The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

Justification is sometimes applied to God, when a man justifieth, Psal. 51.4. Rom. 3.4. Luke 7.29. Matth. 11.19. Luke 7.35. sometimes to man, between man and man, Deut. 25.1. Isa. 5.23. Prov. 17.15. 2 Sam. 15.4. In which last places, and the like, Pemble (after others) observeth that to justify, is in judicial proceeding to absolve a party from fault, and blame, whether it be rightly, or wrongfully, Ezek. 16.52. Luke 16.15. Sometimes unto man, between God and man, Exod. 23.7. Isa. 50.8. Rom. 8.33, 34. 1 Cor. 4.4. Act. 13.38, 39. which places can intend no other but a judicial or declarative, not a physical, or infused Justification, whereby a person of unjust, is made just.
