o his_o last_o supper_n offer_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n after_o a_o unbloody_a manner_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n this_o be_v unhappy_o to_o stumble_v at_o the_o threshold_n for_o 1._o how_o his_o consequent_a come_v to_o be_v tack_v to_o his_o antecedent_n be_v pass_v my_o capacity_n to_o understand_v our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v make_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v therefore_o at_o his_o last_o supper_n he_o do_v offer_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n after_o a_o unbloody_a manner_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n what_o logic_n there_o be_v in_o this_o i_o be_o yet_o to_o learn._n 2._o if_o he_o do_v offer_v himself_o at_o his_o last_o supper_n to_o who_o do_v he_o do_v it_o for_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o do_v address_v himself_o or_o offer_v any_o thing_n to_o any_o but_o only_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o sure_o he_o will_v not_o say_v that_o he_o offer_v himself_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n unto_o they_o 3._o if_o he_o do_v offer_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n than_o be_v it_o not_o a_o unbloody_a sacrifice_n as_o they_o say_v it_o be_v 4._o if_o it_o be_v a_o unbloody_a sacrifice_n than_o can_v it_o not_o be_v propitiatory_a for_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n heb._n ix_o 22._o but_o the_o vindicator_n have_v good_a scripture_n for_o all_o this_o viz._n luke_n xxij_o 19_o 1_o cor._n xi_o 24._o matth._n xxvi_o 28._o in_o all_o which_o place_n the_o word_n of_o institution_n be_v recite_v with_o some_o variation_n st._n matthew_n say_v this_o

word_n of_o institution_n before_o therefore_o i_o meddle_v with_o his_o reason_n therefrom_o it_o will_v be_v convenient_a to_o consider_v and_o explain_v they_o and_o 1._o our_o saviour_n say_v this_o be_v not_o this_o be_v transubstantiate_a or_o wonderful_o convert_v into_o another_o substance_n viz_o the_o substance_n of_o my_o body_n 2._o if_o when_o he_o say_v this_o be_v he_o mean_v transubstantiation_n than_o his_o body_n must_v be_v transubstantiate_a before_o he_o speak_v and_o if_o so_o than_o the_o conversion_n do_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o word_n as_o they_o affirm_v for_o this_o be_v imply_v a_o thing_n already_o do_v 3._o when_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o his_o true_a natural_a humane_a body_n be_v there_o with_o they_o take_v the_o bread_n break_v it_o give_v it_o eat_v it_o now_o if_o that_o which_o he_o take_v break_v give_v and_o eat_v be_v then_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n either_o he_o must_v have_v two_o body_n there_o at_o that_o time_n or_o else_o the_o same_o body_n be_v by_o the_o same_o body_n take_v break_a give_v and_o eat_v and_o yet_o all_o the_o while_n neither_o take_v break_a give_v nor_o eat_v 4._o when_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o as_o st._n luke_n or_o which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o as_o st._n paul_n if_o it_o be_v understand_v literal_o then_o must_v it_o be_v either_o his_o natural_a or_o his_o glorify_a body_n if_o they_o say_v the_o former_a than_o we_o urge_v they_o again_o with_o the_o precede_a observation_n the_o latter_a they_o
