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

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
