A defence of the doctrine of justification, by faith in Jesus Christ
A defence of the doctrine of justification, by faith in Jesus Christ: showing, true Gospel-holiness flows from thence. Or, Mr. Fowler's pretended design of Christianity, proved to be nothing more then to trample under foot the blood of the Son of God and the idolizing of man's own righteousness. As also, how while he pretends to be a minister of the Church of England, he overthroweth the wholesome doctrine contained in the 10th. 11th. and 13th. of the Thirty Nine Articles of the same, and that he falleth in with the Quaker, and Romanist, against them.

Thus we see, that to establish a Holiness that came from the First Principles of Morals in us, or that ariseth from the Dictates of our Humane Nature, or to drive us back to that Figurative Holiness that we had once, but lost in Adam, is little thought on by Jesus Christ, and as little intended by any of the Gospel Miracles.
