2 Faith, Repentance, Mortification, were all in Christ originally, primarily, as in their nature, their fountain, their root, or seed, and therefore he is said to give repentance to Israel, and he is the Author and finisher of our faith, and it is called the faith of the son of God, and of his fullness all we have received, and grace for grace, for every grace in him, a grace in us.

A. 1 If Saltmarsh have no other sense, but that our faith, repentance, mortification, are in and from Christ as the meritous cause, because Christ by the merit of his death procured grace to us to believe, repent, mortify sin.
A. 1 If Saltmarsh have no other sense, but that our faith, repentance, mortification, are in and from Christ as the meritous cause, because Christ by the merit of his death procured grace to us to beleeve, repent, mortifie sinne.
2 That these are from Christ efficienter, as the efficient cause or from the spirit of Christ infusing the life of God in us, and actuating the supernatural habit of grace in us and working in us to will and to do, this is that which Protestant Divines say, that Christ is our Saviour merito and efficaciâ, by the merit of his death, against Papists, and the effectual; yea, and the irresistible applying of his death to save us, as we teach against Papists, Pelagians, Socinians, then surely I hope neither that learned man M. Gattaker, nor any of ours censured M. Saltmarsh for Antinomianism or any heresy, in his point we agree, and then we say that M. Saltmarsh in these words, gives us a fair and ingenious Recantation. I am glad of this.
