A47166	Quakerism no popery, or, A particular answere to that part of Iohn Menzeis, professor of divinity in Aberdeen, (as he is called) his book, intituled Roma mendax Wherein the people called Quakers are concerned, whom he doth accuse as holding many popish doctrins, and as if Quakerism, (so he nick-names our religion,) were but popery-disguised. In which treatise his alleadged grounds for this his assertion, are impartialy and fairly examined and confuted: and also his accusation of popery against us, justly retorted upon himself, and his bretheren.

so_o as_o we_o be_v clothe_v and_o cover_v with_o christ_n the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n dwell_v in_o we_o he_o make_v unto_o we_o in_o we_o righteousness_n as_o well_o as_o sanctification_n

and_o but_o in_o the_o next_o place_n that_o inward_a righteousness_n wrought_v by_o he_o in_o we_o which_o be_v but_o as_o the_o stream_n so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o stream_n that_o we_o rely_v and_o

and_o also_o in_o what_o he_o be_v in_o we_o and_o this_o we_o certain_o believe_v and_o know_v that_o who_o rest_n upon_o christ_n for_o justification_n only_o as_o without_o and_o not_o as_o

now_o this_o sort_n of_o justification_n by_o the_o indwel_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o wherein_o we_o affirm_v that_o our_o justification_n do_v principal_o consist_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o

with_o bellarmin_n as_o to_o this_o particular_a i_o do_v great_o suspect_v if_o otherwise_o let_v he_o clear_v himself_o sure_o i_o be_o he_o and_o his_o brethren_n be_v so_o far_o from_o think_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n indwell_v in_o we_o that_o they_o do_v no●_n acknowledge_v any_o real_a true_a and_o proper_a indwel_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o saint_n at_o all_o for_o that_o they_o affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o we_o any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o his_o grace_n or_o gracious_a operation_n but_o say_v we_o these_o grace_n and_o gracious_a operation_n can_v not_o

proper_o moreover_o for_o the_o further_o clear_v of_o our_o faith_n touch_v justification_n i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o consider_v that_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o inward_a righteousness_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v justify_v by_o outward_a work_n of_o righteousness_n do_v by_o we_o even_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o help_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v another_o for_o as_o we_o be_v first_o inward_o righteous_a before_o we_o can_v work_v good_a work_n so_o the_o justification_n by_o inward_a righteousness_n be_v first_o or_o before_o the_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o as_o some_o have_v well_o observe_v as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o good_a fruit_n that_o make_v the_o good_a tree_n but_o the_o good_a tree_n make_v and_o produce_v good_a fruit_n so_o good_a work_n make_v not_o a_o man_n at_o first_o righteous_a but_o a_o man_n must_v be_v first_o righteous_a or_o holy_a and_o then_o he_o br_v forth_o goodworks_a and_o thus_o true_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o agustin_n to_o be_v understand_v that_o good_a work_n go_v not_o before_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v but_o follow_v his_o be_v justify_v even_o as_o good_a fruit_n go_v not_o before_o the_o good_a tree_n but_o the_o good_a tree_n be_v before_o the_o good_a fruit_n and_o so_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o sanctification_n good_a work_n go_v not_o before_o a_o man_n sanctification_n as_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o a_o man_n be_v sanctify_v by_o inward_a righteousness_n and_o thus_o though_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o good_a work_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o inward_a righteousness_n now_o i_o say_v good_a work_n have_v not_o any_o place_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o justification_n i_o mean_v outward_a work_n for_o the_o reason_n allege_v because_o a_o man_n be_v first_o justify_v or_o make_v righteous_a before_o he_o work_v a_o good_a work_n outward_o and_o if_o in_o that_o state_n he_o shall_v die_v before_o he_o can_v work_v any_o outward_a good_a work_n he_o shall_v die_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n as_o certain_o infant_n who_o be_v save_v die_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n without_o work_n yet_o not_o without_o inward_a righteousness_n good_a work_n than_o be_v necessary_a not_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o to_o the_o continuance_n and_o progress_n of_o it_o so_o that_o be_v justify_v by_o one_fw-mi inward_a righteousness_n we_o be_v more_o justify_v by_o do_v good_a work_n which_o be_v necessary_a if_o not_o to_o bring_v we_o at_o first_o into_o favour_n with_o god_n yet_o to_o continue_v we_o in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n so_o as_o if_o we_o do_v not_o work_v good_a work_n if_o we_o live_v and_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o do_v they_o we_o shall_v fall_v from_o our_o justification_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a doctrine_n of_o william_n tindall_n that_o famous_a protestant_n and_o martyr_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v in_o that_o little_a book_n call_v a_o lock_v glass_n for_o all_o protestant_n and_o richard_n baxter_n who_o i_o suppose_v i._n m._n will_v hardly_o brand_v with_o popery_n speak_v hereof_o in_o

i._o m._n will_v not_o take_v it_o well_o to_o be_v accommodat_fw-la among_o such_o and_o yet_o i_o see_v not_o how_o in_o his_o brother_n r._n baxter_n his_o judgement_n he_o can_v avoid_v this_o censure_n second_o consider_v that_o justificaton_n as_o it_o be_v take_v for_o a_o remission_n of_o sin_n although_o it_o do_v indeed_o respect_v inward_a righteousness_n as_o a_o condition_n necessary_a to_o the_o obtainment_n of_o it_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o respect_v it_o either_o as_o the_o procure_a cause_n of_o it_o nor_o yet_o as_o its_o formal_a reason_n the_o procure_a cause_n be_v christ_n alone_o who_o become_v the_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o propitiation_n unto_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o formal_a reason_n of_o the_o remission_n be_v indeed_o the_o remission_n or_o forgiuness_n itself_o for_o the_o formal_a reason_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o self_n which_o consist_v in_o that_o act_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o acquit_v and_o discharge_v we_o in_o our_o heart_n by_o the_o testimony_n and_o dictat_fw-la of_o his_o spirit_n in_o we_o consider_v three_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n as_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o justification_n be_v not_o to_o exclude_v inward_a righteousness_n from_o our_o justification_n but_o indeed_o because_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o work_n that_o inward_a righteousness_n at_o first_o be_v receive_v for_o of_o all_o other_o grace_n and_o virtue_n faith_n be_v most_o of_o a_o receptive_a nature_n for_o as_o it_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o not_o resist_v but_o comply_v with_o his_o motion_n and_o operation_n in_o we_o so_o by_o faith_n be_v once_o receive_v in_o we_o we_o receive_v all_o other_o inward_a grace_n and_o virtue_n so_o that_o as_o by_o faith_n alone_o we_o receive_v inward_a righteousness_n by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v as_o to_o the_o
