In-Text For (to shew that St. Iames does not either contradict or confute St. Paul, ) The Works excluded by St. Paul, are no other than the Deeds of the Ceremonial Law; And those included by St. Iames, are no other than the Works of the Moral Law. So we are justified by Faith as the Root of Works; and we are justified by Works, as the Fruit of Faith. Not by Faith without Works, for then St. Iames would not be Orthodox; nor yet by Works without Faith, for then we could not defend St. Paul; but by such a Faith as worketh, and by such Works as are of Faith. By Both indeed improperly, as being but necessary Conditions; But very properly by Christ, as being the sole meritorious Cause. Again because 'tis very natural for Carnal Professors of Christianity, For (to show that Saint James does not either contradict or confute Saint Paul,) The Works excluded by Saint Paul, Are no other than the deeds of the Ceremonial Law; And those included by Saint James, Are no other than the Works of the Moral Law. So we Are justified by Faith as the Root of Works; and we Are justified by Works, as the Fruit of Faith. Not by Faith without Works, for then Saint James would not be Orthodox; nor yet by Works without Faith, for then we could not defend Saint Paul; but by such a Faith as works, and by such Works as Are of Faith.
