A30904	Truth cleared of calumnies wherein a book intituled, A dialogue betwixt a Quaker and a stable Christian (printed at Aberdeen, and upon good ground judged to be writ by William Mitchell ...) is examined, and the disingenuity of the author, in his representing the Quakers is discovered : here is also their case truly stated, cleared, demonstrated, and the objections of their opposers answered according to truth, Scripture, and right reason / by Robert Barclay.

as_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a for_o it_o and_o so_o we_o may_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o plead_v for_o it_o according_a to_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o we_o be_v teach_v of_o he_o but_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o he_o be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o therefore_o be_v we_o justify_v in_o our_o work_n which_o

of_o his_o goodness_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o not_o because_o he_o be_v addebt_v unto_o any_o of_o we_o otherwise_o then_o as_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o by_o his_o promise_n and_o this_o be_v

respect_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o if_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o all_o papist_n do_v not_o say_v so_o but_o be_v more_o moderate_a well_o then_o i_o say_v if_o some_o of_o they_o be_v moderate_a and_o pass_v from_o the_o erroneous_a opinion_n of_o popery_n and_o speak_v that_o which_o be_v true_a if_o other_o speak_v what_o be_v true_a also_o in_o that_o particular_a shall_v the_o truth_n be_v accuse_v and_o condemn_v for_o rank_a popery_n because_o some_o papist_n at_o time_n confess_v to_o it_o you_o your_o selus_fw-la know_v that_o papist_n contradict_v one_o another_o in_o divers_a

be_v ground_v to_o wit_n christ_n himself_o as_o in_o dwell_v in_o the_o saint_n none_o of_o all_o the_o papist_n for_o aught_o we_o ever_o hear_v or_o read_v do_v own_o it_o but_o be_v against_o it_o again_o as_o to_o the_o work_n by_o which_o the_o papist_n seek_v to_o be_v justify_v they_o be_v such_o as_o we_o believe_v none_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o viz._n their_o outward_a observation_n their_o invocation_n of_o saint_n bow_v to_o image_n say_v ave_fw-la mary_n tell_v their_o bead_n their_o pilgrimage_n their_o whip_a themselves_o their_o keep_n lend_v and_o many_o other_o such_o like_a work_n of_o voluntary_a humility_n by_o which_o they_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v though_o they_o be_v evil_a work_n as_o not_o do_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o power_n of_o god_n nor_o do_v it_o serve_v thy_o turn_n to_o say_v that_o papist_n think_v not_o that_o work_v consider_v as_o evil_a and_o sinful_a be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v they_o for_o that_o be_v not_o the_o question_n whether_o the_o papist_n think_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n sinful_a and_o evil_a but_o this_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o the_o papist_n think_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_v which_o be_v real_o sinful_a and_o evil_a however_o they_o may_v imagine_v they_o to_o be_v good_a and_o herein_o i_o say_v we_o differ_v vast_o from_o papist_n they_o think_v and_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o such_o work_v as_o be_v evil_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n whereas_o we_o believe_v that_o by_o no_o such_o work_n can_v any_o man_n be_v justify_v other_o weighty_a difference_n can_v be_v show_v in_o relation_n to_o this_o matter_n but_o what_o be_v here_o in_o short_a declare_v may_v suffice_v to_o evince_v that_o we_o differ_v wide_o from_o the_o papist_n concern_v justification_n three_o
