This Argument is disclaimed, therefore is it vaine to spend time about it, for if they will not acknowledge and confesse it: I haue no reason to confute it any fur∣ther. Onely I would haue the world beleeue, I doe not faine an enemy, and then flourish against him. For two lear∣ned
and godly Ministers, whose worthy workes are in print, haue vsed the same.
They which bring this proposition, Re∣pentance is the proper effect and fruite of the Gospell beleeued, to prooue that repen∣tance is not begun before iustifying faith, must be vnderstood to meane by a beleefe of the Gospell, either that beleefe which is faith in Christ, or that onely which is an assent vnto the truth of the Gospell. If they meane by a beleefe of the Gospell faith in Christ, then must it be their argu∣ment which I haue propounded, to prooue that repentance goes not before faith in Christ: If they meane but an assent to the truth of the Doctrine of the Gospell, then doe they meane that no other faith goes before repentance but that, and then haue they two Diuines of our owne, lesse on their side, then they thought they had, and I haue two more on mine, for I hold that a beleefe of the Gospell goes before repentance, and repentance before faith in Christ, and let this be enough for that fift Obiection, the sixt followes.
