The Life ofFaith. 35 ;._ James plainly fpeakethof Gods impujing Righteoujnefs to Abres- bam,James a. t,_ 23. And how (Mould men jJlifie Abraham for kiting be only Son ? And how(Cmall a matter is Juflifica- Lion by men, when we may be favcd without it ? 2. Sincere Obedience to God in Chri¡t, is the condition of the continuance, or not lofing our jullification here, and the f con- dary part of the condition of our finalfentential and executive Jollification. Errour 38. That our inherent Rigbteorrfnefs before di fcribed, bath no place of a condition in our 3uffification in the day of Judgement. Contr.
