(389) Mr. Pembleand a very few that with himmake sanctification and Vocation to be all one ? which how far I approve my feif, I have ¡hewed in Treat. of Reft, Part. 1. Chap. $. fete. 2, 3.4. 4. But look into the words, and find out what error you can 1 Which of thofeacts doyou think goes not before.Jufti- fication ? And if they go before,fure you will not deny but they do fome way or other difpofe or fit a mast for, pardon : or elfe God would not have prefcribed them before it. -i. Ca- tholick faith is the Belief ofthe CatholickDo&rine. lam fure you take that togo before Juftification. 2. If Hope ofpar- don go not before, then Affiance (to whichHope is.effential ) goes not before : Yea, then Believers do defpair iu theA& of Believing to Juftification, 3. I never knew the man that doubted whether fearof PunThment went before. 4. The fame I may fay of grief for fin. S. And if all the doubt be of`Purpofe agaainflfin, and for Amendment, I Sure they that fayRtpentance is pre-requifite to juflification, will not exclude aPserpofe ofAmendment. 2. And lure thole that faySancti- fication and Vocation are all one, and go before Juftification will hardly exclude it. 3. They that takea turning from Idols to the true God, as the end, to be inorder before a Turning from Infidelity to theMediator as the way', which is by Faith ; tbefe mutt needs think that fo much of Affrea1 Amendment goes before Jufcifica; ion (ye I,elieve:in God, believe alfo snme.) r.f. They that fay, Faith alone jufl:faeth, but not the faith Which e.alene, will Purely include this Pm-pore as Antecedent. Dave- nants Mr. Ball,&c.iesprefs it,and infift on ir. Dr. Miff cal- leth works c 2/tedia.dscaufadifpofitiva : But it were endlefs to cite Authors in this Point. S. But "tell you my mind. I take this Purpofe of obeying Chiiít de futuro tobe very Faith it felt". For faith is a Covenant - receptionof Chrift, and to take him for Chri{I and King-Redeemer, and toPurpfe,yea Cove- nant to obey him, are but one thing. And therefore a Giving upour felves as Redeemed-fubjects, and fo a purpofe ofbeing actually fobject,are faith it felf. And then they muff needsbe prerequifite to Juftification. So that whether you take theft Acts for common or fpecial, fuely they `go before Juftification Ddd3 as.
