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.
