I Have to my full satisfaction perused this excellent Dissertation and Discussion of the chief Antinomian Tenents and finde it to be so solid and judicious pious profitable and seasonable in our distracted Times and finally so adorned and sweetned with modesty gaullass sobriely and Christian charity that I alow it and approve it well worthy the Printing and Publishing not doubting but that it will be very effectual to stablish all in the Truth who have already embraced it and to convince if not perswade all those who in simplicity and through meer error of their judgement are contrary minded JOHN DOWNAM● THE TABLE THe Introduction Page 1. Chap. 1. Touching the Law of Moses Whether altogether abolished so that it is of no use to the Believer now in the time of the Gospel Also whether it do not binde Believers to the Duties of Holiness as well now as it did in the time of the Old Testament 9. Chap. 2. Touching the Motives of the Law Whether these also be abolished So that to propose the expectation of reward as an invitation to good Works and to deter men from sin by the fear of punishment be altogether inconsistent with the Doctrine of Grace 18. Chap. 3. A brief Answer to the Arguments of N. D. by him brought to prove Iustification before Faith i. e. before the act of Believing 25. Chap. 4. That justification is not transacted all at once nor any pre-remission of sin before it be committed 33. Chap. 5. The way of seeking resolution touching our Adoption and Iustification by signs and marks viz. The fruits of Sanctification whether it be altogether unsatisfactory 41. Chap. 6. Touching sin in the Conscience of the Believer The Doctrine of the Antinomians in this Point examined and found insufficient to satisfie the Conscience The right way of satisfying the Conscience and of taking away the scruple of sin set down 58. The Arguments of the Compassionate Samaritan touching the Power of the Magistrate in the compulsion of Conscience Examined 73. The Introduction Isaiah 53. 11. By his knowledge shall my Righteous Servant justifie many for he shall bear their iniquities A Farther Explication of what was said v. 10. The pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand in the hand of Christ shall the pleasure of the Lord Understand this touching the Bruising of the Serpents head mentioned Gen. 3. 15. consequently that Salvation of mankinde This pleasure of the Lord doth prosper in the hand of Christ which is seen in this That by his knowledge he shall justifie many This is that fruit of the Travel of his Soul in seeing whereof He i. e. Christ not God the Father as some very fondly and foolishly do apply the Text Christ I say shall be satisfied i. e. shall account himself well satisfied for all his labor and pains bestowed The Passion of Christ and the Benefit thereof these two are the subject matter of this Chapter The Benefit thereof is partly to others and partly to himself To himself that is set down ver. 12. To others in some verses foregoing The Description whereof taketh its rise from the middle of the 9. Verse Because he had done no violence c. That word Because is a trouble to Interpreters how to depend the latter clause of that Verse upon the former Vatablus saw and cuts the knot rather then unties it I conceive we shall not wrong the Text I am sure not the Truth if we joyn the former part of the verse to the 8. and begin a new period in the word Because thus v. 9. Because he had done no violence neither was any deceit in his mouth yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him He hath put him to grief 10. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin Or When his soul shall make an offering for sin he shall see his Seed c. q. d. Inasmuch as notwithstanding he was altogether innocent yet he did patiently submit himself to bear whatsoever the Lord would lay upon him for the Expiation of mans sin that therefore upon his Death he should receive full satisfaction both in respect of himself and those persons whose cause he had undertaken Thus I but let the learned judge In the words of ver. 11. we have a Proposition and its Confirmation In the Proposition besides the Agent who is by God here term'd a Servant a Righteous Servant we have three things not to be so lightly passed over 1. Act in the word Shall justifie 2. Object Many 3. The Medium By his knowledge Of which somewhat more largely and yet only in reference to what just hints the words may give to the Examination of some positions of the Antinomians a Sect and a sort of men lately start up whom Satan doth make use of to be his Proctors of Prophaneness and the Abbettors of Atheism and licentious Libertinism But to the Text By his knowledge The Medium stands first in the Text and if you will let us first begin with it By his knowledg And what is that To make way for Answer I lay down this That the pronoun His must be passive like that in Psal. 90. 11. Thy fear i. e. The fear of
