A88089	Vindiciæ Christi, et obex errori Arminiano: = a plea for Christ, and obstrvction to the first passage, whereat the errors of Arminus steal into the hearts of men: shewing Christs satisfaction in his humiliation, to be the sole price of our redemption; and evidencing faith in that satisfaction, no instrumental cause of our justification in the fight of God, nor condition given us for life. Delivered in three sermons: by Richard Lewthwat Master of Arts, in Caius Colledge in Cambridge, at his Parish of Wigston in Norfolk.

we_o that_o our_o salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n be_v purchase_v and_o bring_v about_o for_o we_o by_o christ_n by_o his_o blood_n this_o my_o gloss_n on_o these_o word_n seem_v to_o i_o right_o and_o good_a thus_o expound_v they_o be_v so_o consentaneous_a to_o other_o scripture_n as_o first_o that_o of_o isaial_n speak_v of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o quote_v by_o paul_n roman_n the_o 10._o chap._n ver_fw-la 15._o how_o beautiful_a be_v the_o foot_n of_o they_o that_o bring_v glad_a tiding_n of_o good_a thing_n he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o bring_v good_a thing_n save_v but_o by_o way_n of_o tiding_n by_o way_n of_o intelligence_n or_o as_o isaiah_n from_o whence_o the_o apostle_n have_v it_o chap._n the_o 52._o v._o 7._o that_o publish_v these_o good_a thing_n which_o he_o there_o call_v peace_n one_o while_n &_o salvation_n by_o and_o by_o now_o you_o know_v that_o to_o publish_v be_v but_o to_o proclaim_v or_o make_v know_v abroad_o by_o way_n of_o voice_n or_o writing_n thing_n pass_v before_o as_o do_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n a_o most_o notable_a one_o we_o have_v for_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o end_n of_o my_o last_o text_n the_o second_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n chap._n the_o 1._o ver_fw-la 10._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n have_v bring_v life_n and_o immortality_n to_o light_n through_o the_o gospel_n he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n have_v bring_v life_n by_o the_o gospel_n as_o if_o it_o have_v do_v that_o for_o we_o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o do_v or_o accomplish_v for_o we_o before_o no_o he_o say_v he_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o light_n that_o be_v he_o have_v make_v it_o apparent_a and_o visible_a before_o we_o that_o be_v not_o so_o before_o take_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o last_o in_o a_o word_n the_o doctrine_n concern_v christ_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o life_n the_o gospel_n of_o salvation_n yea_o but_o life_n and_o salvation_n be_v transmit_v to_o the_o word_n and_o gospel_n but_o in_o a_o figurative_a speech_n but_o improper_o that_o be_v as_o be_v manifest_v and_o make_v know_v to_o we_o by_o that_o word_n and_o gospel_n that_o they_o be_v accomplish_v and_o wrought_v for_o we_o by_o the_o undertake_n and_o performance_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n not_o that_o they_o be_v thereby_o very_o and_o real_o procure_v for_o we_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n our_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v we_o or_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v thereby_o thus_o figurative_o or_o improper_o as_o be_v the_o mean_n whereby_o that_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v we_o sight_n assurance_n or_o hope_v of_o our_o future_a enjoyment_n of_o eternal_a life_n through_o christ_n so_o then_o in_o a_o word_n to_o show_v how_o far_o we_o be_v go_v in_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n abraham_n believe_v god_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o not_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n as_o be_v like_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n for_o which_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o death_n but_o in_o a_o improper_a sense_n and_o that_o two_o several_a way_n first_o in_o respect_n to_o god_n be_v high_o please_v with_o that_o grace_n and_o with_o we_o for_o it_o and_o second_o in_o respect_n to_o its_o instrumental_a efficiency_n in_o the_o comfortable_a application_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o benefit_n to_o a_o disconsolate_v soul_n in_o this_o life_n and_o this_o be_v take_v to_o be_v the_o extent_n of_o god_n count_v abraham_n faith_n to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n or_o of_o our_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n my_o doctrine_n and_o inference_n stand_v firm_a and_o unshaken_a and_o its_o this_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o the_o world_n but_o christ_n but_o christ_n crucify_v but_o christ_n suffering_n agony_n and_o travel_n of_o his_o soul_n that_o be_v or_o be_v the_o matter_n mean_n or_o price_n to_o god_n for_o our_o redemption_n and_o salvation_n that_o be_v or_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o father_n with_o the_o son_n for_o our_o eternal_a life_n well_o but_o brethren_n as_o we_o be_v not_o to_o handle_v the_o word_n of_o god_n deceitful_o so_o neither_o the_o gloss_n or_o opinion_n of_o man_n upon_o it_o i_o will_v therefore_o put_v the_o matter_n home_o you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o that_o abraham_n faith_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n though_o not_o in_o the_o forementioned_a proper_a sense_n yet_o in_o a_o improper_a sense_n though_o in_o another_o respect_n than_o i_o have_v yet_o mention_v and_o that_o be_v in_o respect_n to_o its_o instrumental_a efficiency_n in_o the_o real_a application_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n to_o we_o as_o the_o cover_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n from_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n till_o which_o time_n you_o will_v say_v as_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n have_v bring_v christ_n to_o we_o and_o apply_v he_o to_o we_o by_o faith_n we_o be_v not_o look_v upon_o by_o the_o father_n as_o just_a in_o his_o sight_n or_o before_o he_o not_o as_o justify_v by_o christ_n not_o pardon_v by_o the_o father_n not_o absolve_v by_o he_o from_o our_o sin_n not_o belove_v of_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n in_o this_o respect_n you_o will_v say_v our_o faith_n be_v count_v our_o righteousness_n and_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n as_o be_v the_o instrumental_a mean_n or_o cause_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n cover_v and_o hide_v the_o pollute_a soul_n from_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n by_o the_o pure_a garment_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n whereby_o it_o bring_v a_o sinner_n into_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n who_o be_v out_o of_o it_o till_o then_o and_o in_o his_o hatred_n in_o refel_v and_o confute_v the_o objection_n as_o last_v press_v and_o urge_v i_o suppose_v the_o adversary_n will_v no_o more_o take_v the_o field_n with_o the_o former_a force_n i_o confess_v i_o must_v now_o grapple_v with_o their_o faith_n as_o david_n with_o goliath_n of_o the_o philistine_n i_o can_v go_v against_o it_o begird_v with_o any_o former_a armour_n compose_v by_o either_o precede_a or_o contemporary_a fellow-labourer_n in_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n i_o find_v nothing_o in_o all_o their_o work_n fit_v i_o for_o the_o combat_n i_o confess_v i_o find_v many_o like_o the_o second_o son_n in_o our_o saviour_n parable_n who_o to_o his_o father_n bid_v he_o go_v labour_n say_v i_o go_v sir_n but_o go_v not_o i_o meet_v with_o many_o lay_v down_o god_n love_n election_n free_a grace_n &_o justification_n so_o absolute_a as_o if_o they_o will_v deny_v faith_n any_o instrumental_a efficiency_n or_o any_o conditional_a mean_n as_o to_o the_o procure_n of_o our_o future_a glory_n but_o weigh_v their_o future_a progress_n &_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n so_o become_v false_a to_o their_o principle_n and_o to_o the_o trust_v repose_v in_o they_o by_o god_n i_o therefore_o descend_v to_o the_o battle_n as_o david_n do_v namely_o with_o my_o staff_n in_o my_o hand_n the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o some_o smooth_a stone_n i_o mean_v reason_n gather_v out_o of_o the_o brook_n or_o clear_a fountain_n of_o god_n word_n now_o that_o faith_n be_v no_o instrumental_a efficient_a cause_n of_o a_o real_a application_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o cover_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n from_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o that_o whereby_o the_o holy_a spirit_n bring_v a_o sinner_n into_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n who_o be_v out_o of_o it_o and_o in_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n till_o that_o grace_n of_o faith_n come_v into_o his_o soul_n it_o be_v evident_a first_fw-mi from_o scripture_n which_o affirm_v we_o justify_v and_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n before_o the_o income_n of_o faith_n into_o the_o heart_n second_o because_o if_o it_o be_v so_o grant_v to_o faith_n as_o before_o mention_v comfortable_a and_o plain_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v destroy_v yea_o and_o god_n own_o nature_n and_o be_v as_o describe_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v also_o destroy_v i_o will_v to_o the_o work_n according_a to_o this_o platform_n and_o for_o the_o better_a success_n herein_o let_v i_o admonish_v you_o that_o love_n in_o god_n as_o dumoul_v say_v be_v not_o a_o affection_n passion_n or_o desire_v in_o god_n for_o god_n can_v be_v touch_v by_o passion_n as_o be_v impassable_a and_o not_o subject_a to_o affection_n but_o as_o god_n be_v say_v then_o to_o be_v angry_a or_o to_o hate_v when_o he_o will_v punish_v or_o destroy_v so_o love_v in_o god_n be_v a_o certain_a and_o sure_a will_n of_o do_v good_a to_o the_o creature_n whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o may_v right_o be_v say_v to_o be_v love_v of_o god_n to_o
