Of justification four disputations clearing and amicably defending the truth against the unnecessary oppositions…

6. But lastly, I take what you grant me in this Section, and profess that I think in effect you grant me the main of the cause that I stand upon. For, as you grant, 1. That faith is not the whole condition of the Covenant. 2. That Repentance also is the condition of Remission (which is near the same with Justification.) 3. That obedience is the condition of Glorification (which hath the same conditions with final and continued Justification.) 4. So you seem to yield all this, as to our full justification at Judgement. For you purposely limit the conditionality of mere faith to our Justification in this Life. But if you yield all that I desire (as you do, if I understand you) as to the last justification at Judgement, then we are not much differing in this business. For I take (as Mr. Burges doth, Lect. of Justification 29▪) our completest and most perfect Justification to be that at Judgement. Yea, and that it is so eminent and considerable here, that I think all other Justification is so called chiefly as referring to that. And me thinks above all men, you should say so too, who make Justification to lie only in sententi• judicis, and not in sententia Legis: And so all that go your way (as many that I meet with do.) If then we are justified at Gods great Tribunal at Judgement, by obedience as ⟨p. 375⟩the secondary part of the condition of the Covenant (which you seem to yield.) 1. We are agreed in the main. 2. I cannot yet believe that our Justification at that Bar hath one condition, and our Justification in Law (or in this Life, as continued) another. He that dyeth justified, was so justified in the hour of dying, on the same conditions as he must be at Judgement. For 1. There are no conditions to be performed after death. 2. Sententia Legis & sententia judicis do justify on the same terms. Add to all this what I grant to you, [that our Justification when first begun here, is by faith (supposing Repentance) before and without the practice of obedience,] and then see how near we are.
