2. To prove this doctrine unscriptural, That “Faith alone is the condition of justification,” you alledge, That “Sanctification, according to scripture, must go before it:” To evince which, you quote the following texts, which I leave as I find them: _Go, disciple all nations――teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded them._¹ _He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved._² _Preach repentance and remission of sins._³ _Repent and be baptized every one of you, for the remission of sins._⁴ _Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out._⁵ _By one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified._⁶ You add, “St. _Paul_ taught _Repentance toward God, and faith toward our_ Lord Jesus Christ⁷; and calls _Repentance from dead works, and faith toward God, first principles_.⁸” ¹ _Matthew xxviii. 19, 20._ ² _Mark xvi. 16._ ³ _Luke xxiv. 47._ ⁴ _Acts ii. 38._ ⁵ ♦_Acts iii. 19._ ⁶ _Hebrews x. 14._ ⁷ _Acts xx. 21._ ⁸ _Hebrews vi. 1._ ♦ “C.” replaced with “Acts” You subjoin, “_But ye are washed_, says he, _but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified_. By _washed_ is meant their baptism; and by their baptism is meant, first their sanctification, and then their justification.” This is a flat begging the question; you take for granted, the very point which you ought to prove. “St. _Peter_ also, you say, affirms, That _baptism doth save us_ or justify us.” Again, you beg the question: you take for granted what I utterly deny, viz. That _save_ and _justify_ are here synonymous terms. ’Till this is proved, you can draw no inference at all; for you have no foundation whereon to build. I conceive these and all the scriptures which can be quoted to prove sanctification antecedent to justification, (if they do not relate to our final justification) prove only (what I have never denied) that repentance, or conviction of sin, and fruits meet for repentance, precede that faith, whereby we are justified: but by no means, that the love of God, or any branch of true holiness, must or can precede faith. 3. It is objected, Secondly, That justification by faith alone, is not the doctrine of the church of _England_. “You believe, says the writer above-mentioned, that no good work can be previous to justification, nor consequently a condition of it. But God be praised, our church has no where delivered such _abominable_ doctrine.” _Page 14._ “The clergy contend for inward holiness, as previous to the first justification――this is the doctrine they universally inculcate, and which you cannot oppose without contradicting the doctrine of our church.” _Page 26._ “All your strongest persuasives to the love of God, will not blanch over the deformity of that doctrine, that men may be justified――by faith alone――Unless you publicly recant this _horrid_ doctrine, your faith is vain.” _Page 27._
