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.

And I now will add (and bid you take your advantage) that should a man with all his might strive to obey all the Moral Laws, either as they are contained in the first Principles of Morals, or in the express Decalogue, or Ten Commandments, without Faith, First, in the Blood, and Death, and Resurrection of Christ, &c. For his Justification with God; his thus doing would be counted Wickedness, and he in the end accounted a Rebel against the Gospel, and shall be Damned for want of Faith in the Blood of the Lord Jesus.
