Whether, ye actiue obedience of Christ performed to ye morall law, be imputed in justification or noe, or how it is imputed. Wherein likewise many other difficulties and questions touching ye great busines of iustification viz ye matter, & forme thereof etc are opened & cleared.

grace_n beside_o faith_n they_o will_v have_v carry_v eternal_a life_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o with_o as_o high_a a_o hand_n as_o believe_v now_o do_v naaman_n leprosy_n be_v curable_a

that_o faith_n justifi_v in_o relation_n to_o its_o object_n or_o as_o it_o receive_v and_o apprehend_v christ_n or_o christ_n righteousness_n or_o the_o like_a of_o any_o value_n if_o it_o be_v due_o consider_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o argument_n be_v usual_o bind_v up_o in_o this_o similitude_n as_o the_o hand_n be_v say_v to_o enrich_v a_o man_n because_o it_o receive_v the_o money_n or_o treasure_n whereby_o he_o be_v enrich_v so_o faith_n must_v needs_o be_v say_v to_o justify_v because_o it_o receive_v christ_n who_o be_v our_o righteousness_n and_o by_o who_o we_o be_v justify_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o the_o take_a silver_n or_o gold_n with_o the_o hand_n that_o enrich_v a_o man_n no_o nor_o the_o silver_n or_o gold_n so_o take_v that_o simple_o enrich_v he_o a_o man_n may_v be_v never_o the_o rich_a for_o receive_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n of_o silver_n and_o gold_n nay_o a_o man_n may_v be_v much_o the_o poor_a and_o more_o miserable_a for_o receive_v or_o take_v money_n if_o he_o receive_v or_o take_v it_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n as_o when_o a_o thief_n break_v into_o a_o house_n and_o take_v away_o much_o treasure_n with_o he_o or_o put_v forth_o his_o hand_n to_o take_v a_o man_n purse_n by_o the_o highway_n side_n his_o hand_n in_o these_o case_n can_v be_v say_v to_o make_v he_o rich_a because_o it_o receive_v treasure_n neither_o do_v the_o treasure_n so_o receive_v make_v he_o rich_a but_o poor_a and_o miserable_a because_o now_o he_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n and_o own_v his_o life_n and_o all_o he_o be_v worth_a beside_o unto_o it_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n hand_n enrich_v he_o by_o receive_v that_o which_o do_v enrich_v he_o it_o do_v it_o not_o simple_o as_o it_o receive_v it_o for_o then_o it_o shall_v do_v it_o always_o and_o in_o all_o case_n whatsoever_o but_o it_o do_v it_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o law_n or_o agreement_n of_o the_o state_n where_o he_o live_v which_o secure_v a_o man_n in_o the_o quiet_a possession_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o such_o money_n or_o treasure_n as_o he_o lawful_o receive_v to_o his_o own_o use_n so_o though_o christ_n be_v a_o treasure_n of_o righteousness_n and_o justification_n in_o himself_o it_o do_v not_o present_o follow_v that_o whosoever_o take_v hold_v on_o he_o or_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v present_o be_v make_v righteous_a or_o justify_v by_o he_o but_o here_o must_v intervene_v some_o law_n covenant_n or_o decree_n from_o god_n to_o establish_v and_o authorise_v such_o a_o believe_a or_o lay_v hold_n on_o he_o to_o be_v a_o man_n righteousness_n or_o justification_n we_o do_v not_o suppose_v they_o can_v but_o for_o argument_n sake_n we_o will_v suppose_v that_o if_o the_o devil_n shall_v believe_v on_o christ_n hope_v or_o expect_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o he_o as_o man_n do_v who_o believe_a be_v justify_v yet_o they_o shall_v be_v never_o the_o near_o any_o justification_n by_o he_o though_o he_o be_v a_o treasure_n of_o righteousness_n why_o because_o god_n have_v make_v no_o law_n promise_v covenant_n or_o agreement_n with_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v justify_v by_o faith_n therefore_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o believe_v as_o man_n do_v yet_o christ_n will_v be_v no_o more_o any_o righteousness_n unto_o they_o than_o now_o he_o be_v much_o more_o may_v be_v say_v and_o may_v be_v say_v elsewhere_o for_o the_o evidence_n of_o this_o conclusion_n but_o here_o i_o will_v hasten_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o desire_v to_o explain_v myself_o a_o little_o further_a touch_v this_o conclusion_n only_o in_o two_o word_n when_o i_o deny_v that_o faith_n justifi_v in_o its_o relation_n to_o its_o object_n or_o as_o it_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n i_o be_o far_o from_o say_v or_o conceive_v that_o any_o faith_n shall_v justify_v but_o that_o only_a which_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n yea_o i_o grant_v and_o very_o believe_v that_o whereas_o there_o be_v many_o other_o act_n of_o faith_n beside_o believe_v or_o lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n as_o viz._n to_o comfort_n and_o strengthen_v and_o purify_v the_o heart_n of_o those_o that_o believe_v and_o the_o like_a yet_o that_o decree_n or_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n which_o i_o conceive_v make_v faith_n justify_v concurre_v with_o it_o towards_o this_o great_a effect_n only_o in_o that_o act_n of_o lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n and_o not_o in_o any_o of_o the_o other_o so_o that_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o grant_v &_o hold_v that_o faith_n may_v be_v say_v to_o justify_v as_o it_o lay_v hold_v of_o christ_n comparative_o viz._n as_o this_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v distinguish_v from_o those_o other_o act_n which_o it_o likewise_o produce_v it_o do_v not_o justify_v either_o as_o it_o comfort_v or_o as_o it_o purify_v the_o heart_n etc._n etc._n but_o only_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o christ_n and_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o this_o only_a be_v that_o which_o i_o deny_v that_o this_o act_n of_o faith_n whereby_o it_o receive_v or_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n have_v that_o in_o the_o nature_n or_o inherent_o in_o it_o or_o any_o otherwise_o or_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n then_o from_o the_o will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n which_o make_v it_o available_a unto_o justification_n it_o have_v no_o foundation_n

god_n in_o their_o work_n towards_o the_o effect_n have_v other_o efficient_n under_o it_o which_o work_n likewise_o towards_o the_o same_o effect_n but_o depend_v upon_o it_o the_o principal_a

in_o his_o work_n by_o a_o principle_n within_o himself_o it_o be_v true_a in_o a_o sense_n the_o carpenter_n may_v be_v say_v to_o depend_v upon_o his_o instrument_n in_o work_v viz._n as_o be_v
