unto_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n while_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n you_o do_v still_o arrogate_v they_o as_o a_o condition_n on_o the_o creature_n part_n you_o the_o more_o

will_v find_v the_o power_n thereof_o so_o deep_o descend_v into_o his_o soul_n that_o all_o the_o desire_n trust_v and_o hope_v thereof_o will_v be_v fix_v on_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o and_o to_o

since_o i_o have_v in_o a_o few_o plain_a word_n tell_v you_o that_o which_o with_o much_o nicety_n swell_v among_o you_o to_o volume_n real_o sir_n if_o i_o may_v use_v the_o liberty_n of_o answer_v by_o you_o permit_v i_o will_v say_v what_o a_o sad_a thing_n be_v it_o to_o have_v a_o wrong_n and_o conceit_a apprehension_n of_o thing_n since_o you_o have_v in_o a_o few_o involve_a word_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n obscure_v and_o confound_v a_o plain_a point_n of_o truth_n that_o notwithstanding_o of_o express_a scripture-light_n yet_o it_o have_v necessary_o require_v a_o great_a many_o word_n clear_o to_o unsold_a it_o there_o remain_v now_o to_o be_v consider_v the_o main_a reason_n whereby_o as_o you_o shut_v up_o so_o you_o will_v seem_v to_o enforce_v the_o opinion_n which_o we_o have_v hear_v and_o that_o be_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n which_o you_o say_v your_o way_n of_o justification_n do_v clear_o declare_v as_o be_v that_o whereupon_o we_o shall_v be_v solemn_o judge_v justify_v and_o absolve_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o afterward_o you_o add_v that_o it_o may_v correct_v the_o error_n of_o many_o carnal_a christian_n who_o love_n well_o to_o hear_v of_o salvation_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n provide_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v nothing_o themselves_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v it_o be_v answer_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v many_o seem_a christian_n who_o have_v a_o name_n that_o they_o live_v and_o be_v dead_a who_o have_v and_o do_v delight_n in_o a_o form_n of_o knowledge_n but_o want_v the_o power_n of_o who_o delusion_n the_o error_n which_o you_o mention_v may_v be_v a_o part_n be_v a_o old_a and_o true_a regret_n and_o yet_o the_o explication_n by_o you_o deliver_v be_v so_o many_o way_n unsound_a and_o peccant_a as_o we_o have_v hear_v can_v possible_o be_v a_o antidote_n 2._o as_o these_o carnal_a christian_n pretend_v to_o lay_v hold_n on_o jesus_n christ_n for_o righteousness_n and_o yet_o whole_o neglect_v the_o study_n of_o holiness_n be_v of_o all_o man_n the_o most_o sad_o deceive_v and_o most_o wretched_a deceiver_n so_o your_o manner_n of_o justification_n derogate_a from_o the_o holy_a justice_n of_o god_n and_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n flatter_v the_o natural_a man_n pride_n to_o which_o of_o all_o vice_n we_o be_v most_o prone_a and_o seduce_a soul_n from_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v less_o dangerous_a and_o pernicious_a but_o 3._o this_o your_o reason_n for_o depart_v from_o justification_n by_o faith_n only_o as_o encourage_v to_o licentiousness_n be_v so_o direct_o the_o objection_n which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n take_v notice_n of_o and_o full_o answer_v after_o his_o have_v declare_v the_o truth_n of_o justification_n as_o by_o we_o profess_v that_o we_o be_v thereby_o exceed_o fortify_v the_o passage_n be_v thus_o the_o apostle_n have_v show_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o that_o many_o be_v make_v righteous_a and_o sum_v up_o the_o whole_a matter_n that_o it_o be_v grace_n that_o reign_v through_o righteousness_n unto_o eternal_a life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n he_o subjoin_v what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o shall_v we_o continow_v in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v see_v it_o be_v not_o by_o our_o work_n but_o of_o free_a grace_n through_o faith_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v from_o sin_n shall_v we_o therefore_o in_o as_o much_o as_o sin_n commend_v grace_n and_o our_o good_a work_n availl_v not_o continow_v in_o sin_n that_o grace_n may_v abound_v the_o plain_a insinuation_n of_o what_o you_o object_n now_o hear_v the_o apostle_n answer_v both_o for_o we_o and_o himself_o 1._o he_o save_v justification_n by_o faith_n only_o can_v encourage_v to_o sin_n because_o such_o as_o do_v thereby_o true_o lay_v hold_v on_o jesus_n christ_n partake_v of_o his_o death_n and_o be_v make_v conformable_a thereto_o how_o shall_v they_o then_o that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n live_v any_o long_a therein_o sin_n may_v indeed_o remain_v but_o that_o they_o who_o through_o faith_n in_o his_o death_n be_v plant_v in_o the_o likeness_n thereof_o and_o become_v as_o crucify_v with_o he_o shall_v live_v any_o long_o in_o sin_n be_v not_o possible_a to_o the_o same_o purpose_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n john_n say_v whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n and_o he_o can_v sin_v because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o yet_o if_o any_o false_a pretender_n shall_v therefore_o say_v either_o that_o he_o can_v transgress_v or_o that_o his_o transgression_n be_v no_o sin_n and_o so_o license_v himself_o unto_o wickedness_n he_o but_o deceive_v himself_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o 2._o paul_n say_v that_o justification_n through_o faith_n import_v a_o more_o certain_a assurance_n of_o good_a work_n than_o any_o thing_n by_o you_o urge_v the_o necessity_n of_o good_a work_n which_o you_o plead_v for_o be_v only_o that_o of_o a_o condition_n strict_a indeed_o as_o to_o its_o obligation_n but_o very_o uncertain_a if_o not_o desperate_a as_o to_o its_o cause_n and_o real_a existence_n be_v previous_o require_v unto_o our_o acceptance_n by_o and_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v whereas_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o plain_o that_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o justification_n by_o he_o and_o by_o we_o assert_v the_o necessity_n of_o good_a work_n be_v causal_o certain_a depend_v upon_o such_o infallible_a cause_n that_o wherever_o true_a faith_n be_v the_o study_n of_o holiness_n must_v necessary_o ensue_v and_o where_o this_o be_v not_o the_o pretence_n of_o faith_n and_o justification_n thereby_o be_v but_o vain_a and_o groundless_a for_o see_v by_o faith_n the_o only_a requisite_a on_o our_o part_n for_o justification_n we_o be_v not_o only_o dead_a indeed_o with_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o sin_n but_o plant_v
