7._o in_o these_o word_n of_o mr._n wotton_n the_o judicious_a may_v please_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o mr._n wotton_n do_v confident_o affirm_v these_o two_o thing_n 1_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o imputation_n of_o sin_n to_o christ_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n than_o such_o as_o he_o have_v cite_v out_o of_o chrysostome_n and_o theophilact_fw-mi 2_o that_o no_o man_n can_v find_v any_o other_o imputation_n in_o the_o wriring_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n 3_o let_v i_o add_v this_o testimony_n of_o mr._n wotton_n both_o from_o my_o own_o knowledge_n and_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o other_o eminent_a christian_n that_o mr._n wotton_n be_v a_o man_n of_o approve_a integrity_n one_o that_o suffer_v much_o for_o christ_n through_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n a_o man_n of_o great_a read_n in_o all_o kind_n of_o writer_n both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a and_o a_o man_n of_o deep_a judgement_n and_o his_o book_n of_o reconciliation_n be_v print_v in_o his_o old_a age_n after_o much_o debate_n and_o study_v and_o revise_v and_o therefore_o what_o he_o say_v in_o this_o point_n of_o imputation_n ought_v not_o and_o will_v not_o be_v slight_v of_o the_o judicious_a the_o wise_a will_v understand_v 4_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o reader_n that_o please_v may_v yet_o be_v more_o full_o satisfy_v by_o the_o labour_n of_o grotius_n that_o this_o affirmation_n of_o mr._n wotton'_v be_v a_o manifest_a truth_n namely_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o otherwise_o impute_v to_o christ_n but_o as_o he_o bear_v our_o punishment_n in_o his_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n according_a to_o 1_o pet._n 2._o 24._o 5_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o grotius_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o produce_v such_o testimony_n from_o the_o ancient_a divine_n against_o socinus_n because_o as_o i_o perceive_v by_o several_a writer_n socinus_n deny_v christ_n suffering_n to_o belong_v to_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n 6_o on_o the_o other_o

do_v oppose_v mr._n nortons_n kind_n of_o imputation_n because_o he_o do_v oppose_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n in_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n for_o thus_o he_o say_v the_o righteousness_n 36._o grotius_n in_o his_o appendix_n to_o god_n and_o his_o providence_n p._n 83._o 96._o and_o in_o his_o war_n &_o peace_n part_n 1._o ch_n 36._o which_o they_o call_v imputative_a the_o mere_a device_n of_o man_n be_v thrust_v upon_o we_o instead_o of_o divine_a dictate_v and_o say_v he_o in_o his_o war_n and_o peace_n the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o determine_v by_o any_o law_n but_o by_o a_o special_a covenant_n but_o mr._n norton_n hold_v that_o both_o the_o incarnation_n and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v legal_a obedience_n quite_o contrary_a to_o grotius_n these_o thing_n consider_v i_o can_v but_o stand_v and_o wonder_v what_o mr._n norton_n will_v now_o say_v to_o grotius_n sure_o if_o he_o will_v still_o hold_v to_o grotius_n than_o he_o must_v first_o renounce_v his_o own_o tenant_n for_o grotius_n do_v full_o overthrow_v both_o mr._n nortons_n comparative_a argument_n cite_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n 7_o hence_o also_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o imputation_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o
they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o sin_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n and_o therefore_o also_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o this_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n but_o the_o dialogue_n speak_v only_o of_o sinner_n that_o be_v reasonable_a creature_n yea_o and_o of_o such_o sinner_n as_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o speak_v of_o such_o creature_n as_o be_v capable_a of_o pardon_n and_o so_o they_o be_v fit_a subject_n of_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o pardon_n but_o second_o why_o can_v pardon_v complete_a righteousness_n have_v not_o god_n a_o supreme_a power_n by_o his_o voluntary_a

2_o cor._n 5._o 21._o and_o so_o consequent_o of_o the_o same_o term_n in_o rom._n 3._o 21_o 22_o 25_o 26._o and_o in_o rom._n 10._o 3._o and_o in_o phil._n 3._o 9_o be_v confirm_v and_o strengthen_v

but_o whether_o justification_n precise_o consider_v be_v a_o part_n of_o or_o a_o necessary_a antecedent_n or_o mean_n of_o reconciliation_n it_o be_v free_o leave_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o

may_v as_o well_o bear_v a_o interpretation_n agreeable_a hereunto_o as_o any_o other_o thus_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n to_o himself_o how_o by_o not_o impute_v their_o trespass_n to_o they_o so_o as_o the_o not_o imputation_n of_o sin_n say_v he_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o antecedent_n and_o mean_n rather_o than_o a_o part_n of_o atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n reply_v 1._o it_o be_v now_o apparent_a why_o mr._n norton_n do_v stumble_v at_o the_o dialogue_n for_o give_v two_o part_n to_o reconciliation_n according_a to_o mr._n wotton_n it_o be_v to_o introduce_v his_o conjecture_n quite_o contrary_a to_o mr._n wotton_n namely_o that_o god_n non-imputation_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o antecedent_n and_o mean_n rather_o than_o a_o part_n of_o atonement_n or_o reconciliation_n but_o because_o he_o express_v himself_o to_o be_v somewhat_o uncertain_a in_o his_o notion_n in_o this_o point_n therefore_o he_o can_v be_v think_v to_o be_v a_o fit_a judge_n to_o censure_v the_o dialogue_n nor_o to_o determine_v this_o controversy_n but_o the_o scripture_n be_v most_o plain_a in_o this_o point_n if_o they_o be_v not_o intricate_v by_o such_o uncertain_a conjecture_n 1_o the_o scripture_n speak_v plain_o that_o when_o the_o bullock_n for_o sin_n be_v offer_v by_o the_o priest_n to_o make_v atonement_n for_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n than_o the_o promise_v annex_v say_v it_o shall_v be_v forgive_v he_o levit_fw-la 4._o 20._o any_o man_n from_o hence_o may_v see_v plain_o that_o god_n forgiveness_n be_v not_o a_o antecedent_n but_o a_o true_a part_n of_o his_o atonement_n if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a the_o like_a be_v say_v of_o the_o ruler_n sin_n in_o v._o 26._o and_o the_o like_a be_v say_v of_o the_o sin_n of_o any_o of_o the_o people_n in_o ver_fw-la 31_o 35._o namely_o that_o when_o god_n atonement_n be_v procure_v by_o their_o say_a sin-sacrifice_n then_o thereupon_o their_o sin_n be_v say_v to_o be_v forgive_v they_o 2_o the_o burnt-offering_n and_o three_o the_o trespass-offering_n be_v ordain_v to_o procure_v god_n gracious_a forgiveness_n as_o a_o part_n of_o his_o atonement_n as_o in_o levit._n 5._o 10_o 13_o 16_o 18._o and_o in_o leu._n 6._o 7._o and_o in_o leu._n 19_o 22._o and_o in_o numb_a 15._o 25_o 26_o 28._o in_o all_o these_o place_n god_n promise_v of_o his_o forgiveness_n by_o his_o atonement_n do_v open_o proclaim_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o all_o israel_n and_o in_o the_o ear_n of_o all_o other_o that_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v that_o when_o god_n atonement_n be_v obtain_v by_o sacrifice_n then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o that_o person_n be_v actual_o justify_v either_o he_o be_v ceremonial_o justify_v as_o a_o person_n fit_a to_o stand_v before_o god_n holy_a presence_n in_o his_o sanctuary_n or_o else_o in_o case_n they_o have_v faith_n to_o look_v from_o the_o typical_a atonement_n to_o the_o mystical_a they_o shall_v thereby_o have_v a_o eternal_a pardon_n from_o their_o moral_a sin_n and_o so_o a_o eternal_a justification_n in_o god_n sight_n or_o thus_o god_n reconciliation_n procure_v by_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n be_v not_o like_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o a_o judge_n that_o do_v but_o bare_o acquit_v a_o malefactor_n and_o so_o leave_v he_o but_o it_o be_v like_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o a_o merciful_a father_n that_o do_v not_o only_o forgive_v his_o child_n but_o together_o with_o that_o forgiveness_n do_v also_o receive_v he_o into_o favour_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n these_o two_o term_n god_n atonement_n and_o his_o gracious_a forgiveness_n for_o christ_n sacrifice_n sake_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o thus_o god_n forgiveness_n be_v the_o whole_a of_o his_o reconciliation_n 3_o this_o sense_n of_o god_n forgiveness_n as_o it_o be_v the_o whole_a of_o reconciliation_n be_v evident_a by_o god_n promise_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n for_o in_o jer._n 31._o 34._o the_o promise_n run_v thus_o i_o will_v forgive_v their_o iniquity_n and_o i_o will_v remember_v their_o sin_n no_o more_o this_o promise_n be_v thus_o expound_v in_o heb._n 8._o 12._o i_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o their_o unrighteousness_n 12._o heb._n 8._o 12._o and_o their_o sin_n and_o their_o iniquity_n will_v i_o remember_v no_o more_o the_o first_o expression_n i_o will_v be_v
