( s6) lure conditions injsiflificando as well as in juflificato. 2. Your mention of the condition in bomine vidente is befides our bull- nefs, and is only of a natural condition , or qualification in genere nature; Whenwe are fpeaking only of an active con- dition in genere 'writ : The former is improperly, the later properly called a condition. 3. If this be your meaning, I confefs there are many natural or pafiive qualifications ne- ceflary, which are no active or proper moral conditions in a Law-fenfe ; But this is nothing to the matter. 4. The phra- fes of [Conditions injuflificato, & ina5# jc li ificationis] are am- biguous, and in the Moral fenfe improper. Our queflion is whether they are conditions ad juflifacationem recipiendam : Which yet in regard oftime are in aria juflificatioitis,but not"con- ditienes vel qualificationes ipfau: acius. And ifyou did not think that repentance is a condition adjufificationem recipiendam, and fo inaíì{ujuflificationia, how can you fay it is medium ordina- tion .?

And there aremany thoufand honefl Chrittí- ans as dull as band therefore I do not think it canbe any weigh- ty point of faith which muft be fupported by fuch fnbtilties whichare paft our reach,though obvious to yours : Godufeth not to hang mens falvation-on fuch School diftinstions which few men can underftand. 6. And every fuch Tyro in Philofo- phy as I,canrot reach your Phylofophical fubtilty neither ; to un. erftand that the fanningofthe head to the body is not condi- tio in atluvidentir ; (though it be nothing to our purpofe ); Indeedwemay think it of more remote ufe then fome other, and but propter alitsd, &vial; conditio conditionis ; and if you fay fo of Repentance, &c. we fhould not difagree.
