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.

Pen, Pag. 24, 25. Since God hath prescribed an inoffensive life, as that which only can give acceptance with him; and on the contrary hath determined not to justify the Wicked, &c. Will not the abomination appear greatest of all, when God shall be found Condemning the just, on purpose to justify the wicked; and that he is thereto compelled, or else no Salvation? which is the tendency of their Doctrine, who imagine the Righteous, and merciful God, to condemn and punish his righteous Son, that he being sanctified for our Sins, we might be justified (while unsatisfied) by the imputation of his perfect Righteousness. O why should this horrible thing be contended for by Christians!

Fowler, Pag. 119. If it were possible (as it hath been proved it is not) that a Wicked Man should have God's pardon, it would not make him cease to be miserable.
