justification_n may_v be_v thus_o describe_v it_o be_v that_o whereby_o god_n for_o the_o sake_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n do_v approve_v of_o a_o true_a

performance_n to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n and_o according_o adjudge_v he_o to_o be_v righteous_a in_o the_o sense_n and_o according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o have_v a_o covenant_n right_a and_o title_n to_o the_o blessing_n promise_v in_o that_o covenant_n pardon_v of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n this_o description_n of_o justification_n as_o it_o best_o agree_v with_o the_o use_n and_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n and_o phrase_n so_o it_o do_v also_o with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o we_o shall_v afterward_o see_v which_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_a do_v i_o shall_v open_v the_o whole_a to_o you_o by_o open_v it_o in_o its_o several_a part_n and_o so_o shall_v show_v 1._o how_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n do_v operate_v to_o our_o justification_n 2._o how_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v it_o 3._o how_o faith_n do_v it_o and_o 4._o how_o god_n himself_o do_v it_o and_o thus_o to_o open_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o justification_n by_o show_v the_o operation_n of_o the_o several_a cause_n of_o it_o be_v i_o conceive_v the_o best_a and_o most_o likely_a way_n to_o come_v to_o the_o

chap._n ii_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o how_o it_o operate_v to_o our_o justification_n in_o show_v what_o influence_n our_o saviour_n righteousness_n have_v into_o our_o justification_n two_o thing_n will_v come_v under_o consideration_n 1._o what_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o our_o saviour_n 2._o how_o it_o operate_v to_o our_o justification_n first_o of_o the_o former_a what_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v the_o conformity_n of_o a_o person_n to_o some_o law_n or_o rule_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n it_o suppose_v some_o law_n in_o his_o conformity_n whereunto_o this_o righteousness_n of_o he_o whereof_o we_o speak_v do_v consist_v which_o law_n be_v the_o law_n of_o his_o mediation_n which_o he_o receive_v from_o his_o father_n and_o which_o he_o voluntary_o and_o most_o willing_o undertake_v to_o observe_v and_o fulfil_v the_o mutual_a agreement_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n about_o this_o law_n of_o mediation_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o the_o son_n undertake_v to_o fulfil_v it_o in_o order_n to_o our_o redemption_n divine_n be_v wont_a to_o call_v the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n and_o as_o the_o great_a office_n of_o mediator_n be_v peculiar_a to_o he_o alone_o for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n even_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n 1_o tim._n 2.5_o so_o the_o law_n of_o this_o mediation_n be_v peculiar_a to_o he_o and_o as_o the_o law_n and_o office_n of_o mediation_n be_v peculiar_a to_o our_o saviour_n so_o be_v his_o righteousness_n which_o consist_v in_o his_o conformity_n to_o that_o law_n it_o be_v a_o mediatory_a righteousness_n the_o benefit_n of_o it_o belong_v to_o believer_n as_o i_o shall_v afterward_o show_v but_o the_o righteousness_n itself_o which_o be_v mediatorial_n can_v be_v no_o more_o transfer_v to_o any_o other_o than_o his_o office_n of_o mediation_n can_v for_o his_o righteousness_n consist_v in_o those_o act_n of_o conformity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o mediation_n by_o which_o he_o do_v execute_v his_o office_n of_o mediation_n now_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o law_n of_o mediation_n between_o god_n and_o man_n give_v by_o god_n the_o father_n to_o christ_n his_o son_n and_o which_o he_o do_v most_o ready_o accept_v of_o execute_v and_o obey_v be_v plain_o make_v know_v to_o we_o by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o by_o many_o of_o his_o say_n as_o in_o john_n 6.38_o when_o he_o say_v i_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n not_o to_o do_v my_o own_o will_n but_o the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o and_o again_o the_o father_n which_o send_v i_o he_o give_v i_o commandment_n what_o i_o shall_v say_v and_o what_o i_o shall_v speak_v whatsoever_o i_o speak_v therefore_o even_o as_o the_o father_n say_v unto_o i_o so_o i_o speak_v john_n 12.49.50_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o his_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o sheep_n say_v no_o man_n take_v it_o from_o i_o but_o i_o lay_v it_o down_o of_o myself_o i_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o i_o have_v power_n to_o take_v it_o again_o this_o commandment_n have_v i_o receive_v of_o my_o father_n mark_n that_o john_n 10.18_o to_o fulfil_v this_o law_n be_v the_o design_n of_o our_o saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n heb._n 10.7_o then_o say_v i_o lo_o i_o come_v in_o the_o volume_n of_o thy_o book_n it_o be_v write_v of_o i_o to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n and_o of_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o law_n our_o saviour_n speak_v when_o in_o his_o prayer_n to_o his_o father_n he_o say_v i_o have_v finish_v the_o work_n which_o thou_o give_v i_o to_o do_v john_n 17.4_o these_o with_o other_o like_a scripture_n acquaint_v we_o with_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n give_v by_o the_o father_n and_o choose_v by_o the_o son_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o manage_v the_o office_n and_o work_n of_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n which_o we_o call_v the_o law_n
