Postscript

Reader, I have now given you the substance of the two first sermons preached on this text; and that which follows, contains an answer to all the main objections brought against this doctrine; particularly that of the Apostle James, about works justifying, and not faith only. And if this meets with kind reception, and I have encouragement, I shall publish two sermons more (God willing) and fully demonstrate, That justification is by the imputation of Christ's righteousness, or by grace alone; and the nature of imputation opened, together how we are to understand the change of persons: Wherein I shall produce the testimony of the ancient fathers, and a multitude of our faithful modern divines, and worthy late writers; that so you may see we plead for no new doctrine, but the very same that all good men and Orthodox Christians, in every age have maintained; which will, I hope, be of great advantage to the Church of God. And also show you how faith is concerned in our justification, or is said to justify, and how not; together with the nature of that faith. As also the difficulty and excellence of that faith that is accounted for righteousness: Likewise the horrid evil and danger of the sin of unbelief; and Mr. Williams's book and doctrine further considered.
