sound Protestants who own Justification by Faith only not without Faith nor by Faith and Works MR. Hoskish in his Discourse of the Imputation of Sin on Christ says roundly and plainly the Truth I plead for is defended by Mr. Baxter and Dr. Sherlock blessed Company Mr. Alsop's Antisozzo is the best and most accurate Anti-Baxterian Book I ever saw all sound no more need be said Baxterianism I think is spiced Popery but Crispianism is spiced Rantism Mr. Hoskith told me That in the second Part of Mr. Troughton's Lutherus Redivivus were things not common on that Subject Now Mr. T. is dead and Mr. Lobb too and Mr. Alsop will proceed no further to speak as favourably as I can I wish some great Man among you may appear if occasion be Man is justified not by the Works of the Law says St. Paul Mr. Clark's late noise by Works and Works of the Law is nothing St. Paul speaks of the Moral Law Rom. 7.19 By which came the Knowledg of Sin by which every Mouth was stop'd v. 13 14 15. I abhor all that deny the Integrity of Baxterians Melancthon was not much better if as sound read his Loci Communes Not by that Law is Man justifyed that said Thou shalt not Covet not by that Law That he that doth them shall live in them by these Man could not be justifyed These were Moral Laws sure not Ceremonial not Pharasaical not external Acts only these do not all this The sufferings of Christ are subjectively infinite as of one that is God as Sin by our Divines is often said to be objectively Infinite as committed against an infinite Being by his Stripes are we healed Beware you seek not to be the Death of Christ's death by making it void or not of Effect for its main Ends and Purposes Some you know of late besides Sherlock deny Adam Enoch Noah Abraham and others to be saved by Faith in Christ or to know much of him tho Christ says Abraham saw his day and was glad and Paul says Abel offer'd a Sacrifice by Faith but one place with me well improv'd is of great use Enoch Prophesied so Jude saith Enoch the seventh from Adam Prophesied of these things behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints to execute Vengeance And we know Paul tells us this Lord is Christ who so cometh 1. He that knew the greater things of Christ must the lesser he knew him to be a judg of the World and therefore the Saviour of it 2. He could not Prophesy to others but what he knew and they might and did understand Luke 24.27 Many things were written of Christ in Moses the Psalms and Prophets Think highly of the work of Conversion Mr. Baxter was sound here so are most of his Followers not all Paul compares the Power of converting Souls to God to the power of raising Christ Had all been done by common Providence and Man's great Care he need not have compar'd this Work of changing the Will and converting a Sinner to the mighty Power which rais'd Christ from the Dead Beware of loosing things and still retaining words some will keep the word Repentance but condemn the thing others the word Faith but mean somewhat else And you find these Mens Notions duelling together part then for pities sake Tho I know the one is but as a sore Finger to the other Crispianism which is as the withering of the whole Arm. Carry it civilly towards sober Baxterians most in this City preach well and Discourse so and are not so corrupt as their Master I heard only one preach at random He knew not what was become of Noah Sampson Solomon Ecclesiastes was not his Confessions Sampson died with Revenge in his Heart Did God ever work a Miracle to answer a Prayer of Revenge He consider'd them as Philistines as the Churches Enemies more than his and the loss of his Eyes more as a wrong to the Church than to him who was the Pillar of it at that time under God We can better tell what is become of these then what will become of him Other Baxterians loath'd this I mean the Conscientious ones that believe their common Doctrine not the Politick ones that believe with us but dare not say it because these Men have gotten the Ascendant in this City and can Ruin or Advance many Ministers at their Pleasure There attempts against me I care not for for I am glad we have their help against Crispianism I wish their Doctrine end not in Arminianism at last some are gone others going more would had not Mr. Williams's Restrictions and refining of his Master's Doctrine hindred As for Dr. Crisp we are often told of him That we understand him not Nor he himself say I. In what inextricable Perplexities did he involve himself then saying one thing then another It is often observ'd that they that are zealots for wild unusual Notions fancy they see them every time they take up their Bible and every where who could imagine Dr. Crisp should see in Heb. 11.1 That when Men be Believers they know they were the Children of God and lov'd with a complacential Love in a state of Impenitency or in short there see Justification before Faith Keep clear in this matter we are justified by Faith not without only not with Works Let that place be much in your Minds Rom. 3.21.22 But now the Righteousness of God without the Law is manifested being manifested by the Law and the Prophets Even the Righteousness of God which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe for there is 〈◊〉 difference It is call'd the Righteousness of God as God or Christ is the subject of it not efficient Where is our Righteousness that we are Subjects of call'd God's Righteousness because he is the Efficient In this sense my Repentance Love Faith may be call'd God's Repentance Faith Love This is call'd the Righteousness of Faith as by Faith it is made ours not in the Effects only for so God's attributes are ours but by Imputation That Abraham's Righteousness was the Righteousness of Faith and that that Righteousness of Faith was the Righteousness of Faith in Christ and that as Abraham was justified so are we Rom. 4.11 12 13 14. Paul and Mr. Alsop have excellently prov'd Circumcision was a Seal of that Righteousness and that he should be the Father of many Nations an unanswerable place for Infant-Baptism by the way Heb. 11.9 There was the Exemplar and Copy the Archetype and Ectype the promis'd Land was a strange Land to one that look'd for a Heavenly one so Mr. A. against Sherlock I could even Zabarellize that excellent Book He observes My Hand relieves me when it receives an Alms the Cup refresheth me when the Wine in it doth so so Faith justifies as it applies Christ thus he after others and I after him and some of you if you please after me Keep clear I pray you in the matter of
