eternal_a death_n and_o wrath_n why_o the_o sentence_n of_o eternal_a burn_n shall_v not_o pass_v on_o thou_o what_o have_v thou_o to_o say_v what_o have_v thou_o to_o plead_v consider_v my_o

of_o god_n then_o where_o will_v go_v i_o say_v for_o the_o law_n accuse_v you_o and_o cry_v for_o vengeance_n because_o it_o be_v break_v sinner_n what_o do_v thou_o say_v thou_o can_v not_o plead_v the_o law_n for_o thy_o conscience_n will_v accuse_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v not_o keep_v that_o or_o 2._o will_v you_o plead_v the_o goodness_n of_o your_o own_o heart_n what_o be_v that_o you_o

man_n be_v deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n and_o say_v the_o wise_a man_n he_o that_o trust_v to_o his_o heart_n be_v a_o fool_n this_o will_v fool_v thou_o at_o last_o and_o the_o lord_n he_o

thou_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o open_a unto_o i_o will_v this_o i_o say_v be_v a_o plea_n mercy_n mercy_n mercy_n o_o this_o be_v that_o the_o sinner_n think_v be_v the_o only_a plea_n nothing_o but_o mercy_n lord_n for_o i_o be_o guilty_a therefore_o the_o sinner_n conclude_v he_o will_v cry_v mercy_n but_o pray_v take_v heed_n you_o do_v not_o miss_v it_o here_o you_o must_v consider_v upon_o what_o account_n god_n pardon_v our_o sin_n you_o be_v grievous_o mistake_v if_o you_o think_v he_o will_v pardon_v your_o sin_n because_o you_o cry_v mercy_n you_o must_v consider_v i_o say_v on_o what_o account_n the_o lord_n receive_v sinner_n into_o his_o favour_n for_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n bring_v in_o his_o plea_n my_o justice_n be_v despise_v my_o name_n be_v

the_o breach_n of_o my_o law_n the_o holy_a god_n have_v vow_v psal_n 95.11_o such_o be_v his_o pure_a nature_n that_o he_o will_v have_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o wrong_n do_v to_o he_o his_o mercy_n can_v take_v place_n till_o his_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v while_o his_o justice_n be_v break_v his_o mercy_n can_v be_v reconcile_v therefore_o in_o this_o case_n there_o must_v be_v

tear_n for_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o his_o word_n that_o the_o sinner_n must_v be_v justify_v or_o not_o pardon_v john_n 3.16_o rom._n 5.1_o the_o sinner_n must_v be_v justify_v or_o condemn_v and_o the_o law_n stand_v up_o and_o put_v in_o his_o plea_n against_o the_o sinner_n and_o say_v i_o be_o break_v in_o piece_n by_o this_o rebel_n for_o he_o never_o observe_v i_o nor_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o i_o thou_o holy_a god_n have_v appoint_v i_o as_o the_o canon_n and_o rule_n that_o this_o creature_n shall_v have_v steer_v all_o the_o action_n of_o his_o life_n by_o but_o he_o have_v slight_v and_o disregard_v i_o and_o i_o must_v have_v satisfaction_n for_o thou_o have_v say_v curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o now_o therefore_o you_o see_v that_o satisfaction_n must_v be_v make_v or_o the_o sinner_n must_v be_v damn_v 5._o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o consider_v also_o that_o since_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v so_o well_o as_o pardon_v we_o must_v of_o necessity_n then_o plead_v guilty_a and_o our_o plea_n must_v not_o be_v mercy_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o mercy_n for_o that_o be_v to_o beg_v as_o a_o good_a man_n say_v and_o not_o to_o plead_v nor_o be_v it_o at_o all_o to_o be_v justify_v but_o only_o forgive_v i_o say_v to_o be_v pardon_v without_o satisfaction_n be_v not_o to_o be_v justify_v but_o only_o forgive_v we_o must_v therefore_o be_v acquit_v and_o justify_v and_o how_o or_o after_o what_o manner_n shall_v we_o do_v this_o let_v we_o consider_v whither_o this_o can_v be_v do_v by_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o we_o can_v faith_n justify_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n can_v our_o repentance_n do_v it_o can_v habit_n of_o grace_n as_o one_o word_n it_o do_v it_o do_v these_o acquit_v we_o do_v any_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v do_v or_o can_v do_v justify_v we_o o_o consider_v my_o belove_a if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o obedience_n righteousness_n satisfaction_n and_o merit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n it_o must_v be_v something_o else_o it_o be_v either_o something_o do_v by_o we_o or_o something_o wrought_v in_o we_o or_o something_o do_v without_o we_o by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o justify_v we_o it_o be_v either_o a_o righteousness_n wrought_v in_o we_o or_o it_o be_v a_o righteousness_n wrought_v by_o another_o and_o impute_v to_o we_o it_o must_v be_v one_o of_o these_o second_o the_o debt_n must_v be_v pay_v either_o by_o lay_v it_o down_o ourselves_o or_o by_o have_v a_o surety_n that_o

by_o which_o christ_n do_v full_o and_o complete_o answer_v the_o demand_n of_o justice_n to_o every_o jot_n that_o it_o be_v this_o righteousness_n and_o not_o inherent_a righteousness_n how_o do_v

grace_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o which_o will_v antiquate_v that_o text_n rom._n 4.5_o but_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a his_o

that_o faith_n will_v not_o be_v impute_v or_o account_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o object_n jesus_n christ_n but_o faith_n will_v be_v account_v to_o we_o for_o

that_o work_n may_v as_o well_o be_v say_v to_o be_v our_o actual_a righteousness_n to_o justification_n as_o inherent_a grace_n how_o
so_o why_o faith_n be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o believe_v be_v a_o creature_n though_o we_o do_v it_o by_o grace_n inherent_a yet_o it_o be_v the_o creature_n himself_o that_o believe_v faith_n be_v call_v a_o work_n it_o be_v faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n and_o love_n be_v call_v a_o labour_n or_o work_v of_o the_o creature_n and_o so_o other_o grace_n as_o they_o be_v act_n and_o improve_v by_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o creature_n so_o than_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o righteousness_n inherent_a than_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n as_o a_o act_n and_o so_o the_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n or_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v exclude_v in_o point_n of_o justification_n as_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o and_o our_o own_o good_a work_n will_v be_v put_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o the_o quaker_n say_v that_o they_o be_v justify_v by_o live_v up_o to_o the_o light_n within_o why_o say_v we_o then_o you_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n hold_v you_o there_o say_v they_o for_o we_o can_v do_v any_o work_n but_o it_o be_v god_n by_o his_o mighty_a power_n that_o work_v in_o we_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o we_o this_o be_v our_o righteousness_n this_o justify_v we_o now_o pray_v take_v notice_n it_o sall_n out_o then_o thus_o the_o spirit_n as_o they_o call_v it_o be_v as_o a_o leader_n and_o guide_n as_o a_o enlightener_n and_o it_o enlighter_n the_o understanding_n inform_v the_o person_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o by_o its_o powerful_a operation_n it_o incline_v the_o will_n now_o grant_v this_o that_o therefore_o the_o person_n be_v

some_o sense_n the_o whole_a body_n be_v discharge_v and_o that_o before_o the_o believer_n act_v faith_n in_o christ_n though_o not_o in_o every_o sense_n for_o if_o that_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a
