A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemy to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God. And also, the things that were then laid down, and declared to the world by me, are a second-time born witness to, according to truth: with the answer of Edward Borough to the queries then laid down in my book reproved. And also, a plain answer to his queries, given in simplicity of soul; and is now also presented to the world, or who else may read, or hear them; to the end (if God will) that truth may be discovered thereby. / by John Bunyan ...A vindication of the book called, Some Gospel-truths opened; according to the Scriptures, and the opposition made against it by Edward Borrough, a professed Quaker, (but proved an enemie to the truth) examined and confuted by the word of God.

2. If the Christ of God, God-man be indeed your foundation, then you do believe, that that every man, in that very body, did fulfil all the Law in the point of justification, as it is written, Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one that believeth. So that now, believe aright in what the son of Mary hath done without on the Cross, and be saved.

3. If you have laid Christ that man aright for your foundation, then you do believe, that when he was raised out of the Sepulchre into which Joseph had laid him, then at that time was accomplished your justification, Rom. 4.25. How say you to these things, do you make an open profession of them without dissembling? or do you not (notwithstanding your talk of Christ) in very deed deny the virtue of the death and blood of Christ without, as for Justification and Life; if so, you have not laid him for your foundation.
