Tully meaneth, when my Rule and Book was written before his, and when to this day I know not what he meaneth? Though he at once chide at my Distinguishing, and tell me that All Protestants agree in the Nature, Causes, and Definition, (and if all agreed, I might know by other Mens words what he meaneth) yet to all before-said, I will add but one contrary Instance of many. Cluto, in his very Methodical but unsound Idea Theol. (signalized in Voetii Biblioth.) defineth Justification so, as I suppose, best pleaseth the Doctor, viz. [Est Actio Dei Judicialis, qua redemptos propter passiones justitiae Divinae satifactorias a Christo sustentatas, redemptisque imputatas, a peccatis puros, & consequenter a poenis liberos, itemque propter Obedientiam a Christo Legi Divinae praestitam redemptisque imputatam, justitia praeditos, & consequenter vita aeterna dignos, ex miserecordia pronunciat]. In the opening of which he telleth us, pag. 243. (against multitudes of the greatest Protestants Definitions.) [Male, alteram Justificationis partem, ipsam Justitiae Imputationem statui, cum Justificatio non sit ipsa Imputatio, sed Pronunciatio quae Imputatione, tanquam fundamento jacto, nititur. ⟨p. 81⟩And he knew no sense of Justification, but [Vel ipsam sententiae Justificatoriae in meant Divina prolationem, sive Constitutionem, vel ejus in Cordibus redemptorum manifestantem Revelationem: And saith, Priori modo factum est autem omnem fidem, cum Deus omnes, quibus passiones & justitiam Christi imputabat, innocentes & justos reputaret, cum ejus inimici, adeoque sine fide essent, (so that here is a Justification of Infidels, as innocent for Christs Righteousness imputed to them): Quare etiam ut jam facta fide apprehendenda est. The second which follows Faith, is Faith, ingenerating a firm persuasion of it. Is not here sad defining, when neither of these are the Scripture- Justification by Christ and Faith? And so §. 32. the time of Justification by Faith he maketh to be the time when we receive the feeling of the former: And the time of the former is presently after the Fall; of all at once:
