To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here obedience is designedly kept from our eyes, and withdrawn from faith to prevent our resting on obedience as a condition of salvation, or a ground of justification. The Apostles also give many rules to direct the walk of faith ; and often couple faith with love or obedience, and declare the faith which produceth not good works, is a dead faith, the cold product of a human brain, and cannot justify. If faith is alonCy unattended with works, it is not the faith of God, and does not unite the ...soul to Christ, and cannot draw life from him. But when the Apostles speak expressly of justifi- cation, you hear of nothing else but faith ; then it is, justified by faith ; saved by grace through faith ; believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved. At such times, like their Master, they purposely drop obedience, to prevent a reliance on it for justification. When Paul is largely handling the point of justi- fication, he quotes a passage from the Psalms, and introduceth it with this preface, Even as David describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness, without works, saying.
