P. This is but singing over the old Song, by one that will not consider what is answered. Have you thought on all the Texts even now cited▪ Hath faith no hand in our Justification? Hath the performance of a Condition, and the Moral Disposition of the Receiver, no hand in the Reception of a Gift? What think you is the meaning of Christs words, Matth. 12. By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned? What meaneth St. James, that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only? Are men justified by that which hath no hand in their Justification?
Lib. Christ meaneth [before men] and so doth James, and not before God.
P. This is notoriously false, as contrary to the plain Text: Christ speaketh of the Account to be given of our words in the day of Judgement, ⟨p. 240⟩vers. 36. And James speaketh of that which men are saved by, vers. 14. and that Justification which Abraham had, and that in an instance where Man did not justify him, and of that which was faiths life and perfection, vers. 17, 22. and of Gods imputing faith for, righteousness, as to a friend of God, vers. 23. And is this nothing but Justification before men?
