for_o he_o be_v righteous_a actual_o we_o imputative_o he_o subjective_o we_o relative_o in_o he_o and_o unto_o he_o and_o so_o in_o these_o two_o last_o respect_n we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v

in_o himself_o and_o sin_n in_o we_o not_o by_o infusion_n of_o our_o sin_n into_o his_o most_o sacred_a person_n but_o by_o the_o imputation_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o acceptation_n of_o the_o

and_o sinful_a in_o ourselves_o by_o the_o inbred_a corruption_n of_o our_o own_o flesh_n last_o the_o final_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n active_o consider_v be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n

unto_o his_o servant_n rather_o than_o we_o poor_a slave_n shall_v be_v destroy_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o thus_o much_o brief_o of_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n active_o consider_v in_o

thereby_o to_o save_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n three_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n passive_o consider_v be_v the_o particular_a application_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n unto_o every_o faithful_a soul_n where_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v first_o that_o faith_n must_v apply_v unto_o we_o all_o the_o benefit_n that_o christ_n have_v effect_v for_o we_o second_o that_o every_o man_n in_o particular_a must_v apply_v those_o thing_n to_o himself_o for_o the_o first_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o manifest_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_n and_o the_o faith_n of_o devil_n and_o wicked_a man_n that_o the_o godly_a do_v apply_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n unto_o themselves_o and_o the_o other_o know_v they_o but_o have_v not_o the_o grace_n to_o apply_v they_o for_o so_o say_v augustine_n and_o peter_n lombard_n lib_n 3._o send_v do_v 23._o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o he_o that_o do_v believe_v christ_n and_o he_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o christ_n for_o the_o devil_n believe_v jesus_n to_o be_v christ_n but_o they_o believe_v not_o in_o christ_n because_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o believe_v god_n another_o thing_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o believe_v in_o god_n for_o to_o believe_v god_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o speak_v the_o truth_n in_o scripture_n and_o to_o believe_v god_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v but_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n be_v to_o believe_v with_o love_n and_o by_o love_v he_o to_o go_v unto_o he_o and_o to_o cleave_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o to_o dwell_v in_o he_o and_o he_o in_o we_o and_o this_o be_v that_o faith_n by_o which_o a_o sinful_a man_n be_v instrumental_o justify_v and_o account_v righteous_a in_o god_n sight_n for_o the_o second_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o this_o application_n of_o faith_n or_o of_o christ_n through_o faith_n must_v be_v particular_o apply_v by_o every_o man_n unto_o himself_o and_o that_o in_o a_o most_o special_a manner_n because_o a_o general_a faith_n be_v not_o the_o right_n justify_v faith_n for_o st._n paul_n testify_v that_o agrippa_n do_v believe_v the_o prophet_n act_n 26.27.28_o and_o yet_o agrippa_n confess_v that_o he_o be_v no_o christian_a and_o a_o natural_a man_n by_o the_o force_n of_o reason_n may_v be_v induce_v to_o acknowledge_v a_o god_n and_o that_o this_o god_n be_v powerful_a just_a and_o true_a and_o therefore_o to_o a_o general_a persuasion_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v and_o yet_o all_o this_o faith_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o justify_v we_o because_o the_o true_a justify_v faith_n be_v no_o natural_a quality_n but_o a_o supernatural_a gift_n of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v eph._n 2.8_o phil._n 1.29_o and_o therefore_o the_o general_a faith_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o christian_n but_o as_o we_o read_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n do_v apply_v the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n unto_o themselves_o as_o david_n say_v god_n be_v my_o rock_n and_o my_o redeemer_n and_o job_n 19.25_o i_o know_v that_o my_o redeemer_n live_v and_o mary_n say_v my_o soul_n rejoice_v in_o god_n my_o saviour_n luke_n 1.47_o and_o i_o homas_fw-la say_v my_o lord_n and_o my_o god_n john_n 21._o and_o paul_n galat._n 2.20_o christ_n love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o so_o must_v every_o christian_a that_o look_v for_o salvation_n apply_v in_o particlar_a the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o himself_o and_o this_o faith_n instrumental_o justifi_v the_o sinner_n last_o the_o final_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n passive_o consider_v be_v peace_n of_o conscience_n in_o this_o life_n and_o the_o atonement_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v the_o first_o be_v attain_v unto_o by_o two_o especial_a thing_n first_o by_o a_o assure_a persuasion_n that_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o so_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v from_o all_o the_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v we_o have_v peace_n towards_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n second_o by_o a_o unwearied_a study_n to_o strive_v against_o the_o stream_n of_o our_o own_o natural_a corruption_n and_o to_o keep_v a_o constant_a course_n in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n for_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o do_v bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o tree_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n shall_v live_v unto_o righteousness_n 1_o pet_n 2.24_o or_o as_o zanch._n say_v 1_o luke_n 74.75_o and_o so_o st._n august_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o the_o wicked_a not_o that_o they_o shall_v remain_v wicked_a but_o that_o they_o be_v justify_v through_o faith_n shall_v be_v convert_v from_o their_o wickedness_n and_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o holiness_n because_o as_o st._n august_n say_v also_o grace_n justifi_v that_o we_o may_v live_v just_o the_o second_o end_n of_o our_o justification_n be_v that_o the_o eternal_a blessedness_n which_o shall_v be_v attain_v hereafter_o when_o christ_n shall_v say_v unto_o all_o his_o justify_v saint_n come_v you_o bless_v etc._n etc._n matthew_n 25.34_o and_o so_o much_o for_o all_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o
