Answ. 1. But whose phrase is Justifying Works?
2. Doth not the Holy Ghost say, That a Man is justified by Works, and not by Faith only? Jam. 2.
3. Doth not Christ say, By thy words thou shalt be justified?
4. Do not I over and over tell the World, That I hold Justification by Works in no sense, but as signifying the same as [According to Works] which you own? And so both Name and Thing are con∣fessed by you to be Scriptural.
5. I have before desired the Reader to turn to the words, [Righteous, Righteousness, Justificati∣on, &c.] in his Concordance. And if there he find Righteousness mentioned as consisting in some Acts of Man, many hundred times, let him next say if he dare, that they are to be had in no price to Righteousness: Or let him read the Texts cited by me in my Confession of Faith.
6. Because, Faith, Repentance, Love, Obedi∣ence, are that whose sincerity is to be judged in or∣der to our Life or Death ere long; I will not say that they are to be vilified as to such a Righteous∣ness or Justification, as consisteth in our vindicati∣on from the charge of Impenitency, Infidelity, Unholiness, Hypocrisie, &c. The reading of Mat. 25. resolved me for this Opinion.
