The travels of true godliness. From the beginning of the world to this present day, in an apt and pleasant allegory: showing, what true godliness is; also the troubles, oppositions, reproaches, and persecutions he hath met with in every age. : Together with the danger and sad declining state he is in at this present time, by errors, heresies, and ungodliness, or open profaneness. / By Benjamin Keach, author of a book called War with the devil, and Zion in distress, and The travels of ungodliness.The travels of true godliness.

Baxt. I approve not of you nor of your travels; does not St. James say, we are justified by Works?1 That Justification that Paul speaks of, and James speaks of, I affirm is one and the same, and to be justified by Faith, according to St. Paul, and by Works, according to St. James, is all one; for Justification by Works, springing from Faith, is Justification by Faith.
- 1See Mr. Clark of Wickham's late Book of Justification, Pag. 71. these are his Words
Godly. Sir, the Popish Doctrine of Justification is as good as yours; Paul speaks of the Justification of a Sinner at God's Bar, through' or by Christ's Righteousness; James speaks of the Declaration and Manifestation of the Justification of a Man to his own Conscience, or Paul speaks of the Justification of the Faith of that Person: and is this all one? I will not, Friend, argue with you any longer, for you are one of the Persons that cause great Sorrow and Lamentation to me; but lo I see another man here, who also Smiles, I perceive while we talk together. Friend, why do you smile? this is no Laughing Matter, I do not like your Countenance.
