Justification is the very Hinge and Pillar of CHRISTIANITY; and an Error about Justification is dangerous, like a Crack in the Foundation, or an Error in the first Concoction. Justification by Christ is a Spring of the Water of Life, and to have the Poison of corrupt Doctrine cast into this Spring, is damnable. It was a Saying of Luther, That after his Death the Doctrine of Justification would be corrupted. As it hath been in these latter Times, the Arminians and Socinians have cast a dead Fly into this Box of precious Ointment.
Iustification is the very Hinge and Pillar of CHRISTIANITY; and an Errour about Iustification is dangerous, like a Crack in the Foundation, or an Errour in the first Concoction. Iustification by Christ is a Spring of the Water of Life, and to have the Poison of corrupt Doctrine cast into this Spring, is damnable. It was a Saying of Luther, That after his Death the Doctrine of Iustification would be corrupted. As it hath been in these latter Times, the Arminians and Socinians have cast a dead Fly into this Box of precious Oyntment.
I shall endeavour to follow the Star of Scripture to light me through this Mysterious Point.
