be_v jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a we_o have_v therefore_o propose_v to_o be_v consider_v first_o how_o clear_a the_o scripture_n be_v in_o this_o truth_n that_o it_o be_v his_o righteousness_n that_o carry_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o poor_a believer_n when_o he_o have_v sin_v and_o get_v the_o discharge_n for_o his_o sin_n after_o it_o be_v commit_v i_o say_v the_o plea_n lie_v in_o his_o righteousness_n i_o can_v insist_v upon_o the_o scripture_n mention_v they_o be_v very_o plentiful_a we_o come_v further_o to_o consider_v what_o this_o righteousness_n of_o he_o be_v that_o have_v such_o a_o strength_n of_o plea_n in_o it_o the_o resolution_n of_o this_o i_o distribute_v into_o two_o head_n first_o negative_a second_o affirmative_a first_o the_o righteousness_n which_o carry_v away_o the_o cause_n and_o obtain_v the_o discharge_n of_o a_o believer_n sin_n be_v no_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v our_o act_n of_o believe_v here_o we_o leave_v the_o last_o day_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o touch_n of_o the_o impossibility_n that_o faith_n shall_v so_o plead_v for_o the_o discharge_n from_o sin_n in_o its_o own_o name_n or_o strength_n as_o to_o carry_v away_o the_o cause_n on_o the_o side_n of_o this_o person_n sin_v it_o be_v true_a the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o 10._o to_o the_o roman_n about_o the_o 4._o verse_n a_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v indeed_o but_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v here_o give_v and_o ascribe_v unto_o faith_n be_v afterward_o appropriate_v to_o the_o word_n that_o be_v unto_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a say_v not_o in_o thy_o heart_n who_o shall_v ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n that_o be_v to_o bring_v christ_n from_o thence_o or_o who_o shall_v descend_v into_o the_o deep_a but_o what_o say_v it_o the_o word_n be_v nigh_o thou_o in_o thy_o heart_n &_o in_o thy_o mouth_n that_o be_v in_o the_o word_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o mouth_n that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o man_n own_o act_n of_o believe_v i_o can_v dwell_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v deliver_v before_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n brief_o to_o be_v consider_v even_o about_o our_o believe_v as_o it_o have_v a_o stroke_n in_o the_o discharge_n from_o sin_n or_o in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n the_o truth_n be_v belove_v some_o hand_n faith_n have_v in_o this_o business_n but_o it_o be_v not_o any_o righteousness_n in_o the_o act_n of_o believe_v that_o carry_v any_o stroke_n in_o it_o if_o you_o will_v consider_v it_o well_o you_o shall_v easy_o see_v there_o be_v no_o more_o righteousness_n in_o our_o believe_v as_o we_o do_v act_n believe_v than_o there_o be_v in_o any_o other_o gracious_a act_n whatsoever_o we_o do_v there_o be_v no_o more_o righteousness_n in_o the_o act_n of_o our_o beleve_v then_o be_v in_o our_o love_n of_o god_n nay_o more_o there_o be_v as_o much_o sinfulness_n in_o our_o act_n of_o believe_v as_o in_o our_o act_n of_o other_o gift_n there_o be_v no_o man_n under_o heaven_n have_v attain_v unto_o that_o height_n of_o believe_v or_o that_o strength_n of_o faith_n but_o there_o be_v still_o something_o want_v some_o imperfection_n and_o sinfulness_n in_o it_o and_o as_o there_o be_v weakness_n and_o imperfection_n in_o believe_v so_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o this_o believe_v shall_v give_v forth_o such_o a_o righteousness_n as_o to_o constitute_v a_o person_n who_o be_v unrighteous_a in_o himself_o to_o be_v righteous_a before_o god_n that_o which_o can_v set_v itself_o complete_a and_o righteous_a before_o god_n can_v never_o set_v another_o righteous_a before_o god_n faith_n must_v be_v first_o just_a itself_o or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a it_o shall_v be_v imagine_v it_o can_v ever_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o its_o own_o act_n justify_v another_o belove_a what_o ever_o the_o scripture_n speak_v concern_v faith_n justify_v it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v understand_v objective_o or_o declarative_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n either_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v our_o righteousness_n in_o respect_n of_o christ_n only_o who_o be_v believe_v on_o and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o act_n of_o believe_v but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o he_o that_o be_v apprehend_v by_o that_o act_n of_o believe_v or_o else_o you_o must_v understand_v it_o declarative_o that_o be_v whereas_o all_o our_o righteousness_n and_o all_o our_o discharge_n from_o sin_n flow_v only_o from_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n alone_o be_v a_o hide_a thing_n that_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v hide_v to_o man_n do_v become_v evident_a by_o believe_v and_o as_o faith_n do_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n evident_a to_o the_o believer_n so_o it_o be_v say_v to_o justify_v by_o its_o own_o act_n declarative_o and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o whereas_o in_o the_o 5._o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n and_o the_o 1._o verse_n the_o apostle_n there_o say_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n in_o rom._n 8._o vers_fw-la 33._o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o be_v god_n that_o justifi_v now_o i_o beseech_v you_o compare_v these_o text_n together_o then_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o act_n of_o believe_v except_o it_o have_v reference_n to_o the_o object_n which_o be_v christ_n of_o itself_o do_v justify_v whither_o or_o no_o these_o two_o place_n campossible_o be_v reconcile_v without_o contradiction_n it_o be_v god_n that_o justifi_v and_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o justifi_v faith_n be_v not_o god_n neither_o be_v god_n faith_n if_o therefore_o it_o be_v faith_n in_o justification_n in_o respect_n of_o its_o own_o act_n that_o justifi_v it_o be_v not_o god_n that_o justifi_v we_o and_o if_o it_o be_v god_n that_o justifi_v than_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n in_o respect_n of_o its_o own_o act_n how_o will_v you_o reconcile_v it_o when_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o faith_n justify_v it_o speak_v of_o faith_n as_o lay_v hold_n upon_o god_n for_o our_o justification_n and_o therefore_o though_o faith_n do_v here_o appear_v as_o that_o which_o do_v lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n yet_o faith_n here_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v that_o righteousness_n that_o do_v justify_v we_o ob._n but_o i_o know_v some_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o say_v have_v any_o innate_a power_n of_o its_o own_o to_o procure_v the_o discharge_n or_o pardon_v from_o sin_n but_o say_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n that_o lay_v hold_v upon_o that_o justification_n and_o so_o it_o go_v before_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o person_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v no_o otherwise_o answ_n i_o shall_v desire_v to_o keep_v in_o the_o plain_a path_n for_o the_o clear_n up_o of_o this_o truth_n and_o so_o far_o as_o possible_a may_v be_v i_o abhor_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o cloud_n in_o a_o truth_n that_o so_o high_o concern_v the_o comfort_n and_o establish_v the_o conscience_n and_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o faith_n as_o it_o lay_v hold_v upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n it_o do_v not_o bring_v this_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o soul_n but_o only_o do_v declare_v the_o presence_n of_o this_o righteousness_n in_o the_o 〈◊〉_d that_o be_v there_o even_o before_o faith_n be_v i_o beseech_v you_o mark_v i_o well_o i_o know_v belove_v i_o have_v many_o very_a catch_a ear_n about_o i_o i_o speak_v it_o the_o rather_o that_o there_o may_v be_v the_o more_o wariness_n because_o there_o be_v frequent_a misunderstanding_n &_o mistaking_n of_o the_o thing_n i_o deliver_v especial_o by_o

this_o person_n be_v justify_v and_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n before_o he_o do_v believe_v and_o therefore_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o instrument_n radical_o to_o unite_v christ_n and_o the_o soul_n

act_n of_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n that_o the_o father_n shall_v justify_v and_o acquit_v these_o person_n for_o who_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o christ_n this_o satisfaction_n and_o

after_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o full_a satisfaction_n to_o come_v upon_o the_o principal_a again_o and_o to_o make_v he_o pay_v the_o money_n and_o it_o be_v a_o plea_n ground_v in_o law_n that_o if_o that_o cause_n come_v in_o trial_n again_o the_o judge_n ought_v to_o acquit_v the_o principal_a if_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o debt_n be_v pay_v by_o the_o surety_n now_o christ_n have_v

satisfy_v it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n that_o the_o father_n shall_v acquit_v a_o person_n in_o this_o kind_n suppose_v a_o person_n shall_v be_v bring_v before_o a_o

before_o the_o judge_n that_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v so_o much_o money_n lend_v and_o borrow_v but_o say_v the_o advocate_n i_o myself_o become_v the_o surety_n for_o that_o man_n i_o pay_v

the_o truth_n of_o the_o plea_n whether_o in_o judgement_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o acquit_v that_o person_n who_o cause_n be_v plead_v before_o he_o he_o take_v sait_v faction_n he_o acknowledge_v

believer_n do_v commit_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n debt_n forgive_v we_o our_o debt_n as_o the_o word_n be_v but_o when_o this_o cause_n come_v to_o be_v agitate_a and_o

of_o a_o better_a testament_n upon_o it_o he_o come_v and_o pay_v the_o whole_a debt_n and_o he_o have_v satisfy_v his_o father_n he_o receive_v under_o his_o father_n hand_n that_o he_o have_v pay_v every_o farthing_n and_o that_o he_o be_v satisfy_v and_o that_o upon_o that_o satisfaction_n his_o people_n shall_v be_v discharge_v now_o this_o plea_n be_v ground_v upon_o justice_n itself_o observe_v but_o how_o full_o and_o clear_o the_o apostle_n speak_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o the_o 1._o of_o john_n 1.7_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o express_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n his_o son_n cleanse_v from_o all_o sin_n and_o here_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o again_o in_o the_o former_a chapter_n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n god_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n mark_v well_o that_o the_o apostle_n ground_n himself_o upon_o christ_n satisfaction_n namely_o his_o blood_n that_o do_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n upon_o this_o ground_n he_o do_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o faithfulness_n and_o justice_n in_o god_n to_o forgive_v sin_n i_o dare_v say_v none_o be_v so_o ignorant_a in_o these_o day_n of_o light_n as_o to_o think_v there_o be_v such_o a_o proportion_n between_o confession_n of_o sin_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n that_o confession_n can_v balance_v forgiveness_n and_o so_o consequent_o make_v it_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n no_o the_o apostle_n do_v ground_n the_o force_n of_o justice_n upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v shed_v therefore_o if_o you_o do_v observe_v it_o well_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o confession_n by_o way_n of_o anticipation_n or_o prevention_n of_o fear_n you_o know_v the_o common_a proverb_n in_o the_o world_n concern_v a_o malefactor_n apprehend_v be_v let_v he_o confess_v say_v we_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v hang_v why_o so_o because_o if_o it_o be_v disclose_v the_o law_n lay_v hold_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o die_v for_o it_o and_o therefore_o in_o natural_a policy_n his_o safety_n lie_v in_o conceal_v of_o it_o but_o now_o if_o satisfaction_n have_v be_v make_v by_o a_o friend_n of_o he_o to_o the_o law_n and_o according_o a_o pardon_n sue_v out_o for_o he_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n in_o his_o confession_n at_o all_o now_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n have_v before_o say_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n his_o son_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n from_o hence_o he_o gather_v encouragement_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o fear_v so_o as_o to_o conceal_v their_o sin_n lest_o be_v know_v they_o shall_v do_v they_o a_o mischief_n but_o say_v he_o lay_v all_o open_a before_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v nodanger_v to_o be_v suspect_v now_o for_o god_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v they_o therefore_o the_o hide_v of_o they_o shall_v prevent_v no_o evil_a because_o no_o evil_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o for_o they_o though_o they_o be_v lay_v open_a never_o so_o naked_a therefore_o be_v this_o speak_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o take_v away_o fear_v and_o this_o be_v the_o ●rue_a meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therein_o i_o say_v to_o take_v
