     summary: Faith , as the instrument whereby we apprehend , and Christ as the subiect in which wee apprehend the blessings of God , and the grace of God , as the only cause moving God , both to giue faith , and Christ by faith , and in Christ al these blessings . First , that Iesus Christ , is not the cause why , but the Meane , whereby God doth ordayne vs to adoption . Which will more clearly appeare , when we speake of the cause , mooving God to predestinate vs. The second thing that we haue to marke , is , that all other secondary Meanes , whereby in the Scriptures we are said to be made sonnes , or iustified , &c. as namely , the Gospell preached , the Sacramentes , & faith : are no wayes to be esteemed Meanes , simply in respect of them selves , but only by relation , and reference to Christ : in and by them revealed , offered , and receyved . Which is most evident , by the description aforesaide of predestination : in the which nothing saving Christ alone , is set downe to be the Meane , whereby God ordayneth vs to be adopted :

     summary: And why then must the Command of Faith in Christ , and Repentance for Remission , be no Law , when God commands them , because the Law of Nature requires us to obey them when God doth command them ? What a Government do these men assign to God , who allow him but one and the same Law to govern the whole Creation by , when their state and circumstances be so different , though all are his Creatures ? 4. As for such as confound the Law of Nature with the Law to Israel , as taken into the Covenant of Grace , I shall not think fit to say more to than this ; Though the carnal Iews did turn it into a Covenant of Works , as if their imperfect Obedience and chargeable Sacrifices were the very Righteousness for which they were justified , and so neglected Repentance and Faith in the Promise of Forgiveness for the sake of Christ , who was typified in their Sacrifices ; nevertheless it was a Law of Faith and Repentance , as Wittichius calls it , p. 106. in cap. He freely , and of meer Grace , bestows Faith and Repentance ; yea , gives his Spirit to create these , and any other good Work in worthless vile Sinners ; and though he will not forgive any that finally refuse to believe and repent , nor save any ungodly apostate man ▪ yet Pardon and Life are his Free Gift , and no Grace nor Duty merits them , they being no more than the required Conditions or Means of our partaking of them , as the Gifts of God through Christ ; and so he hereby honours his own Government , and no way indulgeth the Boastings of Men.

       title: Justification by Christ alone, a fountaine of life and comfort, declaring that the whole worke of mans salvation was accomplished by Jesus Christ upon the crosse, in that he tooke away & healed all his, from all sinnes, and presented them to God holy without fault in his sight. And the objections against this are answered, for the consolation of such as beleive; & that they may not ascribe that which is proper to Christs preistly office, to their beleiving. / By Samuel Richardson.

     summary: 3. and 4. 6. For if yee come once to forsake the words and exp●●ssions of Christ , you will quickly lose the Truth of Christ ; and receive error instead of Truth , I cannot but beleive when the Apostle condemnes preaching Christ in wisdome of words , 1. Cor. For if it be not true , what shall wee doe with it ? If some of it be false , why not the rest also ? And then who can tell what is truth ? And so we● vent●●● our soules upon uncertainties , this is dishonourable to Christ , and uncomfortable : and to be abhorred by all , and is the onely way to bring in and defend all errors , on the other side , if wee affirme that the minde of God is so expressed in the letter , in so many words as he that can reade may see it , is to deny any Interpretation of Scripture , and to deny them to be a Mystery :
