Wesley Corpus

20. “This is an emblem of “John Goodwin contradicts the righteousness of the saints, this.” So he may; but I am both of their justification and not John Goodwin. So we sanctification.” have examined twenty wit nesses; and not one of all these proves that I contradict myself. 21. “I would address my self to you who are so ready to condemn all that use these expressions as Antinomians.” “On Mr. Hervey's using one of them, Mr. Wesley says, ‘Why are you at such pains to increase the number of Antinomians?’” But I do not condemn him as an Antinomian : Therefore, here is no contradiction. Whether it is or no, it is wide of the mark; for this is none of the expressions in question. Yes; but it is none of the expressions in question: So it is no contradiction. 22. Again: “Is not this, that Christ has satisfied the de mands of the law,the very quin tessence of Antinomianism?” 23. Again: “To say, ‘The claims of the law are all an swered,” is not this Antino mianism without a mask?” C. c. So I think. Yet I do not condemn all that use them as Antinomians: So here is no contradiction still. 25. “It is by faith we build on this foundation, the im puted righteousness of Christ.” 24. Once more: “There are many expressions in this Dialogue which directly lead to Antinomianism.” “If faith in the imputed righteousness of Christ is a fundamental principle, what becomes of all those who think nothing about imputed righteousness?” Here is no contradiction. Suppose I build my faith on this foundation, the imputed righteousness of Christ, it does not follow it is so fundamental a principle, that all who think nothing about it will be damned. 26. “But is not a believer Goodwin; that is, nothing. clothed with the righteousness of Christ? Undoubtedly heis.” 27. “The mantle of Christ's righteousness.” (Christian Li Goodwin again: Nothing against nothing. brary.) 28. “Christian Library.” 29. “The sole cause of our acceptance with God is the righteousness and the death of Christ, who fulfilled God’s law, and died in our stead.” Nothing. “I cannot prove, that it was requisite for Christ to fulfil the moral law in order to his purchasing redemption for us. By his sufferings alone the law was satisfied.” Undoubtedly it was.
