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. By John Bunyan.A defence of the doctrine of justification, by faith in Jesus Christ: shewing, true Gospel-holiness flows from thence.

2. As it respecteth Man, it doth first, and immediately respect our believing on him for Remission of Sins, and Eternal Life. And this is the Will of the Father which sent me, (saith Christ) that every one that seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting ⟨p. 100⟩Life, and I will raise him up at the last day, John 6. 40. This then is the will of God; That Men do believe in Jesus Christ.
