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.

1. The Wrath of God, and the Curse of the Law, are both taken off, by this Imputation.
2. The Graces, and Comforts of the Holy Ghost, are all Entailed to, and followers of this Imputation. Blessed is he, to whom the Lord will not Impute Sin: It saith not, that he is Blessed that hath not Sin to be imputed; but he to whom God will not Impute them, he faith, Therefore the non Imputation of Sin, doth not argue a non being thereof in the Soul, but a Glorious act of Grace, Imputing the sufficiency of Christ's Righteousness, to Justify him that is yet Ungodly.
