Fletcher’s “Answer” to Richard Hill’s “Finishing Stroke,” and his “Remarks upon _Mr. Fulsome’s_ Antinomian Creed,” are able, and characteristic of the writer; but contain no biographical facts worth mentioning. Two extracts, however, from the “Appendix,” upon the remaining differences between the Calvinists and the anti-Calvinists, may be useful; inasmuch as, in a condensed form, they exhibit the point to which, in Fletcher’s opinion, the controversy had brought both parties with respect to the principal of Wesley’s “Minutes” of 1770. Fletcher writes:— “On both sides, we agree to maintain, in opposition to Socinians and Deists, that the grand, the primary, and properly meritorious cause of our justification, from first to last, both in the day of conversion and in the day of judgment, is only the precious atonement and the infinite merits of our Lord Jesus Christ. We all agree likewise that in the day of conversion faith is the _instrumental cause_ of our justification before God. Nay, if I mistake not, we come one step nearer each other, for we equally hold that, after conversion, the works of faith are in this world, and will be in the day of judgment, the _evidencing cause_ of our justification; that is, the works of faith (under the above-mentioned primary cause of our salvation, and in subordination to the faith that gives them birth), are now, and will be in the great day, the _evidence_ that shall instrumentally _cause_ our justification as believers. Thus Mr. Hill says [_Review_, p. 149], ‘Neither Mr. Shirley, nor I, nor any Calvinist that I ever heard of, denies that, though a sinner be _justified in the sight of God by Christ alone_, he is _declaratively justified by works, both here and at the day of judgment_.’ And the Rev. Mr. Madan, in his sermon on ‘_justification by works stated, explained, and reconciled with justification by faith_,’ says [p. 29], ‘By Christ only are we _meritoriously_ justified, and by faith only are we _instrumentally_ justified _in the sight of God_; but by works, and not by faith only, are we _declaratively justified before men and angels_.’ From these two quotations, which could easily be multiplied to twenty, it is evident that pious Calvinists hold the doctrine of a _justification_ by the works of faith; or, as Mr. Madan expresses it, after St. James, _by works, and not by faith only_.
