as_o he_o be_v mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n present_v his_o righteousness_n unto_o god_n to_o be_v impute_v to_o his_o people_n for_o their_o justification_n as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o

of_o justice_n or_o of_o grace_n i_o conceive_v this_o act_n of_o god_n impute_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o his_o people_n be_v a_o act_n of_o grace_n or_o free_a favour_n &_o

against_o every_o one_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n and_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o accept_v of_o satisfaction_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o in_o their_o stead_n nor_o to_o hold_v they_o discharge_v of_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o another_o suffering_n for_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o mere_a grace_n in_o god_n to_o accept_v of_o christ_n his_o satisfaction_n in_o behalf_n of_o sinner_n and_o to_o impute_v his_o righteousness_n to_o they_o and_o to_o account_v it_o they_o for_o their_o justification_n and_o

be_v free_o impute_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n &_o account_v it_o they_o accept_v they_o as_o righteous_a through_o he_o second_o observe_v how_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v

as_o he_o give_v to_o believer_n this_o righteousness_n be_v receive_v and_o apply_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n not_o by_o the_o faith_n which_o christ_n have_v but_o by_o the_o faith_n which_o believer_n have_v in_o christ_n not_o by_o the_o faith_n whereby_o christ_n believe_v but_o by_o the_o faith_n whereby_o man_n believe_v in_o christ._n believer_n be_v unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o by_o faith_n on_o the_o other_o god_n impute_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n unto_o they_o and_o they_o receive_v and_o apply_v it_o to_o themselves_o by_o faith_n 28._o so_o in_o that_o conclusion_n of_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n in_o these_o and_o many_o other_o place_n where_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v divine_n understand_v it_o to_o be_v mean_v not_o meritorious_o for_o so_o christ_n justify_v by_o his_o merit_n procure_v justification_n for_o sinner_n not_o by_o way_n of_o efficiency_n for_o so_o god_n justify_v as_o the_o author_n of_o justification_n as_o the_o judge_n impute_v christ_n his_o righteousness_n to_o believer_n and_o so_o justify_v they_o not_o material_o for_o so_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n justify_v as_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n not_o formal_o for_o that_o be_v by_o way_n of_o imputation_n but_o faith_n justify_v 1._o objective_n not_o by_o force_n of_o its_o own_o act_n of_o believe_v but_o by_o virtue_n of_o its_o object_n which_o it_o

observe_v the_o effect_n or_o consequent_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n thus_o impute_v of_o god_n and_o receive_v by_o faith_n they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n 1._o bless_a be_v they_o who_o iniquity_n be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n be_v cover_v bless_a be_v the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o impute_v sin_n christ_n his_o righteousness_n be_v

which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v accept_v as_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n because_o the_o perfect_a

everlasting_a life_n and_o salvation_n 30._o who_o he_o justify_v they_o he_o also_o glorify_v again_o a_o constant_a consequent_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n communicate_v and_o impute_v to_o believer_n for_o their_o justification_n be_v regeneration_n conversion_n sanctification_n for_o the_o same_o faith_n which_o apply_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o believer_n for_o

of_o the_o point_n be_v branch_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o communicate_v his_o perfect_a righteousness_n to_o believer_n do_v establish_v the_o law_n this_o clear_o follow_v upon_o

and_o then_o communicate_v his_o perfect_a righteousness_n to_o believer_n make_v they_o one_o with_o himself_o unite_n himself_o to_o they_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o unite_n they_o to_o himself_o

after_o the_o spirit_n but_o of_o this_o somewhat_o may_v be_v speak_v upon_o the_o next_o point_n the_o three_o particular_a follow_v 3._o viz._n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n establish_v the_o law_n by_o communicate_v his_o perfect_a righteousness_n to_o believer_n where_o as_o in_o the_o former_a point_n there_o be_v two_o branch_n 1._o that_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v communicate_v to_o believer_n branch_n 2._o that_o hereby_o the_o law_n be_v establish_v concern_v the_o former_a you_o hear_v before_o of_o the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n who_o both_o be_v a_o lamb_n without_o spot_n know_v no_o sin_n and_o perform_v complete_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o also_o do_v undergo_v the_o punishment_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n due_a to_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o so_o make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n now_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v clear_v be_v this_o that_o this_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v communicate_v to_o believer_n 2._o how_o it_o be_v receive_v by_o believer_n 3._o what_o be_v the_o effect_n and_o consequent_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n thus_o communicate_v and_o receive_v for_o the_o first_o 1._o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v communicate_v to_o believer_n not_o by_o infusion_n but_o by_o imputation_n 21._o not_o so_o as_o to_o be_v inherent_a in_o they_o but_o so_o as_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o they_o so_o as_o to_o be_v account_v they_o for_o he_o have_v make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v not_o infuse_v into_o christ_n so_o as_o to_o be_v inherent_a in_o he_o but_o impute_v to_o he_o so_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o infuse_v into_o believer_n so_o as_o to_o be_v inherent_a in_o they_o but_o be_v impute_v to_o they_o and_o account_v they_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o christ_n have_v make_v to_o the_o law_n be_v impute_v to_o they_o that_o be_v reckon_v to_o belong_v unto_o they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n in_o their_o own_o person_n 24._o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o abraham_n it_o be_v impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n now_o it_o be_v not_o write_v for_o his_o sake_n alone_o that_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o but_o for_o we_o also_o to_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v impute_v if_o we_o believe_v on_o he_o who_o raise_v up_o jesus_n our_o lord_n from_o the_o dead_a as_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v pardon_v a_o great_a malefactor_n for_o his_o father_n sake_n who_o have_v do_v some_o eminent_a service_n to_o the_o state_n his_o father_n deserve_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o account_v his_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v his_o own_o and_o when_o a_o surety_n pay_v another_o debt_n the_o payment_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o debtor_n and_o account_v as_o do_v by_o he_o and_o he_o be_v as_o full_o discharge_v and_o esteem_v out_o of_o debt_n as_o if_o he_o have_v pay_v it_o with_o his_o own_o money_n so_o believer_n have_v no_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v to_o they_o that_o be_v account_v they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v perfect_o righteous_a by_o perform_v perfect_a obedience_n and_o make_v full_a

nature_n this_o act_n of_o imputation_n be_v 1._o it_o be_v god_n that_o impute_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o believer_n say_v the_o apostle_n david_n describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o

a_o sure_a argument_n that_o he_o be_v high_o in_o the_o judge_n favour_n 4._o he_o improve_v his_o interest_n in_o the_o judge_n by_o make_v intercession_n for_o his_o people_n present_v his_o
