Justification Vindicated
Robert Traill's classic defense of justification by faith alone, written to answer charges of antinomianism leveled at Puritan preachers of free grace in the 1690s. Traill shows that faith is not a work or condition but the empty hand that receives Christ's imputed righteousness, and that true gospel grace produces holiness rather than license.
Based on A Vindication of the Protestant Doctrine concerning Justification (1692), by Robert Traill

In Robert Traill's own words
“The plain old Protestant doctrine is that the place of faith in justification is only that of a hand or instrument, receiving the righteousness of Christ, for which only we are justified.”
“Working for life, a man naturally understands; but believing for life, he understands not.”
