This Righteoufness is Needful to Save, Though Infufficient to Juftify, us. 42. To Establish it, is to Depend upon it, for our Juftification in the fight of God. S. James treats not of this Juftification. The Juftification by Works is against the Senfe 44. 45. of all Believers. 48. 'Tis a moft Silly Attempt : Yet this is fill attempted by many. 2. 56. 59. 62. A Diffualive from it. 64. And Wicked: And Dangerous. Pride hinders mens Submiffion to God's Righte 72. 2. Because they have fuch a high Conceit of their Own Righteousness, 77. To think there's no need of Chrift's Satis.:: faction: Tho' God has declar'd the contrary; 79. 81. And all their Self-Righteoufnefs is Infufficient. ୨୦. 84. 3. Because they want the humble Senfe of their own Unrighteousness, and Sinful Wretchedness, Extenuating Man's doleful Apoftacy; 91. And not being convinced by the Spirit of God; to make 'em know Themselves. 95. An Admonition, Not to Admire the Exalters of their Own Righteoufnefs. 100. Such Such produce fo little to Justify their Pretences: FOI. The Genfur'd Righteoufnefs of Faith does great→ er matters. 104. 109. The Neceffity of Inherent, Perfonal Righte another? 115. Anfw. 1. The Defign of our Saviour's Coming, was not only to Juftify, but to Sanctify us. 117. This Sanctification Needful to our Salvation. 120. We shall be Judged by our Works,as the Proofs of our Faith. 123. Antw. 2. The Faith that Saves us, must produce the Fruits of Holiness. The Vanity and Villany of pretending to Faith in Chrift, without Good Works. Faith must be Approved by Purity: By Fertility: By a Heavenly Mind and Life: By the Love of God's Saints. 127. 129. 135. 136. 137. Ibid. We must Give our felves to Good Works; tho' 141. not Depend upon 'em. What Need there is of 'em; Tho' we are not Juftified by 'em. 143.; True Grace will not make us Lefs, but more, Careful to Maintain 'em. 144. An Appeal, for this, to all that have Tafted That the Lord is Gracious. 147. Grace Grace is the only Root to bear thefe Fruits. 153. No Peace with God, without Submitting to 161. No Hope, or Rejoycing but in Christ Jesus. 163. All will be glad to fly to this Refuge, at Laft. Ibid. Here Believers are now to Solace themselves. 164. A Vindication of the Trufting part of Faith, (against fome Calumniators,) from the exprefs Doctrine of our Church. An Encouragement of the Faithful against fuch Contradictions. 166. 172. What God Requires, and will Accept of Be 181. lievers. There must be Well-doing, to Feed the Root of Believing. 182. But when they have done their Beft, They must Trust to nothing done. 186. They that Spur on to Juftification by SelfRighteoufnefs, are miferable Comforters of others: And will once be at a fad Lofs themselves. 189. Maugre all they can fay or do, Whoever would 188. have Peace, and Hope, and Solid Confolation; muft center only in the Saviour; and look to be Juftified by Faith alone; and the Grace of God, Through the Redemption that is in Jefus Chrift. 191. ADIS A DISCOURSE UPON ROM. X. 3. For they being Ignorant of God's Righteoufness, and going about to Eftablish their own Righteousness, have not Submitted themselves to the Righteousness of God. HE grand Enquiry that most of all concerns every Sinful man, is How he shall come off, and obtain Peace and Acceptance, with the Holy Offended God. Though Se cure Sinners trouble not their heads about fuch matters; But feem to be in more care, How they shall keep Confcience Afleep; than what they fhall Anfwer, when brought into Judgment: Or they take up with fome Random Hopes of the Divine Mercy; without confulting the Divine Revelation, to inform themselves upon what Terms that Mercy will be Difpenfed: Yet whoever is not Stupid and Dead in Sin, but Awaken'd, and Confcious of his Guilt; muft needs have a Thoughtful Heart, Wherewithal to appear before the Lord; What to Plead, and how to Bear up, at the Righteous Tribunal of the Judge Eternal. 'Tis not to turn the Head another way; or put the Evil day far from us: "Tis not to Hide in the Thickets of Worldly Concerns and Fruitions: Much lefs, to go and indulge to vain Pleasure, and get into Jolly Company; and there think to Eat and Drink, and Sport and Rant it away. Ah Lord, What Phyfick is this for the Afflicted Confcience of a Sinner? The poor Difquieted Soul is not fo to be ftill'd with Rattles, or any vain Divertions. But when the great Trial is yet to come; The great Care fhould be, What Defence then to make; and How to Escape? That Righteousness is Needful for the purpofe, I take all to be agreed. But what Righteoufnefs will ferve the turn, and which Sort we had beft Truft to; The feveral Pretenders to Righteoufnefs cannot fo easily hit it off.
