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

Those that confess works of Obedience to Christ, to be the Condition of Glorification, yet deny it to be a Condition of Justification in Judgment; when as to Justify us in Judgment, is to Justify our right to Impurity and Glory, and so the Condition must be the same. LXXXIX. Though God oft, and plainly saith, That all men shall be judged according to their works, and according to what they have done in the Body, [good or evil]; and to judge, is either by decisive sentence to Justify, or to Condemn; or executively to Reward and Glorify, on to Punish; yet many that Confess that men shall be so Judged, do deny that they shall be so Justified, though Justifying be Judging. XC. Though the word [According to their works] do plainly signify, The Cause to be then decided, in order to the sentence of Salvation or Damnation; and Christ Mat. 25. and elsewhere, ⟨p. 31⟩hath largely enumerated the parts of the Cause, and call it Righteousness, and that with a Ca• •al particle; and though the Scripture mention our inherent and acted Righteousness, (in terms of the same signification) above Six •undred times; and that as the thing that pleaseth God, and that he loveth, hating the contrary; telling, us that the unrighteous shall not enter into Heaven, &c. Yet do they feign, that all that Godliness which hath the promise of this Life, and That to come, and which God, is said as a Righteous Judge to Reward and Crown, is mentioned only as a sign of the Elect and Righteous, and of Faith, and not as the Cause to be then decided, or as a Rewarded thing. And for whom is this s••n so solemnly produced? God knoweth us without Signs: His Light in our Consciences will make us know our selves, by Internal Perception. And if it be to confute the Devil and his servants that slander us, it is for want of Righteousness, and not only for want of si••s of it, that we are accused; and it is more than sig•s that must confute them for our Justification. And the Judgment is not to be managed as at a human judicature, by talking it out with every Person, but by an universally convincing Light, that at once can show every man in the World his own particular case, as in it self; it is not Sigs, not Rihtousns, that hath the promises of Rwrd: And there is no Righteousness that so far maketh not a man Righteous, and so far Justifiable.
