in himself and from himselfe according to the vnsearchable riches of the glory of his grace Eph. 2.8.9 Tit. 3.5 No Preparation in vs to Iustification 8 Whereupon it is manifest that there can bee no Disposition of our selues or Preparation by vs to induce this forme of Iustification 9 For albeit there are two principall degrees of Preparation that go before Iustification if not in time yet in nature to wit the sense of our owne Miserie and a confused knowledge of the Mercie of God yet all this maketh nothing for the Efficient Cause not only of condignity as the Schoole-men speake but not of congruence The Externall Efficient 10 The Externall impellent Cause of this Efficient is Christ aswell in respect of his Merite as also of his Efficacie and operation 11 Of his Merite Because hee acquired the benefit of Iustification vnto vs both by his Actiue and Passiue obedience by his life and death 1. Tim. 2.6 1. Ioh. 1.7 12 Of his Efficacie Because he applieth effectually the acquired benefit of Iustification vnto vs both by offering it in the preaching of his Word and also by conferring the same by the inward effectual operation of his holie Spirit Rom. 1.16 2. Cor. 5.19 13 But that we may more plainely declare how God is the Efficient Cause of our Iustification How God is said to Iustifie wee must diligently obserue that the Maner of Effecting wherby God is said to iustifie is diuerse and sundrie 1. By works 14 I. God is said to Iustifie by Works and inherent Righteousnes So he iustifieth the blessed Angels So also hee should haue Iustified Man if he had not fallen And thus the Israelites sought Iustification by the workes of the Law Rom. 9.31.32 2. By Faith 15 II. God is said to Iustifie of Faith or by Faith By Faith I vnderstand Christ his righteousnes or Satisfactiō or Obedience or Merits being apprehended by Faith Note wel 16 In this manner of Iustifying are comprehended two things 1. Christ or the Merits of Christ 2. Our Faith without which the Merits of Christ cannot be applied vnto vs effectually for our Iustificatiō 17 This Merite of Christ is the cause of all Spirituall blessings in the execution of the decree of Election which God bestoweth vpon vs though after a diuerse manner 18 I say in the Execution of the decree of Election The merit of Christ cannot be the cause of Election because the Merit of Christ cannot be the cause of Election it self but onely Gods good pleasure proceeding of his meere loue mercie Luk. 12.32 Rom. 11.5 Eph. 1.5 1. Deut. 7.7.8 Deut. 10.15 19 I. Because the Merite of Christ was not from all eternitie 20 II. Because Christ himself as he is the Mediator was elected frō before the foundation of the world Esa 42.1 Mat. 12.18 1. Pet. 1.20 1. Pet. 2.5 21 III. Because the Merit of Christ is an effect of our eternall Election for therefore Christ merited for vs because wee were Elected 22 But Christ may well bee said to bee the Materiall Cause of our Election Note if wee take the matter for the Subiect or Matter in which Eph. 1.4 He elected vs in him that is in Christ for Christ is the head in which is grounded the election of the members The merit of Christ the efficient cause of Vocation 23 To returne to our purpose Christ and his merit is the Efficient Cause of our Effectuall vocatiō or Calling which is not from all eternitie but in time yet without respect vnto Faith seeing Faith is but then giuen and is the second part of our calling Of Iustification 24 Againe Christ and his Merite is the cause of our Iustification but not without Faith wherewith in Effectual calling we haue apprehended and laid hold on him And of Glorification 25 Lastly Christ and his merit is the cause of our Glorification but with Faith apprehending the imputed righteousnesse of Christ in Iustification 26 Hereby wee see that Man is Iustified by the Merits of Christ as it were by a manner or way whereby God iustifieth him but not without Faith apprehending that Merit being offered in Effectuall Calling 27 Whereupon the Apostle vnto the Rom. and Gal. expresseth this manner which is a certaine compoūd thing by the onely name of Faith wherunto sometimes he ioyneth Iesus Christ as Rom. 3.22 The righteousnes of God by the faith of Iesus Christ So Gal. 2.16 Man is iustified by the faith of Iesus Christ And Rom. 3.25 Through Faith in his blood 28 III. God is said to iustifie by his Grace Mercy 3. By grace And certainely this Grace doth excellently well agree with Faith but not at all with Workes Rom. 11.6 Ephes 2.8.9 These speeches doe well agree together God iustifieth by Faith and God iustifieth by Grace which cannot be affirmed of Workes 29 But heere Question may bee moued concerning the Order of these two Question Whether Faith or Grace go before Whether Faith bee the cause of Grace or contrariwise whether Grace bee the cause of Faith Answere Faith goeth before the grace of Iustification 30 I Answere Faith goeth before Grace followeth after Faith that is Christ and his merits being apprehended by Faith in Effectuall Calling is the cause of the new Grace whereby GOD iustifieth a man 31 And to speake more plainely hereof Note well All spirituall blessings in the executiō of Gods decree of Election as Vocation Iustification and Glorification do proceed from Gods Grace For example 32 In Effectuall Calling the first thing is the Merite of Christ then followeth the Grace of GOD after commeth Vocation 33 So also in Iustification first is the Merite of Christ which was apprehended in Vocation then there is the Grace of God whereof proceedeth Iustification 34 And likewise in Glorification the first is the Merit of Christ being imputed in Iustification and apprehended by Faith next followeth the Grace of God and then Glorification 35 Herein stands the difference that in Effectuall Vocation or Calling the onely Merite of Christ without our faith is the cause of Grace 36 But in Iustification Glorification the Merit of Christ being apprehended by Faith is the cause of Grace 37 Out of these things which wee haue said it is euident that Faith or Christ and his merit apprehended by faith is the cause of that Grace whereby God iustifieth man 38 Whereupon after that the Apostle had said Rom. 3.24 Wee are iustified freely that is by his grace presently hee addeth through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus noting thereby the cause of that Grace whereby we are iustified namely the Redēption of Christ apprehended by faith in Effectuall calling 39 And Rom. 4.16 Therefore is the inheritance by Faith that it might come by Grace in which words the Apostle in mateth that life eternall is therefore of Faith that there might bee place for Grace which is the Effect of
Faith apprehēding the imputed righteousnes of Christ in Iustification 40 If it bee demanded How the Merite of Christ and the Grace of God Question which is contrary vnto merit may consist together 41 I Answere Answere The Merite of Christ not our owne merites may wel stand together with the Grace of GOD. For Christs satisfaction wherby he satisfied the Iustice of his Father is that thing that meriteth the Grace of God for vs. 42 But if you speake of our owne merits thē certainely they cannot stand together with the Grace of God but are quite contrarie vnto it The Organicall Efficient two fold 43 The Organicall Efficient Cause of Iustification is two-fold Instrumentall or Administeriall 44 The Instrumental Cause which exhibiteth the benefit of Iustificatiō vnto vs 1. Instrumentall is the Gospell and Sacramēts wherby the benefits of Christ are offered conferred and sealed vnto vs. 45 The Gospell is called the Gospell of Grace Act. 20.24 because it declareth and offereth the Grace of God vnto vs also the Word of Grace Act. 20.32 the Word of Saluation Act. 13.26 the Word of Life Phil. 2.16 And Paul saith The Gospell of Christ is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth Rom. 1.16 46 Of Baptisme the Apostle speaketh Christ sanctifieth cleanseth his Church by the washing of water through the Word Ephes 5.26 Also Hee saued vs by the washing of the new birth and the renuing of the holy Ghost And Peter saith Baptisme saueth vs by the resurrection of Iesus Christ. 1. Pet. 3.21 47 And of the Lords Supper Christ testifieth that we receiue his body which was giuen for vs Luk. 22.19 drinke his blood that is shed for many for the remission of sinnes Mat. 26.27.28 48 If it bee demaunded How the Sacraments are instruments to conferre grace 49 I Answere The Sacraments conferre grace Answere How the Sacramēts conferre Grace because they are a meanes to giue and exhibite to the beleeuing mind Christ with his benefits and this they do by their signification 50 For they serue as a particular and infallible certificate to assure such as bee partakers thereof of the forgiuenesse of their sins and of euerlasting saluation 51 Also they conferre grace as the Kings letters are said to saue the life of a malefactor when they doe but signifie to him and others that the Kings pleasure is to shew fauour 52 Againe they may be said to confer grace because they are a tokē or pledge of the Grace of GOD and by this pledge Faith is confirmed which is an instrument to apprehend or receiue grace 53 A King saith vnto his Subiects Note He that brings the head of such a Traytour shall haue a thousand pounds He that hath the head may say Heere is a thousand pounds because it is vnto him a pledge vpon the Kings word of the receipt of so much 54 Lastly the Word of God conferres grace for it is the power of God vnto saluatiō to them that beleeue which it doth by signifying the wil of God by the eare to the mind Now euery Sacrament is the Word of GOD made visible to the eye the Sacramēts therfore conferre grace by vertue of their signification and by reason they are a pledge by the appointment of GOD of his mercy and goodnesse 55 If it be said Obiect The Sacraments are not onlie signes and seales but also instruments to conuey the grace of God to vs. 56 I Answere Ans The Sacraments are not Instruments hauing the grace of God tied vnto them or shut vp in them but instruments to which grace is present by assistance in the right vse thereof 57 Because in and with the right vse of the Sacraments God conferres grace and thus they are instruments no otherwise that is morall not physicall instruments 58 The Administeriall Cause of Iustification 2. Administeriall are aswell the Ministers of the Word 1 Cor. 3.9 1. Tim. 4.16 Ioh. 20.23 as also the Martyrs of Christ Dan. 12.3 who by their testimony and example teach that there is no righteousnes which may consist before the tribunall of GOD but onely the righteousnesse of Iesus Christ 59 And so much for the Efficient Cause of Iustification Actiuelie taken on Gods part The Efficient Cause on Mans part is Faith 60 Now on Mans part Iustification Passiuelie taken the Efficient cause of it is altogether Instrumentall and this is Faith by which not for which wee are said to be iustified aswell in regard of the Correlatiue thereof as also of the Contrarie the Law and good workes 61 In regard of the Correlatiue to wit Christ his Merits because the whole forme of Iustifying Faith is sited in Relation not in the qualitie or nature thereof seeing wee are iustified by Faith as it is relatiuely applied vnto his correlatiue 62 In regard of the Contrarie because those good workes and conformitie vnto the Law required in the person of a iustified Man are worthily excluded frō the merit and act of Iustification 63 But to speake more plainely of this point Faith what it is Faith is a confident apprehension of the mercy of GOD through the redemption of Iesus Christ in the promise of the Gospell The parts of Faith 64 The parts of Faith are three 1. Knowledge in the mind and vnderstanding 2. Assent in the will 3. Confidence in the heart 65 These three acts may be considered distinctly seeing a man may know a thing and yet not assent thereunto beleeue the same to bee true and yet not make it his own by speciall application confidence which cannot consist without knowledge and assent 66 These three parts are excellently wel laid downe in the 14. chap. of S. Iohn Beleeuest thou that I am in the Father and the Father is in mee this belongeth vnto the first part Beleeue me that I am in the Father and the Father in me this vnto the second Beleeue you in God beleeue also in me and this vnto the third 67 So then Faith in Christ is not to know or beleeue there is a Christ nor yet to beleeue Christ but to beleeue in Christ The wicked beleeue there is a Christ Hypocrites beleeue Christ But the Elect only beleeue in Christ that is put their whole trust and confidence in him 68 Wherefore it is manifest that iustifying faith is not a bare knowledge assent but that the chiefest part thereof is Confidence wherby the sinner apprehēdeth and particularly applieth vnto himselfe the promises of the Gospel Note well 69 Hence is that Theologicall Axiome Some things are spokē of Faith in respect of knowledge and assent and some things in respect of Confidence 70 In respect of Assent Faith hath for the Obiect thereof all the holy Scriptures the Law the Gospel which faith firmely beleeueth to be most true The proper Obiect of Faith 71 In respect of Confidence the proper Obiect of faith
admirable Mysterie of our Redemption by the obedience and passion of thy deere Sonne our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ Endue me O Lord with the puritie of this heauenlie knowledge and let me be able to discerne betweene truth and error that I may bee alwaies free from heresie and not be entangled with false doctrine nor defiled with the loathsome pitch of mans inuentions but that I may safely walke the right way into thy kingdom and faithfully apprehēd and take hold of the riches and righteousnes of thy Sonne Christ Iesus so that my whole life and conuersation may bee hereafter directed to the honour and glorie of thy name and peace of my cōscience through Christ our only Mediator and Aduocate in whose name I farther pray vnto thee as himselfe hath taught me Our Father which art in heauen c. What Iustification is CHAP. I. THE whole course order of our saluation is absolued as it were in two degrees 1. In the knowledge of our owne miserie 2. In confidence of the Diuine mercy Our miserie threefold 2 Of our miserie there are three partes 1. The Faulte 2. The Guilte 3. The Punishment Diuine mercie three-fold 3 Of the Diuine Mercy there are three partes in the like manner oppositive vnto these 1. Remission of the fault 2. Absolution from the guilte 3. Deliuerance from the punishment 4 The whole processe from our miserie vnto the Diuine mercy is termed Iustification 5 Iustification is taken two waies Iustification twofold 1. Physically or Naturally 2. Politically or Iudicially 6 Iustification Physically or Naturally taken Physicall signifieth an actual trāsmutation or change frō inherent qualitie of vnrighteousnes vnto inherent qualitie of righteousnes from euill to good 7 Thus must that place Apoc. 22.11 be vnderstood Hee that is righteous let him be righteous still 8 And certainely a man is denominated righteous from inherēt righteousnes 1. Ioh. 3.17 He that doth righteousnes is righteous 9 Iustification being taken in this fense is indeede Iachoatiue glorification or Sanctification which is a certaine change betweene inherent contrary termes or qualities 10 Iustification Politically or Iudicially taken 2. Politicall signifieth the pronunciation of a sentēce of Absolution or righteousnes vpon a man by some Iudge out of a tribunall or Iudgement seate Rom. 8.33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen It is God that iustifieth 11 And this sense is common both to such as haue Inherent proper righteousnes and also to such as be not so qualified but haue the Righteousnes of another applied vnto them 12 For hee that is Righteous in himselfe may by a Iudge be pronounced so to bee by his own inherent righteousnes 13 So are the blessed Angels iustified by God 14 So also should Man haue bin iustified if hee had continued in his originall righteousnes 15 Also a man may be said to be iustified that is pronounced iust or righteous by that righteousnes which is not inherent in himself but is properly another Mans but made his by couenant 16 After this manner any Debter may be said to bee iustified by the righteousnesse of his surety who in his name satisfieth the creditour and payeth the debt 17 And in this sense only is Iustification vsed in the argument we haue to treate of which is thus defined 18 Iustification is the Sentence of GOD Iustification defined sitting as iudge in his tribunall seate whereby for the satisfaction and obedience of Christ he freely remitteth the sins of the beleeuing-sinner and imputeth the righteousnes of Christ vnto him for his glorie and the sinners euerlasting saluation That Iustification is a iudiciall Act. 19 Now that Iustification is a iudicial act it is manifest by sundrie reasons 20 I. Because it is plainely described so in Scripture Psal 143.2 Iob. 9.2.3 21 II. Because in this Act there are Debt that is Sin Mat. 6.12 a law accusing Rom. 3.19.20 conscience witnessing Rom. 2.15 an Aduocate pleading 1. Ioh. 2.1 and a finall Sentence Rom. 3.23.24.25.28 22 III. Because such words as be equiualent vnto Iustification are iudicial as to remit sins Psal 32.1 Rom. 3.25 Rom. 4.7 to loose sins Matth. 16.19 Matth. 18.18 to forgiue Coloss 2.13 not to impute sinnes 2. Cor. 5.19 to put out the hand-writing Col. 2.14 23 IV. Because the words which are opposite vnto Iustificatiō are Iudicial as Accusation Rom. 8.33 Condemnation Matth. 12.37 Rom. 5.16 Rom. 8.34 Binding Matth. 16.19 Mat. 18.18 Retayning of sins Ioh. 20.23 24 Euen as the word Iustification so is the worde Imputation also common Of Imputation For Righteousnesse is said to bee IMPVTED both vnto him who is inherently iust in himselfe and also vnto him that hath not his owne inherent but the righteousnesse of another namelie Christs righteousnesse applied vnto him 25 That Iustification is common appeareth by that speech of the Apostle Rom. 3.28 Gal. 2.16 where hee saith that Man is iustified not by the works of the Law but by faith in Iesus Christ 26 Whereby he manifestly declareth that a man may bee iustified that is pronounced iust and righteous aswel by his own works or righteousnes of the Law if any had such works indeed as a man may by faith that is by the righteousnes of Christ apprehended by faith 27 So also that Imputation is common it is euident out of these words of the Apostle Rom. 4.4 To him that worketh the wages is not imputed by fauour but by debt 28 In which words hee sheweth that the righteousnes of works that is inherent righteousnes may be said to be imputed to a man if any were so well qualified as well as the righteousnes of faith 29 But our speech is of the Imputation of anothers righteousnes CONFESSION OF sinnes with prayer for Remission I Haue sinned ô Lord I haue sinned The infinite and euer-crying guilte of my sins continually calles for infinite and neuer dying punishment Oh I haue sinned and therefore am ashamed to appeare before thee much more to craue any good thing at thy hands I am a weake and wretched creature and thou art a GOD of infinite power and Maiestie I am a guilty and grieuous offendour thou a most iust and seuere Iudge Sin hath left no good thing in me al is wounded al is poysoned and how shall I appeare before thee into whose presence shall enter no vncleane thing Alas I am sicke with sin Sicke yea dead twice dead subiect to mortalitie subiect to eternall damnation I was conceiued and borne in sinne and hitherto haue continually liued therein the greatnes of my disease hath almost quite extinguished the sense thereof and my continuall custome in sinning cōfirmeth my impudencie and taketh from me the opinion of sin But now the only glimpse of felicity causeth me to acknowledge my owne miserie therefore I am constrained to confesse with Dauid I haue sinned grieuously and there stop because I cannot recken them My heart is the roote and
is the gra●… and mercy of G●●●xhibited in Christ the Redeemer and offered by the Gospell Sole faith iustifieth 72 Hereupon it is that we constantly affirme that Sole Faith iustifieth or Faith only iustifieth in which speech the particle Sole or Only determineth the predicate but is not referred vnto the Subiect that is it declareth that this effect Iustification is attributed only to faith and to no other apprehending instrument or meanes 73 Or it sheweth that Faith is the only instrument that apprehēdeth the righteousnesse of Christ Note well 74 As if a mā should say The sole eye seeth or The eye only seeth hee meaneth not the sole eie or the eie only that is the solitary eye separate frō the soule brain eares nose mouth cheekes c. but the eye is the onely instrument of seeing and no other member of the body 75 Wherefore the particle Sole or Onely doth not exclude the grace mercy of God the merit and satisfaction of Christ the preaching of the Gospell nor the vse of the Sacraments for all these are required in faith which in the Gospel right vse of the Sacramēts beholdeth and apprehendeth the grace of God and righteousnes of Christ 76 Neither doth it exclude Workes the habite of Charitie but only from the act of iustifying 77 Hitherto of the Efficient Cause of Iustification Now followeth the Materiall A PRAYER FOR Faith OH sweete Iesus most glorious and most gracious Lord. As the Harte brayeth after the riuers of water so panteth my soule whilest mine eies look after thee which art ascēded vp to heauen to prepare a place for vs Leaue not thy children desolate Prepare my going out and my comming in Compasse me with thy mercy Let thy holy Angell pitch his tent round about mee Set a watch before my mouth Keepe the dore of my lips turne mine eyes from vanity incline not mine heart to euill but prepare my soule to thy seruice and deliuer mee from euery euill worke Shew mee the way wherein I should walke let thy light goe before mee teach me by thy word giue me vnderstanding by thy Spirit frame my heart by thy grace I am flesh quickē me I haue neede of Faith Hope and Loue Let me not want the things without which I cannot serue thee Indue me with the grace of thy holy spirit which is sufficiēt to direct my soul to informe my vnderstanding and conforme my will Worke in mee a certaine and stedfast faith in thee assured Hope in thy promises earnest loue of thy truth and Gospel and sincere affection towards thy Children Thou hast gone before me O Sauiour make mee to followe mine example Thou hast begun therfore thou wilt not leaue off the worke thou hast in hand See mee O Lord and not only so but come to thy seruāt come dwel with me and all shall bee thine onely make mee thine sweete Iesus as thou art mine Amen CHAP. IV. Of the Materiall Cause of Iustification The Materiall cause of Iustificatiō Actiuely taken THe MATERIAL cause of our Iustification Actiuelie considered on Gods part is the Righteousnesse of CHRIST Rom. 4.6 called also the Righteousnesse of God Rom. 3.22 the gift of Righteousnes Rom. 5.17 that Righteousnes which is of God Phil. 3.9 the Righteousnesse of Faith and the Righteousnesse of the Gospell 2 It is termed the Righteousnesse of Christ Note because Christ is the Efficient cause thereof the Righteousnesse of God because GOD giueth the same freely and imputeth it vnto vs approueth it in his iudgement the Righteousnesse of Faith because we attaine vnto it or apprehend it by Faith onely and the Righteousnes of the Gospell because it is made manifest and reuealed in the Gospell The Righteousnes of Christ hath two parts 3 This Righteousnes being but one in number hath two parts 1. The Perfect fulfilling of the law of God 2. The Voluntarie payment of the punishment for our disobedience I. Fulfilling of the Law which is two-fold 4 THe Perfect fulfilling of the law is the full and exact conformitie of Christs humane nature and actions with the will of God reuealed in both tables of the Decalogue 5 And of this Perfect Conformity there are two members 1. Innocencie 2. Sanctitie or holinesse 6 The Innocencie of Christ 1. Innocencie is that immunity or freedome from Sin either Originall or Actuall For Christ neither had nor committed any sinne for hee was both cōceiued and borne without sinne and all his life time he neuer transgressed against the law of God either by fact or word or will or cogitation or by any euill concupiscence Ioh. 8.46.2 Corinth 5.21 1. Pet. 1.19 1. Pet. 2.22 Heb. 4.15 7 The Sanctitie of Christ 2. Sanctity is that integritie or purity which Christ had from the first moment of his conceptiō and retained in all his cogitatiōs words deeds and desires vntill his verie death vpon the Crosse Luk. 1.35 Act. 3.14 Act. 4.27.30 1. Ioh. 2.20 Apoc. 3.7 II. Bearing of the punishment 8 The Voluntary payment of the punishment for our disobedience is the whole humiliation of Christ from the beginning of his Conceptiō vntill his Glorification Philip. 2.7.8 Rom. 8.3 Galath 3.13 alibi passim Note well 9 Of these two mēbers cōsisteth that perfect and euery way absolute Righteousnesse whereby wee are iustified which both the Iustice of God the Office of a Mediatour and Saluation of Man necessarily required 10 I. The Iustice of God Because the Iustice of GOD could not otherwise haue been satisfied but by perfect fulfilling the Law and bearing the punishmēt which we had deserued for the breach thereof 11. II. The Office of a Mediatour Because our Suretie was reallie to pay the full price of our Redemption both actiuely by doing passiuely by suffring those things which we ought to haue performed 12 III. The Saluation of Man Because wee could neuer haue been redeemed otherwise than by satisfying the law and iustice of God by the perfect obedience and death of our Surety and Mediatour The Materiall cause Passiuely taken 13 The Materiall Cause of our Iustification Passiuely taken are all the Elect Rom. 8.33 being first in the state of Nature vngodlie Rom. 4.5 God iustifieth the vngodly and then in the state of supernaturall Grace beleeuing Rom. 3.22 The righteousnes of God by the faith of Iesus Christ is manifested vnto all and vpon all that beleeue 14 So much for the Materiall Cause of our Iustification Now of the Formall A PRAYER FOR liuely sense and assurance of Justification O Most merciful Lord Iesus Christ which shalt iudge al my words and workes or rather answere both for mee and them so direct and order and appoint my hart my thought tōgue and labours to thy honour and glorie that as thou art the Way the Truth and the Life so I doe nothing but walke in thy way think of thy trueth and aime at thy life that by a godlie
