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.

Godly. What, actually & personally justified, & yet actually and personally condemned at one and the same time! this is strange! And now, that Adam, for his first Sin, fell under Wrath and Condemnation, is evident; and he being a public Person, all the Elect were brought under the same Condemnation, & that Sin is charged upon, & imputed to all Persons, as they come into the World, and partake of his corrupt Nature, and are Children of Wrath as well as all others, becoming so by their own actual Transgressions, and abide in that State until they are transplanted out of that dead Root, and are implanted into Jesus Christ, and partake of a virtual Union with him, John 3.18, 36. Can Sin and Righteousness be imputed and charged upon a Person at the same Time? Or are Unbelievers justified Persons? Tho' God justifies the Ungodly, yet do they remain Ungodly when justified before God, who are now sanctified, tho' they may in order of Nature, yet not in order of Time.

Antino. The Words in the old and new Testament, whereby Imputation is signified, do both of them signify an Act of the Mind and Will an immanent Act.
