A74995 A glass of justification, or The vvork of faith with povver. Wherein the apostles doctrine touching justification without the deeds of the law, is opened; and the sence in which gospel-obedience, as well as faith, is necessary to justification, is stated. Wherein also the nature of that dead faith is detected, by which multitudes that hope for salvation are (as is to be feared) deceived; and the true nature and distinguishing properties of the faith of Gods elect, is handled. Finally, the doctrine of the imputation of faith for righteousness is herein also briefly discussed; and the great wisdom and folly of men about the proof of their faith, touched ...

be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v not_o virtue_n enough_o in_o christ_n to_o heal_v they_o all_o but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o few_o that_o touch_v he_o by_o faith_n to_o draw_v virtue_n out_o of_o he_o for_o their_o cure_n nay_o they_o be_v afraid_a of_o be_v heal_v like_o some_o beggar_n who_o keep_v their_o sore_n open_a and_o unhealed_a on_o purpose_n because_o they_o make_v a_o advantage_n of_o they_o as_o they_o do_v of_o they_o such_o as_o it_o be_v matth._n 13.15_o they_o have_v close_v their_o eye_n etc._n etc._n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v convert_v and_o i_o shall_v heal_v they_o and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o many_o that_o be_v in_o part_n heal_v yet_o be_v not_o more_o thorough_o cure_v but_o that_o there_o be_v too_o many_o sign_n and_o symptom_n of_o their_o old_a disease_n still_o hang_v upon_o they_o and_o many_o grudge_n of_o their_o old_a fit_n so_o that_o the_o case_n remain_v in_o doubt_n with_o they_o whether_o they_o shall_v live_v or_o die_v sure_o it_o be_v because_o though_o they_o have_v some_o kind_n of_o faith_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o exercise_v it_o about_o this_o thing_n or_o but_o very_o little_a it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v have_v more_o communion_n with_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n grace_n the_o value_n and_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n blood_n in_o relation_n to_o pardon_v and_o god_n unwillingness_n to_o destroy_v and_o readiness_n to_o forgive_v poor_a sinner_n but_o have_v not_o acquaint_v themselves_o much_o with_o that_o heavenly_a art_n and_o method_n of_o faith_n by_o which_o the_o saint_n depend_v upon_o the_o lord_n for_o his_o communication_n of_o virtue_n and_o strength_n for_o the_o heal_n of_o their_o soul_n of_o spiritual_a distemper_n and_o restore_v they_o to_o a_o spiritual_a health_n and_o soundness_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v as_o much_o affect_v with_o the_o disease_n that_o annoy_v man_n soul_n as_o ever_o he_o be_v with_o those_o that_o afflict_v the_o body_n and_o delight_v every_o whit_n as_o much_o in_o the_o cure_n of_o the_o spiritual_a as_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o heal_v the_o corporal_a in_o as_o much_o as_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o his_o creature_n good_a be_v more_o concern_v in_o these_o than_o in_o the_o other_o but_o that_o which_o obstruct_v the_o cure_n of_o man_n body_n and_o soul_n too_o by_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n obstruct_v the_o perfect_a cure_n of_o man_n soul_n by_o he_o now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o be_v the_o want_n of_o faith_n in_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v cure_v christ_n can_v do_v no_o mighty_a work_n in_o this_o kind_n in_o some_o place_n where_o he_o come_v save_v on_o a_o very_a few_o that_o do_v believe_v because_o of_o their_o unbelief_n matth._n 13.58_o compare_v with_o mar._n 6.5_o 6._o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o eliseus_n as_o christ_n observe_v when_o there_o be_v many_o leper_n in_o israel_n need_v cleanse_v

so_o it_o be_v now_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o leprosy_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o cure_v in_o all_o as_o well_o as_o in_o some_o be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o by_o faith_n draw_v virtue_n from_o christ_n in_o who_o it_o be_v for_o their_o cure_n it_o be_v not_o because_o christ_n be_v not_o as_o sensible_a of_o the_o condition_n of_o man_n now_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n as_o he_o be_v while_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n for_o we_o have_v not_o a_o high_a priest_n which_o can_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o infirmity_n heb._n 4.15_o nor_o be_v it_o because_o he_o

be_v tempt_v heb._n 2.18_o but_o as_o i_o say_v the_o reason_n of_o man_n languish_v under_o their_o spiritual_a disease_n either_o without_o any_o cure_n at_o all_o or_o that_o which_o be_v very_o

5.40_o and_o therefore_o they_o go_v without_o it_o and_o so_o if_o man_n will_v not_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o health_n and_o cure_n no_o marvel_n if_o they_o remain_v unhealthful_a in_o their_o
