A85329	Londons gate to the Lords Table. Where the eldership doth sit doing their office aright, in discovering and shutting out the ignorant, prophane, and meere civill honest man : in suspending the suspected formall, legall, and antinomisticall professor, and in drawing in the weakest humble beleeving soule. In a dialogue betweene a minister of the Gospell. Alexander an ignorant prophane man. Simon a proud professor. And Matthias an humble penitent. Imprimatur Edmund Calamy.	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.	1646 (1646)	Wing F995; Thomason E1213_1; ESTC R210120	58,722	302

that_o the_o jew_n speak_v against_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v by_o paul_n contradict_v and_o blaspheme_v whereupon_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n wax_v bold_a say_v the_o text_n verse_n 46._o and_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v first_o have_v be_v speak_v to_o you_o but_o see_v you_o put_v it_o from_o you_o and_o judge_v yourselves_o unworthy_a of_o everlasting_a life_n lo_o we_o turn_v to_o the_o gentile_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o these_o jew_n who_o doubtless_o be_v very_o know_v man_n in_o all_o point_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o also_o very_o holy_a and_o righteous_a according_a to_o the_o law_n yet_o because_o they_o be_v proud_a of_o their_o own_o knowledge_n and_o put_v confidence_n in_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o see_v

we_o read_v in_o the_o 22._o chapter_n of_o st._n matthews_n gospel_n that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o be_v invite_v to_o a_o feast_n which_o the_o king_n make_v at_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o

the_o wedding_n be_v ready_a but_o they_o that_o be_v bid_v be_v not_o worthy_a whereby_o you_o may_v also_o perceive_v that_o this_o unmeet_a and_o unsuitable_a disposition_n in_o not_o see_v a_o

you_o shall_v know_v that_o christ_n accept_v none_o for_o greatness_n of_o part_n that_o you_o may_v not_o continue_v lift_v up_o as_o you_o have_v be_v because_o of_o that_o which_o be_v of_o so_o

be_v not_o to_o look_v for_o any_o good_a in_o themselves_o as_o a_o ground_n or_o cause_n of_o their_o faith_n they_o will_v not_o look_v for_o any_o good_a in_o themselves_o as_o a_o evidence_n of_o

why_o true_o i_o have_v think_v upon_o three_o reason_n of_o it_o as_o first_o because_o that_o they_o have_v either_o by_o mean_n of_o hear_v read_v or_o conference_n be_v instruct_v in_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n only_o without_o instruction_n in_o the_o law_n of_o work_n go_v before_o or_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n follow_v after_o or_o else_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n without_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n my_o meaning_n be_v they_o have_v be_v instruct_v that_o they_o of_o themselves_o be_v altogether_o unable_a either_o to_o do_v or_o suffer_v that_o which_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n require_v and_o that_o they_o be_v therefore_o in_o a_o damnable_a condition_n and_o that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o they_o true_o believe_v and_o so_o apprehend_v the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o shall_v have_v life_n and_o salvation_n but_o they_o have_v not_o be_v instruct_v that_o if_o they_o do_v true_o believe_v than_o they_o do_v hereupon_o become_v subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n they_o have_v be_v instruct_v that_o he_o be_v jesus_n a_o saviour_n but_o they_o have_v not_o be_v instruct_v that_o to_o whosoever_o he_o be_v jesus_n a_o saviour_n he_o be_v also_o to_o they_o christ_n a_o lord_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o take_v faith_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a notion_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n swim_v in_o their_o brain_n or_o at_o the_o best_a but_o a_o mere_a apprehension_n thereof_o in_o their_o mind_n which_o be_v but_o a_o faith_n of_o their_o own_o forge_n &_o so_o they_o think_v they_o have_v a_o strong_a faith_n when_o as_o indeed_o they_o have_v not_o the_o least_o measure_n or_o degree_n of_o a_o true_a weak_a faith_n they_o think_v they_o have_v christ_n in_o their_o heart_n when_o as_o indeed_o he_o be_v but_o in_o their_o head_n they_o think_v they_o have_v he_o in_o their_o will_n and_o affection_n when_o as_o indeed_o they_o have_v he_o but_o only_o in_o their_o understanding_n and_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o mistake_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 1._o 30._o where_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n both_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n for_o whereas_o they_o do_v thence_o conclude_v that_o christ_n inherent_a righteousness_n be_v not_o only_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o a_o believer_n be_v justify_v but_o also_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o he_o be_v sanctify_v and_o that_o in_o a_o believer_n there_o be_v no_o inherent_a righteousness_n nor_o sanctification_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o have_v affirm_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o so_o but_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n have_v not_o only_o ordain_v that_o believer_n shall_v be_v justify_v by_o have_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o christ_n impute_v unto_o they_o but_o that_o christ_n also_o shall_v by_o his_o spirit_n infuse_v righteousness_n into_o they_o and_o so_o sanctify_v they_o he_o have_v not_o only_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n procure_v the_o one_o but_o also_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o death_n procure_v the_o other_o and_o so_o indeed_o be_v make_v unto_o they_o both_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o show_v you_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o those_o professor_n who_o confound_v his_o twofold_a righteousness_n and_o how_o they_o do_v it_o sim._n well_o sir_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_o none_o of_o this_o sort_n and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o show_v i_o also_o who_o be_v the_o second_o sort_n and_o how_o they_o do_v it_o min._n why_o the_o second_o sort_n be_v such_o as_o be_v true_o call_v formal_a or_o legal_a professor_n who_o confound_v the_o righteousness_n of_o justification_n with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o sanctification_n make_v they_o to_o be_v both_o one_o for_o they_o will_v have_v that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o man_n himself_o or_o rather_o those_o righteous_a action_n which_o be_v perform_v and_o do_v by_o himself_o to_o be_v not_o only_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o he_o be_v sanctify_v but_o also_o that_o righteousness_n whereby_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o such_o man_n do_v labour_n and_o endeavour_v to_o reform_v their_o life_n and_o their_o way_n and_o to_o perform_v good_a duty_n both_o towards_o

no_o further_o sim._n and_o i_o pray_v you_o sir_n show_v i_o also_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o this_o their_o mistake_n min._n why_o true_o i_o have_v also_o think_v upon_o three_o reason_n of_o this_o whereof_o the_o first_o be_v because_o they_o either_o by_o mean_n of_o hear_v read_v or_o conference_n have_v be_v instruct_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o

own_o obedience_n to_o they_o and_o they_o have_v not_o be_v condemn_v and_o kill_v by_o the_o law_n in_o have_v it_o make_v know_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o purity_n and_o perfection_n of_o it_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o have_v have_v little_a or_o no_o instruction_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n or_o covenant_n of_o promise_n especial_o betwixt_o that_o
