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

So [9. Faith as designed to this act or operation of Justifying, looks on Christ as a Saviour.] This is Mr. Ws. Assertion. But 1. justifying is not an act or operation of faith; but of God on the Believer. 2. But if you mean but constituting it the condition of Justification, then 1. the wrong end is set first: For it doth not look at Christ, as its made the condition; but its made the condition, because being an Accepting of Christ, its Apt for that Office. So that Materially and Laxly, its thus true; (a Saviour, comprehendeth Christs Kingly and Prophetical Offices, and everlasting Priesthood in Heaven) But this is nothing to the formal Reason of its Interest in Justification.

But lest you think that [qua Justificans] hath no proper place, I further instance [9. Faith as justifying is distinst from faith as entitling to Heaven, or other promised mercies.] This is true (supposing Justification and the said Title to Glory to differ.) But this is but a denomination of the same faith from ⟨p. 312⟩its divers consequents. As my lighting a candle being one action is Actioilluminans (ut causa moralis,) & calefaciens; & quailluminans non est calefaciens. So a woman's marrying a Prince, is an Honouring, enriching act: and qua honouring, it is not enriching. But its the same entire undivided act or Antecedent Means, or Condition, that is thus variously denominated from several Benefits. And thus Relations may give divers denominations to the same person; the same man may, be considered as a Father, as a Physician, as a Subject, &c.
