The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

1. I believe that salvation is by Faith, not by Works.

WHEN the Talmudick Jews make such a confession as is mentioned instantly be∣fore, wherein they reduce all the tenor and marrow of the Law under this one doctrine of living by Faith, Hab. 2. 4. The just by his Faith shall live: it is no woader if the more ancient and more holy Jews under the Law looked for salvation, not

by their own merits and works, but only by Faith: This fundamental point of Religion they might readily learn by these two things.

• 2. In that they saw the holiest of their men, and the holiest of their services, to re∣ceive sanctitie, not from themselves, but from another. So they saw that the Priest (who was or should be at least the holiest man among them) was sanctified by his gar∣ments, and that the sacrifices were sanctified by the Altar. From these premises they could not but conclude, that no man, nor his best service could be accepted as holy in it self, but must be sanctified by another.
