Here is an English A.I. translation of Thomas Gilbert's response to John Owen's Dissertation on Divine Justice (1653). Parts of this were very difficult to render in a coherent manner no matter how many different ways I tried and I will likely update it in the future.

Virtually all of our information about Thomas Gilbert (1613-1694) comes from Edmund Calamy, who described him as “an ancient Divine; an excellent Scholar, of extraordinary Acuteness, and Conciseness of Style, and a most Scholastical Head. He had all the School-men at his Finger-ends” and that he “had a nice metaphysical head, and was the completest schoolman I ever was acquainted with.” Calamy's fullest comments on Gilbert can be read here: https://archive.org/details/historicalaccoun01cala/page/268/mode/2up?view=theater Gilbert wrote a short work responding to John Owen's Dissertation on Divine Justice, which he discussed with Calamy for only a short time as, in Calamy's words, "he could not apprehend that any thing he could add to it, would be able to satisfy. He desired, therefore, that he and I might have no farther discourse upon that subject."
