A12211	A friendly advertisement to the pretended Catholickes of Ireland declaring, for their satisfaction; that both the Kings supremacie, and the faith whereof his Majestie is the defender, are consonant to the doctrine delivered in the holy Scriptures, and writings of the ancient fathers. And consequently, that the lawes and statutes enacted in that behalfe, are dutifully to be observed by all his Majesties subjects within that kingdome. By Christopher Sibthorp, Knight, one of his Maiesties iustices of his court of chiefe place in Ireland. In the end whereof, is added an epistle written to the author, by the Reverend Father in God, Iames Vssher Bishop of Meath: wherein it is further manifested, that the religion anciently professed in Ireland is, for substance, the same with that, which at this day is by publick authoritie established therein.	Sibthorp, Christopher, Sir, d. 1632.; Ussher, James, 1581-1656.	1622 (1622)	STC 22522; ESTC S102408	494,750	610

purpose_n &_o intention_n christ_n die_v not_o for_o the_o redemption_n of_o all_o in_o a_o generality_n but_o of_o the_o elect_a only_o who_o he_o so_o especial_o and_o entire_o love_v in_o like_a

reconciliation_n for_o our_o sin_n here_o you_o likewise_o see_v that_o the_o send_n of_o his_o son_n be_v a_o effect_n and_o argument_n of_o his_o most_o dear_a and_o special_a love_n towards_o his_o church_n and_o people_n if_o then_o this_o be_v as_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o such_o high_a special_a and_o incomparable_a love_n in_o christ_n to_o give_v himself_o to_o death_n and_o likewise_o in_o god_n his_o father_n to_o send_v he_o into_o the_o world_n to_o that_o end_n and_o that_o this_o special_a and_o incomparable_a love_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o elect_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o christ_n his_o death_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o such_o unspeakable_a and_o especial_a love_n be_v only_o for_o the_o elect_n in_o god_n intention_n and_o purpose_n for_o those_o only_o be_v the_o man_n who_o he_o so_o entire_o and_o unspeakeable_o love_v and_o not_o the_o other_o but_o consider_v what_o saint_n paul_n yet_o further_o write_v say_v thus_o bless_a be_v

in_o he_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n before_o he_o in_o love_n who_o have_v predestinate_v we_o to_o be_v adopt_v through_o

in_o his_o blood_n by_o who_o we_o have_v redemption_n through_o his_o blood_n even_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n according_a to_o his_o rich_a grace_n whereby_o he_o have_v be_v abound_v towards_o we_o in_o which_o word_n you_o may_v again_o perceive_v that_o those_o only_a that_o be_v elect_a before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v there_o say_v to_o have_v redemption_n through_o christ_n blood_n even_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o incomparable_a benefit_n namely_o of_o their_o election_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o their_o redemption_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o can_v never_o bless_v god_n sufficient_o nor_o yield_v he_o sufficient_a thanks_n yea_o the_o redemption_n which_o christ_n by_o his_o blood_n have_v purchase_v for_o any_o be_v a_o eternal_a redemption_n as_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n express_o affirm_v it_o 1●_n and_o therefore_o if_o all_o in_o a_o generality_n aswell_o bad_a as_o good_a and_o reproprobate_a aswell_o as_o elect_a shall_v have_v redemption_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o eternal_a

follow_v but_o consider_v yet_o further_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v not_o dumb_a dead_a vain_a idle_a or_o ineffectual_a blood_n but_o it_o be_v ever_o

the_o blood_n of_o price_n and_o value_n 19_o whereby_o god_n church_n and_o people_n be_v buy_v and_o purchase_v it_o be_v further_o say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n to_o be_v speak_v blood_n 2.24_o and_o that_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n then_o that_o of_o abel_n for_o indeed_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n speak_v and_o cry_v for_o revenge_n against_o a_o malefactor_n but_o contrariwise_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n speak_v for_o mercy_n peace_n love_n reconciliation_n and_o atonement_n towards_o sinner_n and_o malefactor_n 15._o yea_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v these_o virtue_n attribute_v unto_o it_o namely_o to_o cleanse_v from_o all_o sin_n to_o reconcile_v to_o justify_v to_o sanctify_v and_o to_o save_v sinner_n see_v then_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o that_o great_a force_n virtue_n and_o efficacy_n and_o that_o none_o be_v cleanse_v from_o their_o sin_n reconcile_v justify_v sanctify_a and_o save_v but_o the_o elect_n only_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o that_o so_o precious_a prevalent_a powerful_a and_o save_a blood_n of_o he_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o elect_a only_o and_o not_o of_o the_o reprobate_n and_o therefore_o do_v the_o saint_n and_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o revelation_n sing_v this_o song_n unto_o that_o immaculate_a lamb_n christ_n jesus_n say_v thus_o thou_o be_v worthy_a to_o take_v the_o book_n and_o to_o open_v the_o seal_v thereof_o ●_o because_o thou_o be_v kill_v and_o have_v redeem_v we_o to_o god_n by_o thy_o blood_n out_o of_o every_o kindred_n and_o tongue_n and_o people_n and_o nation_n yea_o by_o the_o efficacy_n and_o virtue_n of_o christ_n his_o death_n his_o burial_n and_o his_o resurrection_n it_o be_v 10._o that_o god_n elect_v die_v to_o sin_n and_o bury_v sin_n and_o be_v quicken_v and_o rise_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n which_o thing_n reprobate_n can_v do_v again_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o death_n suffer_v and_o satisfaction_n which_o he_o make_v to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o god_n wrath_n and_o justice_n bear_v the_o person_n only_o of_o the_o elect_n to_o clear_v and_o set_v they_o free_a insomuch_o that_o of_o they_o only_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n 6._o and_o that_o they_o be_v circumcise_v ●n_v he_o or_o in_o his_o circumcision_n that_o they_o die_v together_o with_o he_o in_o his_o death_n that_o they_o rise_v together_o with_o he_o in_o his_o resurrection_n that_o they_o ascend_v with_o he_o into_o heaven_n and_o there_o sit_v with_o he_o in_o heavenly_a place_n by_o all_o which_o manner_n of_o speech_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o elect_n and_o elect_v only_o be_v account_v his_o member_n and_o knit_v and_o conjoin_v unto_o he_o yea_o such_o be_v this_o near_a conjunction_n and_o union_n between_o christ_n the_o head_n and_o the_o elect_a his_o member_n that_o consider_v together_o they_o be_v call_v 12.12_o very_a christ_n by_o s._n paul_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o reprobate_n which_o be_v to_o be_v damn_v be_v never_o in_o christ_n jesus_n nor_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n in_o he_o for_o their_o

more_o evident_a by_o this_o that_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o do_v direct_o disclaim_v all_o reprobate_n in_o the_o prayer_n which_o he_o make_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o the_o elect_n 17.9_o which_o his_o father_n give_v he_o say_v thus_o i_o pray_v for_o they_o i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n but_o for_o they_o which_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o for_o they_o be_v thou_o observe_v this_o well_o for_o here_o you_o see_v that_o christ_n pray_v and_o make_v intercession_n only_o for_o the_o elect_a and_o utter_o disclaim_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o world_n that_o be_v for_o the_o reprobate_n of_o the_o world_n sith_o then_o the_o reprobate_n have_v no_o part_n nor_o portion_n in_o the_o prayer_n and_o intercession_n of_o christ_n by_o what_o right_a shall_v they_o have_v any_o part_n or_o portion_n in_o his_o death_n or_o sacrifice_v himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n consist_v chief_o in_o these_o two_o point_n namely_o in_o his_o oblation_n or_o sacrifice_v of_o himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n &_o in_o his_o prayer_n or_o intercession_n and_o see_v the_o reprobate_n never_o have_v nor_o have_v any_o interest_n in_o the_o one_o neither_o can_v they_o have_v in_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o also_o be_v christ_n record_v

will_n and_o affection_n good_a before_o they_o have_v any_o goodness_n in_o they_o or_o readiness_n to_o obey_v he_o and_o before_o that_o they_o can_v give_v consent_n to_o his_o motion_n or_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n and_o thus_o be_v it_o a_o thing_n evident_a that_o god_n love_n and_o good_a will_n towards_o we_o be_v antecedent_n and_o go_v before_o our_o love_n and_o good_a affection_n towards_o he_o for_o so_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o also_o witness_v say_v 15.16_o you_o have_v not_o choose_v i_o but_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o and_o so_o also_o witness_v s._n john_n say_v express_o herein_o be_v love_n not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n 4.10_o but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o reconciliation_n for_o our_o sin_n 4.19_o and_o again_o he_o say_v express_o we_o love_v he_o because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o now_o then_o see_v it_o be_v manifest_a throughout_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o man_n salvation_n that_o god_n love_n and_o his_o good_a will_n and_o work_v be_v first_o precedent_n and_o go_v before_o all_o good_a will_n and_o love_v of_o man_n towards_o he_o again_o and_o that_o man_n good_a will_n consent_n love_n and_o affection_n towards_o he_o be_v cause_v wrought_v and_o procure_v by_o himself_o and_o come_v in_o the_o second_o place_n as_o a_o thing_n follow_v after_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o god_n will_v do_v not_o depend_v upon_o man_n will_n as_o a_o attendant_n thereupon_o to_o follow_v it_o but_o contrariwise_o that_o man_n will_n do_v depend_v upon_o god_n will_n for_o he_o to_o order_n frame_n and_o dispose_v it_o as_o please_v he_o and_o therefore_o you_o now_o perceive_v 10.23_o i_o trust_v that_o this_o great_a matter_n of_o salvation_n depend_v not_o upon_o the_o will_n of_o man_n for_o if_o it_o do_v who_o will_v be_v damn_v but_o upon_o the_o will_n of_o god_n who_o give_v those_o his_o save_a grace_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n and_o of_o a_o true_a christian_a repentance_n and_o conversion_n to_o who_o he_o please_v for_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v again_o express_o 1.11_o he_o do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n howsoever_o than_o man_n be_v bid_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o repent_v convert_v return_n to_o walk_v in_o god_n way_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o such_o like_a yet_o thereupon_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o man_n have_v free_a will_n and_o power_n of_o themselves_o to_o do_v these_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v before_o prove_v unto_o you_o that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n work_v in_o man_n make_v they_o both_o willing_a and_o able_a to_o do_v these_o thing_n and_o to_o consent_v to_o his_o divine_a motion_n 5._o before_o they_o can_v do_v it_o yea_o albeit_o they_o be_v bid_v to_o choose_v life_n yet_o it_o be_v god_n that_o must_v teach_v and_o direct_v they_o before_o they_o can_v make_v a_o right_a choice_n in_o that_o case_n and_o therefore_o do_v the_o psalmist_n say_v show_v i_o thy_o way_n o_o lord_n and_o teach_v i_o thy_o path_n lead_v i_o forth_o in_o thy_o truth_n and_o teach_v i_o for_o thou_o be_v the_o god_n of_o my_o

salvation_n depend_v upon_o their_o own_o will_n when_o as_o long_o before_o they_o be_v bear_v or_o have_v any_o be_v in_o the_o world_n or_o any_o will_n at_o all_o 25.34_o they_o be_v with_o god_n and_o in_o his_o counsel_n determination_n and_o purpose_n elect_v thereunto_o namely_o even_o before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n as_o the_o scripture_n do_v clear_o and_o direct_o testify_v 5_o but_o then_o they_o further_o object_v that_o s._n paul_n say_v thus_o who_o god_n foreknow_v they_o he_o do_v predestinate_a etc._n etc._n moreover_o who_o he_o predestinate_v they_o

they_o will_v do_v when_o they_o shall_v be_v live_v in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o according_a thereunto_o he_o make_v his_o predestination_n and_o so_o they_o make_v not_o god_n will_v and_o

make_v any_o careless_a of_o do_v good_a work_n that_o contrariwise_o it_o urge_v abet_v persuade_v and_o provoke_v man_n unto_o they_o if_o they_o mean_v or_o desire_v to_o have_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o whereby_o they_o may_v be_v save_v but_o now_o although_o the_o protestant_n do_v thus_o right_o teach_v that_o this_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n go_v together_o and_o be_v inseparable_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n so_o that_o he_o that_o have_v this_o faith_n have_v also_o good_a work_n yet_o in_o the_o point_n of_o our_o justification_n in_o god_n sight_n and_o before_o his_o tribunal_n 3.20.28_o they_o be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v and_o to_o be_v consider_v apart_o and_o not_o confusedlie_o because_o it_o be_v faith_n only_o and_o not_o work_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v and_o apply_v christ_n jesus_n unto_o we_o as_o our_o righteousness_n to_o understand_v this_o the_o better_a you_o must_v ever_o remember_v that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v in_o very_a deed_n our_o righteousness_n for_o so_o the_o scripture_n do_v plentifullie_o teach_v and_o proclaim_v our_o faith_n be_v but_o the_o hand_n or_o instrument_n whereby_o we_o apprehend_v and_o apply_v that_o righteousness_n unto_o we_o and_o our_o good_a work_n be_v the_o fruit_n testimony_n and_o declaration_n both_o to_o ourselves_o and_o other_o man_n of_o that_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v he_o have_v faith_n but_o if_o he_o have_v that_o true_a livelie_o and_o justify_v faith_n etc._n which_o he_o pretend_v he_o must_v declare_v &_o show_v it_o by_o his_o work_n for_o so_o s._n james_n say_v ostende_v mihi_fw-la fidem_fw-la tuam_fw-la ex_fw-la operibus_fw-la tuis_fw-la show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n and_o agreeable_o hereunto_o 2.18_o saint_n paul_n call_v good_a work_n and_o a_o sanctify_a course_n of_o life_n fructus_fw-la justitiae_fw-la the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n so_o that_o we_o be_v first_o righteous_a by_o faith_n in_o christ_n 1.11_o before_o we_o do_v or_o can_v bring_v forth_o these_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n and_o so_o s._n august_n likewise_o teach_v 14._o affirm_v direct_o that_o opera_fw-la sequuntur_fw-la justificatum_fw-la non_fw-la praecedunt_fw-la justificandum_fw-la good_a work_n do_v follow_v he_o that_o be_v former_o justify_v and_o do_v not_o go_v before_o he_o that_o be_v afterward_o to_o be_v justify_v 33._o and_o this_o even_o christ_n jesus_n also_o himself_o declare_v namely_o that_o the_o tree_n must_v first_o be_v good_a before_o it_o can_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n 44._o by_o all_o which_o it_o be_v very_o manifest_a that_o good_a work_n be_v not_o cause_n but_o fruit_n effect_n and_o consequent_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o justify_v we_o before_o god_n but_o this_o be_v yet_o further_o evident_a because_o s._n paul_n say_v expresselie_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n 5.1_o and_o so_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n he_o further_o exclude_v work_n very_o direct_o and_o by_o name_n from_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o that_o act_n of_o our_o justification_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v say_v he_o that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n 3.28_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 4.6_o and_o again_o he_o say_v that_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n again_o he_o say_v it_o be_v by_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o work_n rom._n 11.6_o 11.6_o and_o again_o he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o of_o work_n rom._n 9.11_o and_o again_o he_o say_v 11._o by_o grace_n be_v you_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o for_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v himself_o 10._o in_o all_o which_o place_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o how_o requisite_a or_o commendable_a soever_o good_a work_n be_v and_o what_o good_a use_n soever_o they_o have_v yet_o they_o be_v direct_o exclude_v from_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n in_o god_n sight_n and_o censure_n and_o with_o this_o also_o agree_v that_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n where_o he_o give_v this_o conclusion_n 3.26_o say_v you_o be_v all_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o also_o testify_v s._n john_n say_v 1.12_o that_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v christ_n to_o they_o he_o give_v this_o prerogative_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n where_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o belief_n or_o faith_n be_v reckon_v as_o the_o hand_n or_o instrument_n whereby_o christ_n be_v apprehend_v or_o receive_v again_o he_o say_v that_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o 3.16_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n in_o which_o word_n you_o may_v observe_v again_o the_o first_o and_o original_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o be_v the_o mere_a grace_n and_o love_n of_o god_n second_o the_o material_a cause_n to_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n with_o his_o obedience_n and_o righteousness_n and_o thirdlie_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n to_o be_v faith_n or_o belief_n in_o that_o his_o son_n and_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n for_o he_o say_v the_o text_n be_v send_v into_o the_o world_n to_o this_o end_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o consider_v that_o he_o say_v yet_o further_o 15._o that_o as_o moses_n lift_v up_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n so_o must_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lift_v up_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v eternal_a life_n some_o of_o you_o no_o doubt_n remember_v the_o story_n of_o the_o serpent_n there_o mention_v which_o be_v in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n for_o after_o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n have_v wicked_o speak_v and_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o against_o moses_n 9_o the_o lord_n send_v fiery_a serpent_n among_o the_o people_n which_o sting_v the_o people_n so_o that_o many_o of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n die_v therefore_o the_o people_n come_v to_o moses_n and_o say_v we_o have_v sin_v for_o we_o have_v speak_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o thou_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o take_v away_o the_o serpent_n from_o we_o and_o moses_n pray_v for_o the_o people_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n make_v thou_o a_o fiery_a serpent_n and_o set_v it_o up_o for_o a_o sign_n that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v bite_v may_v look_v upon_o it_o and_o live_v so_o moses_n make_v a_o serpent_n of_o brass_n and_o set_v it_o up_o for_o a_o sign_n and_o when_o a_o serpent_n have_v bite_v a_o man_n than_o he_o look_v to_o the_o serpent_n of_o brass_n and_o live_v as_o therefore_o moses_n lift_v up_o this_o brazen_a serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n to_o the_o end_n that_o whosoever_o be_v sting_v by_o those_o fiery_a serpent_n and_o do_v look_v upon_o that_o brazen_a serpent_n may_v be_v cure_v &_o live_v and_o be_v cure_v and_o do_v live_v according_o so_o be_v also_o the_o son_n of_o man_n christ_n jesus_n lift_v up_o upon_o the_o cross_n where_o he_o be_v crucify_v to_o the_o end_n that_o whosoever_o be_v sting_v with_o the_o deadly_a sting_n of_o sin_n or_o of_o that_o old_a serpent_n the_o devil_n and_o do_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o faith_n apply_v he_o look_v upon_o christ_n jesus_n so_o lift_v up_o and_o crucify_v for_o he_o shall_v be_v heal_v and_o have_v eternal_a life_n where_o you_o may_v again_o perceive_v that_o as_o christ_n be_v compare_v to_o that_o brazen_a serpent_n so_o be_v our_o belief_n or_o faith_n in_o he_o compare_v to_o their_o look_v upon_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n so_o that_o still_o it_o appear_v that_o faith_n be_v as_o the_o eye_n or_o instrument_n whereby_o we_o behold_v apprehend_v and_o apply_v christ_n crucify_v as_o a_o salve_n unto_o we_o for_o all_o our_o sore_n for_o in_o he_o be_v comprehend_v whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a or_o fit_a to_o cure_v we_o when_o therefore_o we_o say_v and_o speak_v in_o this_o sort_n that_o sola_fw-la fides_fw-la iustificat_fw-la faith_n only_o justify_v we_o mean_v not_o that_o this_o faith_n be_v so_o sole_a
