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.

Arg. 8. That Proposition that affirmeth salvation to be personally ascertained, unto them who are in such a condition, wherein the Scripture pronounceth them to be under the Law, Rom. 7.6. under the Curse, Gal. 3.13. under sin, Rom. 11.32. is not sound: Otherwise the Scripture should curse and bless: speak life and death to the same person in the same condition, and consequently contradict it self.
But this Proposition ascertaining salvation to some qualification before faith, affirmeth the Scripture to ascertain salvation unto them, who are in such a condition, wherein the Scripture pronounceth them to be under the Law, the curse, and sin: for such is the condition of every one before faith under the Law, Rom. 7.6. Under the curse, Gal. 3.13. Under sin, Rom. 11.32. Therefore.
