Christ exalted and Dr. Crisp vindicated in several points called antinomian, being cleared from neonomian suggestions alledged, by some remarks on Mr. A-, his rebuke to Mr. Lob shewing from Scripture and most orthodox authors the invalidity of his rebuke in taxing the doctor to be apocryphal, and his doctrine antinomian : with some observations on the Bishop of Worcester's letter concerning the great point of the change of persons between Christ and believers ... : with a table to find the heads insisted on / done by a happy, tho' unworthy branch of the said doctor.

§. XXXII.

But Mr. Pemble goes farther in this Point, and saith,

That Faith doth not precede Participation with Christ, appears: (1) Our San∣ctification wrought by the Spirit, conveys Life and Grace into our Souls when we are void of Faith, and before 'tis ask'd. (2.) Our Justification in God's sight, which was long before we were born, is purchas'd for us by Christ: 'Tis vain to think, with the Arme∣nian, That Christ's Merits only made God PLACABILEM, not Placatum; no, the Ransom is paid and accepted, all the Sins are actually pardoned; this grand Transaction between God, and the Mediator Jesus Christ, was dispatch'd in Heaven, before we had a Being; yet the Benefit of it was ours, and belonged to us at that time, though we never knew so much, till after that by Faith we apprehended it: As Lands may be settled on an Infant, though he knew nothing of it till he come of Age.

O! what clear Testimony is here, to convince the Neonomians, that besides ex∣press Scripture, those that the Rebuker calls Antinomians, have very good Company going with them.
