1. The ordinary Expositions of St. James are these two: 1. That he speaks of Justification before men, and not before God. 2. That he speaks of Works, as justifying our Faith, and not as justifying our persons: or (as Mr. Pembles phrase is) the Apostle when he saith Works justify, must be understood by a Metonymy, that a working Faith justifieth. That the former Exposition is false may appear thus.
