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.

Answ. Therefore not in the Enjoyment of the Divine Nature it self; For that which in Substance is but a bare Resemblance, though it be a most perfect one, is not the thing it self, of which it is a Resemblance. But the Blessedness that we shall enjoy in Heaven, in the very Substance of it, Consisteth not wholly, nor Principally, in a Resemblance of, but in the Enjoyment of God himself; Heirs of God.
