be_v apparent_o our_o own_o righteousness_n but_o paul_n in_o point_n of_o justification_n utter_o disclaim_v his_o own_o righteousness_n phil._n 3._o 9_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v find_v in_o christ_n

which_o text_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o distinguish_v self-righteousness_n into_o two_o sort_n disclaim_v only_o one_o of_o they_o but_o he_o distinguish_v inter_fw-la propriam_fw-la justiciam_fw-la

have_v my_o own_o righteousness_n say_v the_o apostle_n but_o that_o which_o be_v through_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n or_o what_o if_o we_o construe_v it_o thus_o not_o have_v my_o own_o

from_o that_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n the_o righteousness_n which_o paul_n rest_v upon_o be_v such_o a_o righteousness_n as_o come_v in_o through_o faith_n and_o by_o faith_n therefore_o faith_n be_v neither_o it_o nor_o any_o part_n of_o it_o when_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o justify_v or_o to_o be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v faith_n of_o itself_o but_o faith_n in_o regard_n of_o its_o crucified_a object_n that_o we_o do_v not_o speak_v this_o gratis_n but_o upon_o scripture_n ground_n we_o will_v instance_n in_o a_o chapter_n where_o the_o apostle_n express_v himself_o full_o and_o punctual_o to_o the_o very_a case_n in_o hand_n it_o be_v gal._n 3._o one_o of_o the_o most_o pregnant_a place_n which_o the_o promoter_n of_o to_o credere_fw-la make_v use_n of_o where_o indeed_o paul_n affirm_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o that_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n but_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o paul_n in_o that_o very_a chapter_n use_v the_o word_n faith_n again_o and_o again_o for_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n so_o v._n 23._o before_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n etc._n etc._n and_o again_o v._o 25._o after_o that_o faith_n be_v come_v we_o be_v no_o long_o under_o a_o schoolmaster_n by_o the_o come_n of_o faith_n be_v here_o undeniable_o mean_v the_o come_n of_o the_o object_n not_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o twice_o in_o that_o chapter_n v._o 7._o 9_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n who_o be_v of_o faith_n i._n e._n they_o who_o be_v of_o christ_n by_o faith_n so_o that_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n in_o this_o very_a chapter_n wherein_o he_o speak_v of_o justification_n by_o faith_n use_v the_o word_n faith_n in_o a_o relative_a and_o metanimical_a sense_n as_o it_o import_v christ_n now_o add_v hereunto_o that_o faith_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n to_o cred●re_v the_o very_a act_n can_v be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n can_v justify_v as_o the_o argument_n before_o evince_n it_o be_v true_a faith_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n be_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o include_v christ_n righteousness_n as_o the_o object_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o we_o must_v distingnish_v betwixt_o the_o act_n and_o the_o object_n though_o the_o act_n can_v be_v without_o the_o object_n and_o so_o the_o adversary_n themselves_o do_v when_o they_o say_v that_o to_o credere_fw-la be_v impute_v and_o not_o christ_n righteousness_n they_o do_v in_o those_o very_a word_n distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o act_n and_o the_o object_n as_o we_o do_v only_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n betwixt_o we_o be_v whether_o we_o be_v accept_v righteous_a for_o that_o act_n of_o we_o of_o which_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v the_o object_n or_o for_o that_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n upon_o which_o our_o act_n be_v terminate_v or_o for_o both_o take_v together_o the_o first_o make_v our_o act_n the_o thing_n for_o which_o we_o be_v righteous_a christ_n only_o the_o object_n of_o it_o &_o so_o establish_v a_o self-righteousness_n whole_o the_o last_o make_v we_o to_o be_v accept_v righteous_a for_o a_o righteousness_n from_o two_o distinct_a subject_n ourselves_o and_o christ_n which_o can_v be_v and_o beside_o it_o establish_v a_o self-righteousness_n in_o part_n which_o must_v not_o be_v the_o middle_a way_n only_a attribute_n all_o to_o christ_n when_o we_o rely_v for_o justification_n not_o upon_o our_o own_o act_n but_o upon_o christ_n righteousness_n the_o object_n of_o it_o to_o shun_v all_o ambiguity_n in_o term_n we_o mean_v in_o plain_a term_n thus_o there_o be_v a_o apparent_a difference_n betwixt_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n believe_v in_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o our_o believe_v in_o christ_n but_o by_o our_o christ_n believe_v in_o even_o as_o we_o be_v not_o clothe_v by_o put_v on_o the_o garment_n but_o by_o the_o garment_n put_v on_o nor_o cure_v by_o apply_v the_o plaster_n but_o by_o the_o plaster_n apply_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v not_o only_o the_o object_n of_o that_o act_n which_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n but_o it_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n the_o
