notwithstanding_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o person_n who_o obey_v suffer_v and_o die_v it_o be_v infinite_a and_o in_o the_o true_a rigour_n of_o justice_n it_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o

§_o iu._n nine_o they_o that_o can_v be_v justify_v without_o remission_n of_o sin_n sin_n be_v justify_v neither_o by_o inherent_a righteousness_n because_o they_o be_v sinner_n nor_o without_o the_o

righteous_a in_o christ_n and_o as_o

second_o for_o if_o thou_o do_v true_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n thou_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v thy_o saviour_n otherwise_o thou_o 10._o make_v god_n a_o liar_n that_o therefore_o thou_o may_v learn_v to_o apply_v christ_n unto_o thyself_o god_n by_o his_o minister_n deliver_v to_o thou_o in_o particular_a the_o sacrament_n as_o it_o be_v a_o pledge_n to_o assure_v thou_o in_o particular_a that_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v deliver_v unto_o thou_o the_o outward_a sign_n so_o the_o lord_n do_v communicate_v unto_o thou_o that_o believe_v according_a to_o the_o first_o degree_n of_o faith_n the_o thing_n signify_v that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n with_o all_o his_o merit_n to_o thy_o justification_n sanctification_n and_o salvation_n §_o iv._o this_o distinction_n of_o the_o degree_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v most_o comfortable_a distinction_n for_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v how_o to_o attain_v to_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n as_o elsewhere_o 8._o i_o have_v show_v for_o have_v the_o first_o degree_n which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n thou_o may_v apply_v the_o promise_n to_o thyself_o and_o by_o application_n attain_v to_o assurance_n so_o it_o be_v most_o true_a and_o most_o necessary_a to_o be_v hold_v and_o first_o as_o touch_v the_o former_a degree_n degre●…_n which_o be_v the_o special_a apprehension_n and_o embrace_v of_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a assent_n accompany_v with_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o resolution_n of_o the_o will_v as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o it_o be_v that_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n i_o have_v prove_v by_o plain_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n and_o other_o pregnant_a proof_n the_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o i_o allege_v be_v these_o mat._n 16._o 16._o 17._o joh._n 20._o 31._o act._n 8._o 37._o 38._o rom._n 10._o 9_o 10._o 1_o joh._n 5._o 1._o 5._o whereunto_o may_v be_v add_v 1_o joh._n 4._o 15._o among_o the_o manifold_a proof_n which_o i_o produce_v this_o be_v one_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o justify_v faith_n but_o the_o special_a faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n then_o two_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v the_o one_o that_o we_o must_v apply_v the_o promise_n to_o ourselves_o before_o we_o have_v the_o condition_n thereof_o which_o as_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v lest_o we_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n so_o we_o can_v do_v unless_o we_o will_v pernicious_o deceive_v ourselves_o the_o promise_n be_v whosoever_o believe_v in_o christ_n have_v remission_n of_o sin_n whosoever_o believe_v in_o christ_n shall_v be_v save_v etc._n etc._n this_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o none_o but_o to_o those_o who_o true_o believe_v and_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o justify_v faith_n which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v endue_v with_o justify_v faith_n before_o he_o can_v apply_v the_o promise_n and_o he_o must_v apply_v the_o promise_n before_o he_o can_v have_v any_o assurance_n by_o special_a faith_n the_o second_o absurdity_n be_v that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v assure_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v before_o they_o be_v forgive_v and_o so_o must_v believe_v a_o lie_n yea_o that_o a_o man_n must_v be_v assure_v that_o they_o be_v forgive_v to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v forgive_v which_o be_v a_o great_a absurdity_n this_o therefore_o be_v a_o undeniable_a truth_n that_o before_o we_o can_v either_o apply_v the_o promise_n or_o attain_v to_o assurance_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n we_o must_v be_v endue_v with_o true_a justify_v faith_n which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o mean_n to_o obtain_v remission_n i_o must_v believe_v therefore_o by_o a_o justify_v faith_n before_o i_o can_v have_v remission_n of_o sin_n i_o must_v have_v remission_n of_o sin_n before_o i_o can_v have_v any_o assurance_n thereof_o and_o i_o must_v ascend_v by_o many_o degree_n of_o assurance_n before_o i_o come_v to_o full_a assurance_n which_o yet_o in_o this_o life_n be_v never_o so_o full_a but_o that_o still_o more_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v add_v to_o it_o §_o v._o as_o touch_v the_o second_o which_o by_o some_o be_v call_v special_a faith_n faith_n not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o object_n which_o be_v christ_n for_o so_o the_o former_a be_v also_o special_a but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o effect_n which_o be_v by_o actual_a application_n of_o the_o promise_n to_o a_o man_n self_n to_o assure_v he_o in_o particular_a of_o his_o justification_n and_o salvation_n it_o be_v by_o some_o both_o protestant_n and_o popish_a writer_n call_v fiducia_fw-la that_o be_v affiance_n howbeit_o the_o most_o of_o our_o writer_n by_o it_o mean_v assurance_n but_o unproper_o howsoever_o for_o neither_o be_v faith_n affiance_n nor_o affiance_n assurance_n this_o special_a apprehension_n &_o application_n of_o christ_n though_o scorn_v by_o the_o papist_n yet_o be_v it_o of_o all_o grace_n the_o most_o comfortable_a most_o profitable_a most_o necessary_a most_o comfortable_a for_o the_o very_a life_n of_o this_o life_n be_v the_o assurance_n of_o a_o better_a life_n most_o necessary_a because_o without_o this_o special_a receive_n of_o christ_n first_o by_o apprehension_n and_o then_o by_o application_n we_o can_v have_v no_o other_o save_v grace_n how_o can_v we_o love_v god_n or_o our_o neighbour_n for_o god_n sake_n how_o can_v we_o hope_v and_o trust_v in_o he_o how_o can_v we_o rejoice_v in_o he_o or_o be_v thankful_a to_o he_o if_o we_o be_v not_o persuade_v of_o his_o love_n and_o bounty_n towards_o we_o and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n most_o profitable_a because_o from_o it_o all_o other_o grace_n proceed_v and_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o it_o be_v the_o measure_n of_o all_o other_o grace_n as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o show_v for_o if_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v shed_v abroad_o in_o thy_o heart_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v if_o by_o faith_n thou_o be_v persuade_v of_o god_n love_n towards_o thou_o thou_o will_v be_v move_v to_o love_v the_o lord_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n for_o his_o sake_n then_o will_v thou_o hope_v and_o trust_v in_o he_o then_o will_v thou_o rejoice_v in_o he_o and_o be_v thankful_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o forth_o and_o the_o great_a thy_o persuasion_n be_v of_o his_o love_n and_o goodness_n towards_o thou_o so_o much_o the_o great_a will_v be_v thy_o love_n thy_o hope_n thy_o trust_n thy_o thankfulness_n thy_o rejoice_v in_o he_o etc._n etc._n when_o as_o therefore_o the_o papist_n detest_v and_o scorn_v our_o doctrine_n concern_v special_a faith_n they_o do_v plain_o bewray_v themselves_o to_o have_v no_o save_a grace_n nor_o any_o truth_n or_o power_n of_o religion_n in_o they_o §_o vi_o but_o that_o this_o special_a receive_n and_o embrace_v of_o christ_n by_o justification_n faith_n be_v necessary_a to_o justification_n and_o that_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v without_o it_o it_o do_v evident_o appear_v by_o the_o three_o and_o four_o point_v before_o handle_v in_o the_o four_o and_o five_o book_n for_o if_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v out_o of_o we_o in_o he_o then_o be_v we_o not_o justify_v by_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o habit_n or_o quality_n inherent_a in_o we_o but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n and_o instrument_n whereby_o we_o receive_v christ_n his_o righteousness_n which_o as_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o by_o god_n so_o we_o apprehend_v it_o by_o faith_n and_o because_o faith_n alone_o do_v receive_v
