from_o he_o alone_o 3._o the_o most_o learned_a of_o they_o say_v that_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v impute_v to_o every_o sinner_n that_o do_v believe_v for_o his_o satisfaction_n before_o god_n we_o say_v that_o the_o satisfaction_n make_v by_o christ_n death_n and_o obedience_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o and_o become_v our_o righteousness_n they_o say_v it_o be_v our_o

the_o difference_n be_v the_o papist_n understand_v a_o general_a faith_n whereby_o a_o man_n believe_v the_o article_n of_o religion_n to_o be_v true_a we_o hold_v the_o faith_n which_o justify_v to_o be_v a_o particular_a faith_n whereby_o we_o apply_v to_o ourselves_o the_o promise_n of_o righteousness_n &_o life_n everlasting_a by_o christ._n 2._o the_o papist_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v

hold_v that_o christ_n have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o they_o both_o eternal_a and_o temporal_a they_o hold_v that_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n have_v
