A81815 The fulness and freeness of Gods grace in Jesus Christ, declared in two general points: first, that personal election is no ground of the saints perseverance in the grace of God by Jesus Christ. Secondly, in what sense the scriptures speake the saints perseverance in that grace. The third part. / By Francis Duke.; Fulnesse and freenesse of Gods grace in Jesus Christ. Part 3 Duke, Francis. 1656 (1656) Wing D2503; Thomason E892_9; ESTC R205568 71,363 121

second_o be_v their_o inherent_a righteousness_n as_o concern_v the_o first_o quest_n how_o can_v that_o be_v they_o only_o which_o be_v extend_v not_o only_o to_o the_o whole_a creation_n but_o to_o all_o mankind_n the_o chief_a part_n thereof_o as_o before_o be_v prove_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o all_o have_v a_o right_a to_o eternal_a life_n answ_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v possess_v of_o it_o for_o so_o it_o be_v the_o saint_n only_o by_o faith_n they_o therefore_o may_v leap_v for_o joy_n in_o all_o their_o suffering_n which_o none_o else_o can_v the_o second_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a be_v their_o sanctification_n or_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o this_o righteousness_n be_v they_o and_o they_o only_o the_o first_o righteousness_n be_v wrought_v by_o christ_n only_o and_o alone_o personal_o consider_v and_o be_v receive_v by_o the_o saint_n as_o the_o eye_n receive_v the_o light_n and_o so_o their_o own_o the_o second_o

operation_n be_v their_o own_o as_o proceed_v from_o their_o own_o counsel_n and_o voluntary_a choice_n and_o so_o far_o forth_o righteous_a as_o agree_v with_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o no_o further_o the_o apostle_n command_v the_o saint_n to_o work_v out_o their_o own_o salvation_n object_n that_o be_v salvation_n as_o to_o themselves_o with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a 13._o ph●l_n 1.12_o 13._o therefore_o their_o own_o work_n attain_v to_o eternal_a life_n which_o be_v their_o salvation_n salvation_n in_o the_o object_n be_v one_o thing_n answ_n but_o in_o the_o subject_a another_o thing_n salvation_n in_o the_o object_n be_v god_n gift_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o pardon_v of_o sin_n reach_v to_o man_n in_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n salvation_n in_o the_o subject_n be_v when_o a_o man_n by_o faith_n or_o belief_n be_v possess_v of_o that_o gift_n of_o impute_a righteousness_n in_o which_o be_v contain_v pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n only_o therefore_o all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v but_o to_o be_v more_o and_o more_o possess_v of_o that_o gift_n of_o eternal_a life_n by_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o grace_n and_o in_o union_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o to_o their_o brethren_n under_o the_o same_o capacity_n but_o if_o it_o be_v object_v object_n that_o james_n affirm_v that_o abraham_n and_o rahab_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n i_o answer_v answ_n james_n enveigh_v against_o those_o that_o brag_v of_o their_o faith_n without_o work_n as_o to_o the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n he_o conclude_v their_o faith_n to_o be_v dead_a and_o because_o the_o say_v twofold_a righteousness_n in_o the_o saint_n be_v ever_o distinct_a and_o yet_o never_o separate_v therefore_o of_o abraham_n and_o rahab_n and_o all_o right_a believer_n james_n may_v safe_o conclude_v they_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n as_o abraham_n in_o offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o rahab_n by_o receive_v the_o spy_n but_o to_o avoid_v mistake_n in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o work_n because_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o promiscuous_o attribute_n justification_n to_o the_o saint_n work_n sometime_o to_o faith_n and_o sometime_o to_o christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v remember_v this_o rule_n as_o a_o ground_n in_o this_o point_n for_o our_o direction_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v speak_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o communication_n of_o property_n as_o for_o example_n our_o lord_n attribute_n that_o to_o the_o eye_n which_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o it_o say_v the_o eye_n be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o the_o eye_n have_v no_o light_n in_o itself_o to_o enlighten_v the_o body_n but_o he_o attribute_n that_o to_o the_o eye_n which_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o the_o light_n because_o the_o eye_n receive_v the_o light_n into_o the_o body_n so_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v say_v that_o work_v save_v faith_n save_v and_o christ_n save_v attribute_v that_o to_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o another_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o connexion_n in_o this_o point_n of_o justification_n by_o this_o rule_n of_o communication_n of_o property_n so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n redeem_v the_o church_n with_o his_o blood_n yet_o god_n bleed_v not_o but_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o divine_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o personal_a union_n so_o in_o this_o point_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o near_a connexive_a relation_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n which_o be_v the_o object_n and_o the_o will_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o saint_n together_o with_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n to_o christ_n therefore_o it_o be_v thus_o promiscuous_o attribute_v each_o to_o other_o wherefore_o cardinal_n bellarmine_n from_o the_o force_n of_o divine_a truth_n while_o he_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v justification_n by_o the_o saint_n own_o work_n yet_o conclude_v that_o to_o cleave_v to_o christ_n righteousness_n as_o to_o justification_n be_v the_o safe_a way_n as_o be_v affirm_v by_o divine_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o right_a aspect_n of_o christ_n impute_a righteousness_n which_o he_o labour_v to_o make_v void_a in_o those_o dark_a time_n it_o may_v be_v that_o implicit_a aspect_n may_v stand_v he_o in_o as_o much_o stead_n to_o pardon_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o salvation_n as_o but_o a_o glimpse_n of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n body_n which_o have_v be_v bite_v with_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n he_o render_v this_o
ingenious_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o divine_a truth_n whereas_o you_o affirm_v faith_n arise_v as_o a_o particular_a branch_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n object_n or_o saint_n inherent_a righteousness_n yet_o it_o be_v affirm_v by_o other_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o and_o mother_n of_o all_o grace_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o faith_n be_v include_v in_o the_o general_a nature_n of_o the_o saint_n inherent_a righteousness_n wrought_v by_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n answ_n and_o another_o thing_n that_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o grace_n in_o order_n to_o perseverance_n that_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o mover_n for_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v true_a faith_n set_v all_o grace_n a_o work_n and_o i_o suppose_v this_o be_v it_o they_o mean_v and_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o second_o book_n pag._n 71.72_o that_o man_n belief_n be_v the_o general_a ground_n of_o all_o his_o deliberate_a action_n as_o to_o the_o avoid_n of_o any_o danger_n and_o attain_v any_o good_a hopeful_a and_o this_o be_v bottom_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o not_o in_o the_o excellency_n of_o faith_n above_o the_o nature_n of_o other_o grace_n for_o justify_v faith_n simple_o consider_v in_o itself_o as_o to_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v but_o a_o dark_a body_n till_o it_o have_v receive_v christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n which_o be_v the_o light_n of_o life_n eternal_a as_o be_v the_o eye_n a_o dark_a body_n till_o it_o receive_v the_o light_n and_o as_o by_o the_o saint_n exercise_v all_o their_o grace_n all_o grace_n do_v grow_v so_o faith_n grow_v up_o with_o the_o rest_n hence_o say_v james_n thou_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v the_o helper_n of_o abraham_n work_n and_o by_o work_n faith_n

for_o no_o man_n can_v love_v that_o which_o be_v not_o suitable_a nor_o agreeable_a to_o his_o mind_n from_o this_o ground_n jacob_n can_v not_o love_v leah_n so_o well_o as_o rachel_n but_o because_o there_o be_v a_o suitable_a agreeableness_n between_o the_o subject_n and_o the_o object_n therefore_o jonathans_n love_n to_o david_n be_v more_o than_o the_o love_n of_o woman_n so_o much_o to_o show_v how_o love_n arise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n but_o the_o question_n will_v be_v what_o be_v love_n in_o its_o own_o general_a nature_n quest_n in_o a_o word_n answ_n it_o may_v
