arm_v with_o authority_n from_o heaven_n as_o by_o that_o mean_v it_o do_v and_o when_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o that_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v produce_v lay_v open_a and_o urge_v to_o make_v

32_o 45_o 46._o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o which_o i_o must_v add_v to_o obviate_v a_o objection_n and_o another_o to_o explain_v and_o confirm_v something_o i_o have_v assert_v i_o know_v some_o and_o perhaps_o yourself_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o object_n that_o the_o tenor_n of_o my_o reason_a touch_v god_n impute_v faith_n itself_o and_o other_o inherent_a grace_n for_o

which_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n be_v therein_o promise_v justification_n be_v a_o juridical_a act_n of_o god_n as_o judge_n which_o do_v not_o make_v a_o man_n righteous_a as_o

golden_a chain_n but_o be_v place_v in_o order_n as_o go_v before_o both_o in_o effectual_a call_n the_o other_o thing_n i_o will_v add_v for_o explanation_n and_o confirmation_n be_v this_o whereas_o i_o have_v say_v that_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n be_v comprehensive_a of_o repentance_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n now_o lest_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v satisfy_v therewith_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o this_o plain_a account_n why_o we_o can_v reasonable_o understand_v otherwise_o for_o the_o scripture_n do_v exclude_v such_o from_o share_v in_o the_o save_a benefit_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o be_v impenitent_a unregenerate_a and_o disobedient_a to_o the_o gospel_n luke_n 13.3_o joh._n 3.3_o rom._n 2.8_o and_o if_o so_o than_o no_o man_n can_v share_v in_o those_o save_a benefit_n whereof_o justification_n be_v one_o until_o his_o faith_n do_v produce_v repentance_n regeneration_n and_o obedience_n unless_o you_o will_v suppose_v that_o which_o no_o man_n do_v that_o these_o be_v no_o efffect_n of_o faith_n for_o he_o that_o believe_v be_v bear_v of_o god_n be_v to_o a_o degree_n renew_v to_o his_o likeness_n 1_o john_n 5.1_o and_o when_o i_o say_v thus_o i_o be_o not_o of_o opinion_n that_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v until_o they_o have_v fulfil_v some_o time_n in_o a_o course_n of_o holy_a live_n and_o new_a obedience_n internal_a and_o external_a but_o when_o a_o man_n so_o believe_v as_o that_o such_o a_o real_a change_n be_v thereby_o wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n as_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o a_o new_a life_n for_o the_o present_a and_o the_o foundation_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n for_o the_o future_a then_o undoubted_o he_o pass_v out_o of_o a_o unjustified_a into_o a_o justify_v state_n this_o change_n in_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n by_o mean_n of_o faith_n do_v first_o constitute_v a_o man_n a_o good_a man_n and_o when_o this_o change_n first_o take_v place_n than_o god_n law_n be_v first_o put_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o write_v in_o the_o heart_n upon_o which_o god_n promise_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n to_o be_v our_o god_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v his_o people_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o our_o unrighteousness_n and_o our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n to_o remember_v no_o more_o hebr._fw-la 8.10_o 12._o and_o 10.16_o 17._o and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o qualification_n upon_o which_o god_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n here_o mention_v promise_v to_o be_v our_o god_n and_o to_o forgive_v our_o sin_n be_v not_o mention_v under_o the_o name_n or_o notion_n of_o faith_n or_o believe_v but_o of_o have_v the_o divine_a law_n put_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o write_v in_o the_o heart_n which_o will_v be_v somewhat_o strange_a if_o this_o writing_n the_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o condition_n without_o which_o god_n will_v not_o vouchsafe_v unto_o any_o man_n that_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o covenant_n justification_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n indeed_o but_o that_o though_o faith_n be_v not_o here_o mention_v yet_o it_o be_v suppose_v and_o employ_v in_o as_o much_o as_o without_o it_o the_o law_n can_v be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o sense_n we_o speak_v of_o it_o now_o but_o then_o when_o at_o other_o time_n faith_n only_o be_v mention_v as_o that_o which_o qualify_v man_n for_o justification_n and_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n yet_o then_o this_o writing_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n be_v also_o to_o be_v understand_v for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o put_n of_o the_o law_n into_o the_o mind_n and_o write_v it_o in_o the_o heart_n will_v be_v mention_v in_o a_o description_n of_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n as_o that_o qualification_n upon_o which_o god_n will_v be_v our_o god_n take_v we_o for_o his_o people_n and_o forgive_v our_o sin_n which_o imply_v justification_n if_o any_o faith_n or_o faith_n in_o any_o respect_n short_a of_o produce_v this_o effect_n will_v be_v available_a and_o sufficient_a unto_o justification_n it_o be_v true_a the_o scripture_n in_o some_o place_n tell_v we_o that_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n without_o tell_v we_o what_o or_o what_o manner_n of_o faith_n this_o be_v but_o then_o in_o other_o place_n it_o be_v plain_o describe_v to_o we_o by_o the_o nature_n of_o its_o operation_n as_o that_o it_o purify_v the_o heart_n act_v 15.9_o work_v by_o love_n gal._n 5.6_o overcome_v the_o world_n 1_o john_n 5.4_o and_o sanctifi_v the_o whole_a man_n act_n 26.18_o we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o inseparable_a effect_n of_o faith_n as_o here_o the_o write_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n be_v sometime_o mention_v as_o those_o thing_n which_o qualify_v we_o for_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o sometime_o faith_n itself_o only_o but_o if_o we_o will_v take_v the_o whole_a testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n together_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o both_o be_v intend_v and_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o contend_v as_o some_o do_v about_o divide_v these_o in_o qualify_a we_o for_o justification_n as_o part_n of_o that_o evangelical_n righteousness_n which_o will_v be_v impute_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n after_o all_o this_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o sir_n that_o there_o be_v a_o sense_n in_o which_o it_o be_v not_o disagreeable_a to_o the_o scripture_n to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o such_o act_n of_o
