Ertl Repentance our firft delire of Chrift as our Saviour, and Love to him as a Saviour , and our firft difc aimin o ali other Saviours,and our fiat accepting him as Lord and Teacher, and as a Saviour from the Power of fin, as well as the guilt; all thefe areworks with you ; and yet all there are not theof fects of our Relative Juftification; nor any of them. 2. As to External as and Confequent internal ass, I deny your Confequence, taking it ofcontinued or final Juftification; though I eafily yield it as to our Juilification at the firft. 1. All the a 'ts of juftifying faith , betides the firft ad, are as truly eífec`ts of our firftJuftification as our other graces orgracious as are. AndBoth it therefore follow that they can be no Conditions of our continued Juftification ? Why not Condi- tions as well as Inftruments or Caufes ? Do you think that on- ly the firft inflantaneous adof faith doth jultifie, and no other after through the courfe of our lives ? 1 prove the contrary from the inftance ofAs rabam It was not the flit} at of his faith that Faulmentioneth when he proveth fromhim Juftifica- tion by faith. As its nogood Confequence [ Faith afterward is the e ffeat of lufijcation before ; therefore it cannot afterward jufiáfie, or he a Condition.] So its no good Confequence as to Repentance, Hope, or Obedience. 2, It only follows that they cannot be the Condition of that Juftification whereof they are the effect, and which went before them (which is grantedyou.) But it follows not that theymay not be the Condition of conti- nued or final Juftification. Sucking the breft, did rot catfe life in thebeginning : therefore it isnot a means to continue it : It followeth no,t. You well teach that the Juftification at the let Judgement is the chief and moat eminent Jollification. This bath more Conditions then your firft pardon of fin had yeaas many as your falvation bath, as bath been formerly proved, and may be proved more at large. Treat. pag. 23o. By this we mayfee that more thing; are re- quired to our Salvation, then to our Iußifcation ; to be pof lie ors of heaven, and (than it fhould be) to entitle MI there- to. S ,1nfiV.
