that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o vindication_n of_o of_o the_o holiness_n and_o purity_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o christ_n before_o natural_a conscience_n and_o against_o the_o enemy_n of_o grace_n further_n so_o many_o scripture_n press_v to_o holiness_n be_v barrier_n that_o profane_a and_o unholy_a man_n who_o hate_v to_o be_v reform_v and_o hypocrite_n may_v not_o presume_v upon_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n till_o they_o find_v their_o heart_n change_v but_o especial_o scripture_n be_v so_o large_a in_o all_o these_o method_n of_o persuade_a man_n to_o holiness_n because_o they_o be_v serviceable_a to_o that_o oeconomy_n of_o grace_n that_o move_v and_o act_n upon_o the_o intellectual_a spirit_n of_o man_n rational_o while_o it_o supreme_o move_v and_o subordinates_n it_n thereby_o to_o its_o own_o operation_n and_o secondary_o these_o abundant_a discourse_n of_o holiness_n show_v to_o man_n his_o own_o unrighteousness_n by_o his_o so_o great_a fall_n fail_n and_o imperfection_n even_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o boast_v in_o regard_n of_o sanctification_n under_o that_o grace_n may_v be_v exclude_v and_o we_o may_v make_v mention_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o glory_n in_o that_o alone_a but_o then_o that_o so_o little_a comparative_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n though_o very_o much_o and_o very_o great_a be_v speak_v of_o it_o be_v because_o all_o divine_a be_v simple_a clear_a one_o speak_v of_o as_o it_o be_v at_o once_o and_o as_o the_o be_v and_o attribute_n of_o god_n though_o often_o speak_v of_o need_v not_o many_o word_n at_o a_o time_n but_o be_v to_o be_v especial_o meditate_a upon_o even_o so_o though_o upon_o occasion_n the_o

be_v rather_o continual_o speak_v of_o as_o our_o only_a foundation_n and_o hope_n and_o always_o imply_v this_o righteousness_n then_o be_v infinite_a therefore_o justification_n by_o it_o be_v attribute_v to_o faith_n without_o work_n because_o a_o infinite_a righteousness_n can_v be_v only_o receive_v and_o not_o aid_v by_o our_o work_n it_o can_v only_o be_v believe_v in_o not_o help_v out_o by_o any_o thing_n in_o we_o if_o it_o be_v say_v the_o apostle_n james_n seem_v to_o have_v decide_v the_o point_n much_o otherwise_o by_o assert_v faith_n do_v not_o nor_o can_v justify_v or_o

and_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n as_o our_o act_n and_o work_n and_o so_o this_o notion_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v infinite_a and_o give_v room_n to_o no_o other_o righteousness_n can_v hold._n to_o that_o i_o answer_v to_o any_o attend_v considerer_n of_o that_o apostle_n discourse_n it_o will_v be_v find_v he_o do_v not_o discourse_n of_o faith_n and_o work_n as_o two_o distinct_a complete_a thing_n but_o as_o two_o part_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n complete_a viz._n a_o complete_a faith_n as_o if_o we_o discourse_v of_o the_o body_n and_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n it_o be_v not_o a_o discouse_n of_o two_o complete_a being_n but_o of_o that_o one_o complete_a be_v man_n compound_v of_o body_n and_o of_o spirit_n of_o this_o we_o may_v find_v great_a proof_n in_o many_o expression_n and_o in_o the_o last_o verse_n the_o key_n of_o all_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v dead_a so_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a also_o james_n 2._o last_o now_o in_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o outward_a profession_n or_o as_o we_o call_v it_o confession_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v in_o those_o word_n thou_o believe_v there_o be_v one_o god_n with_o which_o article_n confession_n of_o faith_n general_o begin_v and_o this_o confession_n though_o the_o body_n of_o faith_n only_o the_o apostle_n call_v faith_n as_o we_o vulgar_o speak_v call_v the_o body_n often_o the_o man_n but_o then_o there_o be_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n call_v it_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n with_o power_n 2_o thes_n 1.11_o or_o as_o the_o apostle_n james_n speak_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o work_n viz._n of_o faith_n with_o which_o faith_n those_o work_n of_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d work_v in_o the_o apostle_n james_n make_v no_o more_o difference_n than_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d work_n and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d work_n in_o the_o

devil_n and_o wicked_a man_n as_o v._o 10._o and_o 12._o compare_v make_v out_o now_o these_o two_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n be_v as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o hypostatical_o or_o as_o it_o be_v personal_o unite_v confession_n the_o body_n work_v and_o power_n or_o work_v the_o spirit_n and_o when_o they_o be_v thus_o unite_v the_o confession_n work_v with_o

the_o confession_n of_o faith_n be_v perfect_v into_o a_o complete_a faith_n by_o be_v thus_o unite_v with_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n now_o to_o show_v this_o be_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n he_o do_v not_o instance_n in_o the_o work_v of_o a_o holy_a regular_a conversation_n according_a to_o the_o moral_a law_n but_o in_o two_o solitary_n single_n eminent_n and_o extraordinary_a act_n of_o
