i_o confine_v myself_o to_o these_o few_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o doctor_n be_v mistake_v because_o christ_n suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n that_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o suffer_v may_v be_v our_o

be_v partaker_n of_o forgiveness_n and_o a_o right_n to_o life_n through_o christ_n atonement_n for_o we_o which_o be_v mercy_n so_o eminent_o the_o contrivance_n and_o gift_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o think_v the_o very_a mediatorial_n righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v subjective_o in_o we_o because_o we_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n therefore_o he_o think_v we_o have_v the_o perfect_a cause_n of_o that_o acceptance_n viz._n all_o loveliness_n upon_o ourselves_o because_o the_o church_n be_v now_o without_o spot_n so_o as_o for_o christ_n sake_n to_o be_v accept_v and_o not_o detest_v by_o god_n and_o be_v on_o the_o account_n of_o the_o beginning_n be_v of_o god_n image_n please_v to_o christ_n and_o will_v hereafter_o be_v perfect_o sanctify_v without_o the_o least_o blemish_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n therefore_o he_o think_v it_o be_v now_o without_o blemish_n or_o imperfection_n because_o christ_n perfect_a righteousness_n be_v security_n for_o our_o pardon_n and_o inviolable_a right_n to_o glory_n therefore_o he_o think_v we_o be_v as_o righteous_a as_o he_o as_o to_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n too_o because_o christ_n be_v make_v of_o god_n to_o we_o wisdom_n sanctification_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o he_o think_v we_o be_v as_o holy_a as_o he_o whereas_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n be_v that_o christ_n be_v appoint_v
