A41355	The marrow of modern divinity touching both the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace, with their use and end, both in the time of the Old Testament, and in the time of the New : wherein every one may cleerly see how far forth he bringeth the law into the case of justification, and so deserverh the name of legalist : and how far forth he rejecteth the law, in the case of sanctification, and so deserveth the name of Antinomist : with the middle path between them both, which by Iesus Christ leadeth to eternall life : in a dialogue, betwixt Evangelista, a minister of the Gospel, Nomista, a legalist, Antinomista, an Antinomian, and Neophytus, a young Christian / by the author, E.F. ; before the which there is prefixed the commendatory epistles of divers divines of great esteem in the citie of London ; whereunto is also added, the substance of a	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.; Hamilton, Patrick, 1504?-1528.

from_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o our_o own_o work_n and_o do_n and_o exhort_v we_o by_o faith_n to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n only_o at_o the_o hear_n whereof_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n so_o to_o work_v upon_o i_o that_o i_o plain_o perceive_v that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o of_o my_o work_n and_o do_n nor_o nothing_o else_o but_o only_o to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n &_o indeed_o my_o heart_n do_v assent_v unto_o it_o immediate_o so_o that_o i_o go_v home_o with_o abundance_n of_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o believe_v and_o

full_o pardon_v all_o my_o sin_n both_o past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v so_o that_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o what_o sin_n or_o sin_n soever_o i_o commit_v they_o shall_v never_o be_v lay_v to_o

there_o be_v in_o this_o city_n at_o this_o day_n much_o talk_n about_o antinomiaus_n and_o though_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o do_v just_o deserve_v that_o title_n yet_o i_o pray_v

the_o lord_n have_v still_o and_o not_o to_o have_v true_o believe_v in_o christ_n evan._n yea_o indeed_o i_o think_v it_o be_v possible_a for_o do_v not_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o those_o

as_o the_o same_o apostle_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v there_o be_v a_o faith_n that_o be_v not_o feign_v 1.5_o so_o doubtless_o there_o be_v a_o faith_n that_o be_v feign_v and_o sure_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v mark_v 4.26_o 27_o 28._o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v cast_v seed_n into_o the_o ground_n and_o sheuld_v sleep_v and_o rise_v night_n and_o day_n

understand_v that_o true_a faith_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o secret_a power_n of_o god_n by_o little_a and_o little_a text._n so_o that_o sometime_o a_o true_a believer_n himself_o neither_o know_v the_o time_n when_o nor_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v wrought_v so_o that_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o true_a faith_n be_v not_o ordinary_o begin_v increase_v and_o finish_v all_o in_o a_o

it_o seem_v you_o do_v not_o so_o and_o therefore_o though_o you_o have_v have_v and_o have_v still_o much_o peace_n and_o joy_n yet_o that_o be_v no_o infallible_a sign_n that_o your_o faith_n be_v

now_o hear_v of_o his_o performance_n of_o it_o evan._n touch_v this_o point_n the_o scripture_n testify_v that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o purpose_n before_o time_n and_o his_o promise_n in_o

for_o the_o further_a proof_n and_o confirmation_n of_o this_o point_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o as_o jesus_n christ_n the_o second_o adam_n enter_v into_o the_o same_o covenant_n that_o the_o

7.1_o 6._o nom._n sure_o sir_n you_o do_v mistake_v for_o i_o remember_v the_o word_n of_o the_o first_o verse_n be_v how_o that_o tbe_n law_n have_v dominion_n over_o a_o man_n as_o long_o as_o he_o

that_o in_o our_o last_o translation_n the_o word_n be_v so_o render_v but_o godly_a and_o learned_a tindall_n render_v it_o thus_o remember_v you_o not_o brethren_n that_o the_o law_n have_v

but_o i_o pray_v sir_n what_o be_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o this_o double_a death_n or_o wherein_o do_v this_o freedom_n from_o the_o law_n consist_v evan._n death_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o

be_v dead_a so_o that_o by_o this_o double_a death_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o the_o bargain_n or_o covenant_n which_o be_v make_v between_o god_n and_o man_n at_o

a_o believer_n as_o he_o be_v a_o believer_n either_o hope_n for_o eternal_a life_n or_o fear_v eternal_a death_n upon_o any_o such_o term_n no_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o 3.19_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o law_n say_v on_o any_o such_o term_n it_o say_v to_o they_o who_o be_v under_o the_o law_n 6.14_o but_o believer_n be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n and_o so_o have_v escape_v eternal_a death_n and_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n only_o by_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n 13.39_o for_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o

when_o many_o among_o we_o who_o have_v it_o more_o clear_o manifest_a do_v the_o like_a evan._n and_o true_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o all_o man_n natural_o do_v so_o for_o man_n natural_o do_v apprehend_v god_n to_o be_v the_o great_a master_n of_o heaven_n and_o himself_o to_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o must_v do_v his_o work_n before_o he_o can_v have_v his_o
