Christ preached to them, shall fare better

JUSTIFICATION.

I. Doctrine of justification generally. Justifi-
cation briefly defined, vi. 251-the doctrine
of justification by faith briefly proved by
scripture, 63, 64-is not to be confounded
with sanctification. v. 304-is one of the
privileges of the gospel-covenant, 186-
and an effect of saving faith, 356-to be
justified implies that the person is charged
with guilt, and pleads for himself, 304-
we can never be justified at the bar of
God by pleading "Not guilty," 305, 306
-the only plea upon which a guilty person
may be justified, is, to plead mercy for
the sake of some satisfaction made to the
honour of the law, 307-which no man
could ever make, nor any creature for him,
307-Christ has made such full satisfac-
tion, that it stands now with the honour of
God to justify sinners upon the terms of
the gospel, 308-316-how upon this plea
the sinner is discharged or justified, 316,
317-weighty inducements moving God
hereunto, 314, 315-the death of Christ |
the primary cause of it, 262-267-upon
what terms both God and Christ have
agreed to justify sinners, 315, 316-how |
upon his plea the person justified is dis-
charged, 316, 317-how free grace justi-
fieth, 317-how Christ's satisfaction, 318
-how the gospel, 318-how faith, 318-
how God, 318, 319-how works, 319-
how the Spirit, 319, 320 justification

mians, v. 320-323-manifests the holi-

cation, 324, 325-exhortations founded on
it, 325-327-testimonies of the fathers
to the doctrine of justification by faith, vi.
64-67

II. The doctrine of justification by faith
dangerously corrupted in the Roman
church, vi. 251-the Romanists call that

justification," which, in scripture, is
"sanctification;" and what, in scripture,
is "justification," they admit not, as dis-
tinct from inherent righteousness, 252-
this position examined and refuted, 252-
257-the scripture doctrine of justifica-
tion set aside by the Romish doctrine of
inherent grace and merit of congruity,
258, 259-the doctrine of the council of
Trent on this subject, 67-refutation of
it, 259-the Romish doctrine of justifica-
tion sets aside the satisfaction of Christ as
unnecessary, 259-261-renders the merit
of this redemption unnecessary for the
purchasing of eternal life, to which we are
accepted in justification, 261-263-and
sets aside the application of this redemp-
tion, 263-265-application of the subject,
265-267-parallel of the doctrines of the
prophets, of Jesus Christ and his apostles,
of the Protestants, and of Papists, 558
III. Justification by works, the Popish doc-
tine of, refuted, ii. 379

I. Knowledge, generally: knowledge a
means of attaining love to God, i. 589-
what is that spiritual knowledge which
they ought to seek for, who desire to be
saved, ii. 2, 3-no man who is in a capa-
city of getting more knowledge ought to
acquiesce in just so much, 4--they ought
to know more in proportion to their better
means for getting knowledge, 4—those
who live under the gospel ought to abound
more in spiritual knowledge than those
who lived before the coming of Christ, 4
-and those who live in the reformed
world in this age of light should abound
more in knowledge than those who lived
before the Reformation, 4-they who live
under better means of instruction now,
should know more than such as have not
the like means, 5-they who have more
time for gaining knowledge are concerned
to know more than those who have less
time, 5-they ought to know more in pro-
portion to their better capacities for receiv-
ing knowledge, 5-in proportion to the
use which men have for their knowledge,
and the more good they may do with it, so
much the more knowledge will be expected
of them, 5-in seeking knowledge men
should first study those truths which are
most confessedly necessary to salvation,
6-8 Imen should labour after such a
knowledge of the truth, as shall enable
them to "give a reason of the hope that
is in them," 8-especially they should
give themselves to the study, and labour
after the knowledge, of present truths, 9
-labour for such knowledge as may defend
them from the errors of the times and
places in which they live, 10-and seek
especially for such knowledge, and study
such truths, as have the greatest influence
upon practice, 11 every man should
labour to get as much spiritual knowledge
as he can, without the neglect of other
duties, 12-caution against curiosity in the
pursuit of spiritual knowledge, 13, 14-
and against pride, 14-means to be used
for attaining such knowledge as is needful
for us; humility, 14-we must deny car-
nal reasonings, 15-be diligent in reading
the scriptures, which, however, does not
preclude us from making use of other good
books by faithful servants of God, 15-be
diligent and regular in attending on the
word preached, 15, 16-pray earnestly for
knowledge, 16 take time for getting
knowledge, 17. be much in teaching

-folly of those who cry down knowledge,
and consequently cry up ignorance, 19—

keep others from knowledge, 19, 20—
every one that desires to be saved should

things, as is most conducing to so high an
end, 21-the usefulness of this knowledge,
