The Scripture Gospel defended, and Christ, grace, and free justification vindicated against the libertines…

That to Believe, that we are Elect and Justified, is fides Divina, a Believing the word of God, because his Spirit's witness of it, by inspiration is his word. LXXX. That nothing done by an unregenerate man, by common Grace, maketh him any fitter to Believe and be Converted, that if he were without it, because it is sin. LXXXI. That it is no Grace, which is not unresistible; and because we cannot Merit it, we cannot resist, and forfeit it. LXXXII. That Pardon and Justification, being perfect, the first Moment of our Faith, therefore it is only one momentous Act of Faith only that Justifieth us; and no Act of Faith it self Justifieth us after that hour. This is held by the more moderate sort, who say not, that we are Justified before Faith. LXXXIII. That we must act from L•••, but not •or Life; as if Natural Life were not to be used for Spiritual Life. LXXXIV. They hold, That Sin being all (past, present, and future) Pardoned at first, we must not ask Pardon any more, but only the fuller Belief and Sense of Pardon. LXXXV. They hold, that no Sin, or declining of a Justified Person, should ever make him doubt of his Justification. LXXXVI. They hold, that the meaning of Rom. 8.28. is, That all the sin that an Elect, or Justified man committeth, shall certainly work for his greater good, when the Text speaketh but of Enemies and Sufferings, and all the Providences of God; As if it were the way of God's Wise and Holy Government, so far to encourage men to sin, as to assure all that love God beforehand, ⟨p. 30⟩that the more they sin, the better it shall be for them, whereas he hath filled the Scripture with so many terrible threatenings against Sin and Backsliding. And, as if •o justified person, by sin, did ever grow wor•e than before, or love God l•••, or at all displease him. Or it were for our good to be worse, and love God less, or displease him, or lose a•y measures of Grace and Glory […] Title▪ LXXXVII. They take Justification in the Great day of Jud•m••t, to be none of our proper Justification by Faith, because that was done before but a Decla of : As if Justification had but one degree, and the word but one sense; or any were persectr Justification than that, and a Deisive Sentential Declaration, were not the most eminent.
