A45147	Pacification touching the doctrinal dissent among our united brethren in London being an answer to Mr. Williams and Mr. Lobb both, who have appealed in one point (collected for an error) to this author, for his determination about it : together with some other more necessary points falling in, as also that case of non-resistance, which hath always been a case of that grand concern to the state, and now more especially, in regard to our loyalty to King William, and association to him, resolved, on that occasion / by Mr. John Humfrey.

their_o endeavour_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o see_v no_o man_n have_v those_o work_v the_o law_n require_v to_o salvation_n it_o be_v of_o grace_n or_o of_o mercy_n that_o we_o be_v accept_v to_o life_n on_o another_o condition_n well_o now_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v save_v or_o justify_v in_o opposition_n to_o work_n be_v and_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o those_o work_n be_v understand_v of_o such_o as_o the_o law_n require_v to_o justify_v we_o that_o be_v perfect_a work_n meritorious_a work_n which_o if_o we_o have_v we_o may_v boast_v and_o expect_v the_o reward_n as_o of_o debt_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n be_v because_o we_o have_v they_o not_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v another_o righteousness_n which_o be_v to_o be_v have_v short_a of_o that_o the_o law_n require_v to_o justification_n not_o perfect_a not_o meritorious_a not_o such_o as_o will_v make_v the_o reward_n due_a of_o justice_n but_o such_o as_o needs_o grace_n for_o the_o acceptance_n therefore_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o grace_n and_o that_o i_o say_v which_o we_o must_v have_v for_o god_n can_v account_v a_o man_n righteous_a which_o be_v to_o justify_v he_o that_o be_v not_o righteous_a his_o judgement_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n and_o what_o righteousness_n then_o be_v that_o a_o man_n must_v have_v and_o be_v find_v in_o but_o that_o we_o call_v our_o evangelical_n righteousness_n the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n note_v it_o he_o be_v just_a righteous_a that_o live_v or_o be_v justify_v but_o how_o righteous_a not_o according_a to_o the_o law_n but_o the_o gospel_n hence_o be_v the_o

in_o christ_n to_o be_v holy_a that_o he_o have_v redeem_v we_o from_o iniquity_n that_o the_o end_n or_o one_o end_n of_o his_o death_n or_o redemption_n be_v to_o make_v we_o righteous_a as_o our_o divine_n still_o say_v but_o i_o never_o find_v any_o satisfactory_a account_n of_o it_o by_o they_o the_o matter_n in_o short_a be_v you_o may_v see_v it_o full_a in_o my_o mention_a book_n p._n 43._o that_o by_o christ_n death_n a_o law_n of_o grace_n be_v obtain_v upon_o which_o our_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v accept_v to_o life_n or_o impute_v for_o righteousness_n or_o we_o make_v

instead_o of_o such_o work_n which_o the_o law_n require_v to_o justification_n hence_o last_o be_v we_o say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n the_o most_o single_a and_o plain_a reason_n whereof_o be_v because_o that_o faith_n to_o a_o true_a believer_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n rom._n 4.22_o 23_o 24._o and_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n because_o god_n do_v account_v such_o a_o one_o righteous_a and_o deal_v with_o he_o as_o such_o in_o free_v he_o from_o punishment_n and_o accept_v he_o to_o salvation_n through_o the_o death_n and_o obedience_n of_o our_o redeemer_n justification_n in_o which_o sense_n also_o he_o call_v he_o the_o god_n of_o his_o righteousness_n when_o as_o for_o any_o acceptance_n of_o he_o through_o the_o

one_o such_o thought_n to_o rely_v therefore_o i_o will_v say_v on_o christ_n righteousness_n as_o we_o without_o regard_n to_o any_o thing_n within_o or_o without_o regard_n to_o the_o condition_n be_v self-deceiving_a but_o to_o rely_v on_o god_n mercy_n and_o on_o christ_n merit_n for_o acceptance_n of_o what_o we_o do_v and_o pardon_v for_o the_o fail_n be_v substantial_a religion_n and_o of_o justification_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n blood_n a_o good_a exposition_n i_o have_v now_o something_o more_o to_o be_v far_o ponder_v on_o this_o point_n the_o chief_a be_v that_o what_o i_o
