Aphorism.
IF Faith justifie, as it is the fulfilling of the * 1.1 Condition of the New-Covenant, and Obedi∣ence be also part of that Condition; then Obedience must justifie in the same way as Faith.
Animadvers.
But I think it neither hath been, no•• can be proved, that ei∣ther Faith doth justifie, as it is the fulfilling of the Condition of the whole New-Covenant, which doth comprehend more in it than Justification; or that Obedience is part of the Con∣dition of the New-Covenant, so far as it concerns Justifica∣tion, I mean for the obtaining of it. Obedience is required indeed in the New-Covenant; but not that thereby we may be justified, but as a fruit of that Faith whereby we are justified.
Reply.
The first is yielded. You might easily know, that I spoke of the Condition of Justification: For the second, it is also granted of Justification be∣gun: But as for Justification continued, and con∣summate by Sentence at Judgment, let it rest on the proofs themselves.
