the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n for_o righteousness_n unto_o everye_o one_o that_o believe_v here_o paul_n make_v this_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o cast_n of_o of_o the_o jew_n for_o that_o they_o will_v join_v their_o own_o righteousness_n with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o of_o both_o join_v together_o make_v one_o form_n of_o righteousness_n 6._o also_o rom._n 11._o he_o reason_v thus_o if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o work_n or_o else_o be_v grace_n no_o more_o grace_n but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n it_o be_v no_o more_o grace_n or_o else_o be_v work_v no_o more_o work_n paul_n here_o first_o set_v down_o two_o contrary_a proposition_n without_o any_o mean_a between_o they_o if_o election_n and_o salvation_n be_v of_o work_n it_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v not_o of_o work_n because_o that_o debt_n and_o gift_n be_v so_o contrary_a that_o neither_o of_o they_o may_v right_o be_v say_v one_o of_o the_o other_o or_o both_o of_o they_o of_o any_o third_o either_o therefore_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v by_o faith_n alone_o or_o by_o work_n but_o the_o testimony_n before_o allege_a do_v prove_v that_o no_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n again_o if_o christian_n righteousness_n do_v consist_v of_o faith_n and_o work_n together_o the_o reason_n of_o paul_n be_v fond_a and_o vain_a rom._n 4._o to_o he_o that_o work_v the_o wage_n be_v not_o count_v by_o favour_n but_o by_o debt_n but_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o beleve_v in_o he_o that_o justifi_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o righteousness_n here_o paul_n make_v two_o sort_n of_o righteousness_n which_o differ_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o for_o they_o have_v contrary_a cause_n for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n righteousness_n by_o which_o he_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v be_v impute_v and_o give_v free_o but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n be_v not_o free_a furthermore_o if_o one_o part_n be_v to_o be_v attribute_v to_o faith_n the_o other_o part_n to_o work_n in_o the_o justification_n of_o man_n two_o absurdity_n shall_v follow_v thereof_o one_o that_o the_o promise_n shall_v be_v make_v uncertain_a which_o ought_v to_o be_v certain_a another_o that_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o suffice_v except_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o our_o work_n wherefore_o we_o embrace_v the_o say_n of_o augustine_n which_o say_v it_o be_v grace_n in_o no_o point_n except_o it_o be_v free_a in_o all_o point_n but_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o error_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v a_o philosophical_a imagination_n proceed_v which_o know_v no_o righteousness_n except_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a quality_n in_o us._n for_o it_o understand_v not_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o essential_a righteousness_n concern_v which_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v confute_v y_z t_z we_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a righteous_a before_o god_n by_o y_z e_z essential_a righteousness_n of_o god_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o principal_a efficient_a cause_n for_o the_o formal_a righteousness_n by_o which_o we_o be_v righteous_a before_o god_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n as_o paul_n plain_o teach_v rom._n 5._o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o many_o shall_v be_v make_v righteous_a double_a but_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o cross_n whereby_o he_o humble_v himself_o and_o become_v obedient_a unto_o the_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n philip._n 3._o the_o lord_n do_v make_v a_o full_a satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o obedience_n of_o the_o law_n he_o impute_v unto_o we_o that_o believe_v that_o by_o it_o we_o may_v appear_v righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n paul_n say_v that_o this_o righteousness_n or_o obedience_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v to_o they_o that_o believe_v therefore_o it_o be_v neither_o substance_n nor_o quality_n abide_v in_o they_o whereby_o a_o man_n be_v make_v righteous_a formal_o wherefore_o this_o affirmance_n be_v sure_o to_o be_v hold_v righteousness_n that_o christian_n righteousness_n be_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n impute_v to_o he_o that_o believe_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o must_v also_o understande_v this_o that_o the_o scripture_n make_v mention_n of_o three_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n of_o man_n man_n whereof_o one_o be_v of_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o stand_v before_o god_n and_o this_o be_v perfect_a as_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n be_v perfect_a life_n neither_o be_v it_o diminish_v or_o increase_v by_o the_o diminish_n or_o increase_v of_o faith_n for_o the_o publican_n have_v this_o full_a and_o perfect_a as_o well_o as_o peter_n although_o the_o faith_n of_o peter_n be_v much_o more_o manifest_a and_o know_v righteousness_n another_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o obedience_n which_o be_v also_o call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n this_o be_v not_o set_v against_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v not_o perfect_a obedience_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o faith_n a_o other_o there_o be_v come_v which_o be_v as_o yet_o look_v for_o whereof_o paul_n speak_v galat._n 5._o for_o we_o through_o the_o spirit_n wait_v for_o the_o hope_n of_o righteousness_n through_o faith_n and_o 1._o john_n 3._o dear_o belove_v now_o be_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v and_o we_o know_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o every_o man_n that_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o purge_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a this_o righteousness_n therefore_o be_v a_o make_n of_o we_o like_o unto_o god_n a_o dwell_n of_o god_n in_o we_o a_o full_a fruition_n of_o god_n a_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a love_n and_o although_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o the_o heart_n of_o they_o that_o believe_v be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o christ_n say_v john_n 14._o if_o any_o man_n love_v i_o he_o will_v keep_v my_o word_n and_o my_o father_n will_v love_v he_o and_o we_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o will_v dwell_v with_o he_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o this_o dwell_n of_o god_n in_o we_o be_v the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o stand_v before_o god_n but_o it_o be_v a_o divine_a presence_n in_o we_o by_o which_o we_o be_v renew_a do_v feel_v comfort_n and_o begin_v to_o approach_v to_o eternal_a life_n furthermore_o if_o man_n be_v justify_v here_o by_o essential_a righteousness_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o righteousness_n by_o which_o we_o be_v righteous_a in_o this_o life_n and_o that_o by_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o god_n in_o all_o eternity_n but_o paul_n put_v a_o

afterward_o when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o faith_n wrought_v with_o his_o work_n he_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o lively_a faith_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v effectual_a and_o full_a of_o

a_o most_o apt_a similitude_n propound_v he_o prove_v that_o the_o faith_n of_o hypocrite_n be_v vain_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a body_n or_o carcase_n wherein_o be_v no_o

to_o they_o that_o be_v obedient_a and_o disherit_v they_o that_o be_v disobedient_a so_o god_n the_o father_n promise_v inheritance_n to_o his_o child_n but_o those_o which_o of_o child_n be_v make_v
