A60505 The true notion of imputed righteousness, and our justification thereby; being a supply of what is lacking in the late book of that most learned person bishop Stillingfleet, which is a discourse for reconciling the dissenting parties in London; but dying before he had finished the two last and most desired chapters thereof, he hath left this main point therein intended, without determination. By the Reverend M.S. a country minister. Smith, Matthew, 1650-1736. 1700 (1700) Wing S4134; ESTC R214778 162,043 254

by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o i_o e._n the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n many_o shall_v be_v make_v righteous_a but_o this_o not_o by_o account_v the_o satisfactory_a and_o meritorious_a

be_v more_o like_a and_o near_o the_o truth_n and_o thus_o i_o grant_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n have_v infinite_o more_o merit_n in_o it_o to_o procure_v justification_n for_o sinner_n upon_o

preacher_n if_o there_o be_v one_o in_o the_o world_n in_o this_o article_n further_o he_o want_v my_o proof_n that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n or_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o term_n and_o
