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

You here touch (very easily) on two Subjects. I will begin with the later, viz. Your four Arguments against my Doctrine of Justification by the Gospel Grant or New Law. Your first is, that This is per resultantiam; but Justification is an act of Will; but no Act of Will is by necessary Resultancy] Answer.

This is a most obvious Truth.
