to_o you_o p._n 83._o i_o have_v the_o same_o where_o ask_v how_o the_o very_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v or_o can_v be_v we_o or_o reckon_v to_o we_o as_o we_o i_o answer_v the_o effect_n be_v we_o really_n and_o his_o righteousness_n we_o relative_o in_o regard_n to_o those_o effect_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o i_o can_v find_v in_o some_o book_n of_o mr._n baxter_n word_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n or_o these_o same_o word_n when_o we_o three_o then_o thus_o agree_v why_o shall_v not_o you_o be_v put_v upon_o it_o and_o bring_v into_o the_o case_n of_o confession_n have_v

learn_v only_a legal_o and_o we_o say_v not_o so_o but_o relative_o only_a in_o regard_n to_o the_o effect_n how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o in_o so_o many_o place_n in_o your_o book_n you_o bring_v in_o the_o charm_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n impute_v and_o as_o it_o be_v sometime_o by_o head_n and_o shoulder_n as_o it_o seem_v purposely_o to_o make_v folk_n believe_v as_o if_o you_o be_v one_o that_o maintain_v the_o same_o doctrine_n with_o your_o brethren_n who_o you_o oppose_v how_o can_v this_o pass_v and_o not_o appear_v to_o be_v without_o sincerity_n so_o long_o as_o

then_o must_v we_o return_v all_o three_o to_o the_o road_n of_o the_o common_a protestant_a doctrine_n and_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o our_o own_o work_n whether_o legal_a or_o
