EXPLICATION.
The contents of these two Positions▪ being of so near nature, I shall explain them here together; though they seem to me, so plain and clear that they need not much explication, and less confirmation: yet because some Antinomians do down-right oppose them, and some that are no Antinomians have startled at the expressions, as if they had contained ⟨p. 71⟩some self-exalting horrid doctrine; I shall say something hereto, Though for my part, I do so much wonder that any able Divines should deny them: that me thinks they should be Articles of our Creed, and a part of Children's Catechisms, and understood and believed by every man that is a Christian: I mean the matter of them, if not the Phrase; though I think it to be agreeable to the matter also.
