- 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: They teach as we do , that although Christ as God , be the efficient ; as man , the meritorious cause of our iustice : yet in vs also there is somthing required . And is not the Church of Rome still an adversarie vnto Christs merits , because of her acknowledging that we haue received the power of meriting by the blood of Christ ? St Thomas More , setteth downe the oddes betweene vs and he Church of Rome in the matter of works thus ; Like as wee graunt them that no good worke of man is rewardable in heaven of his owne nature , but through the meere goodnesse of God , that list to set so high a price vpon so poore a thing ; and that this price God setteth through Christs passion , and for that also they bee his owne workes with vs ; for good workes to God-ward worketh no man , without God worke in him ; and as we grant thē also , that no man may be proud of his works , for his imperfect working , and for that in all that man may doe , he can doe God no good , but is a servant improfitable & doth but his bare dutie ; as we , I say , graunt vnto them these things :

- summary: As elsewhere I have often said , we must carefully distinguish between the Primitive or Primary and Natural part of Holiness ; which is GODLINESSE or our LOVE to God as such ; and the mediate remedying , subservient Part , which is Faith in Christ , or Christianity as such . The Wisdome , and Goodness of God are wonderfully glorified , in providing this incomprehensible way of our Redemption , that by it Justice and Holiness may be as fully glorified , the Truth of God vindicated , the Honour and Authority of the Law and Lawgiver preserved , and sin disgraced and confounded , by the Sacrifice , Merit and Intercession of Christ , as if all sinners themselves had been condemned .

- title: A defence of the doctrine of justification, by faith in Jesus Christ: shewing, true Gospel-holiness flows from thence. Or, Mr. Fowler's pretended design of Christianity, proved to be nothing more then to trample under foot the blood of the Son of God and the idolizing of man's own righteousness. As also, how while he pretends to be a minister of the Church of England, he overthroweth the wholesom doctrine contained in the 10th. 11th. and 13th. of the Thirty Nine Articles of the same, and that he falleth in with the Quaker, and Romanist, against them.

That the First Principles of Morrals , those First Written in Mens hearts , are the Essentials , the Indispensible , and Fundamental Points ●r Doctrines of the Gospel , Pag. 8 , 281 , 282. 2.

That Christ's great Errand , in coming into the World , was to put us again in Possession of the Holiness we had lost , P. 12. 7. That John the Baptist , the Angel that was sent to Zecharias , and Mary , Preached this Doctrine ; and so also did Malachy the Prophet , Pag. 13. 8.

- summary: 2. God projecteth the method , means , and carriage of all things requisite for the orderly and regular fecibleness , or producibility of it ; As , That his only begotten Son should take flesh of a Virgin , and become man ; That he should take upon him the form of a Servant ; That he should be delivered up , or left unto the wills of sinfull , wicked , and malicious men , and so be obnoxious to suffer an ignominious and painfull death ; That having suffered death , he should lye three Dayes and three Nights in the Grave , and then rise again ( to omit severall other particulars in this kind ) without which , could , or should it be supposed , that he would , or might have justified a sinner ; it would , or must have been without such a Declaration , or manifestation , at least , of the Glory both of his Justice and Wisdome therein , as with which he hath now contrived it by the method and means specified . For that satisfaction which Christ made for the sins of any person who believes not ( I mean , who dies in unbelief ) was never received , or accepted , by God in the nature of an appropriate , particular , or actuall satisfaction for their sins ; but only as a potentiall satisfaction ; that is , as a thing of compleat worth , and value , enough to have made a particular and actuall satisfaction even for such a mans sins , as ●ell as for the sins of those who believe , and which he as fully intended to accept for such a satisfaction on his behalf , in case he had believed , which he might have done , as he did to accept it upon such terms for them , or for their sins , who do believe .

- summary: Therefore because in Sacrifices and Offerings for Sin God could not take Pleasure , as therein receiving any Satisfaction to Justice : When Jesus Christ came into the World , he faith , A Body hast thou prepared me ; Lo I come to do thy Will , O God ; by the which Will we are sanctisied through the offering of the Body of Jesus Christ once : But this Will of God was not induced by any Temporary Consideration , it was from everlasting , God hath chosen us in Christ before the Foundation of the World. The Scripture speaks expresly , that without shedding of Blood there is no Remission of Sin ; yet the Blood of Bulls and Goats could not avail to make the Worshipper perfect : so that the continual Sacrifice daily offered , and all other extraordinary Burnt-offerings occasionally appointed by the Law , were merciful Surrogations of Typical Propitiations with respect to Christ , whose Blood only could take away the Sins of the World : Whose Blood , being the Blood of the everlasting Covenant , could only make the Comers unto God perfect .

- 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.
