Sect. 8. 7. Should I prove that by Imputing, Paul meaneth truly accounting a man Just that is so; reckoning that to him which he hath, and not feigning him to have what he hath not; even Dr. Crispe hath spared me that labour, venturing to say, that the contrary sense of Imputing, maketh God a Liar, or deceived. God never judged a man Righteous, that was not first made so.

Sect. 9. 8. Should I prove, that by Works, Paul meaneth those that make not the Reward of Grace, but of Debt; and James meaneth those that are •he effects of Free Grace, and purely subordinate ⟨p. 61⟩to Christ, as commanded by him; the express Texts do make it needless.
Sect. 10. 9. Should I prove, that Christ is our King, and Ruleth and Judgeth by his own Law, and hath not made us Lawless, and all Judgment on Rule is now committed to him, and that the very Law of Nature, is now his Law; and also the Law of Supernatural Revelation, called by Paul, the Law o• Christ, the Law of Faith and of Gr••• ; and by James, the Law of Liberty; the whole scope of the Gospel, s•veth me that labour.
