mr._n wotton_n affirm_v that_o if_o we_o be_v free_o pardon_v than_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o punish_v in_o christ_n our_o head_n and_o surety_n do_v not_o deny_v christ_n satisfaction_n for_o sin_n 7._o quest_n whether_o mr._n wotton_n be_v not_o guilty_a of_o heretical_a tergiversation_n and_o gross_a contradiction_n in_o these_o passage_n first_o when_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o

tropical_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n pag._n 27._o of_o the_o defence_n and_o be_v the_o only_a condition_n which_o god_n require_v on_o our_o part_n for_o justification_n

perform_v those_o thing_n pag._n 32._o and_o pag._n 26._o for_o aught_o i_o hold_v of_o faith_n christ_n righteousness_n may_v be_v even_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o pag._n 22._o he_o confess_v that_o he_o deny_v christ_n righteousness_n to_o be_v impute_v as_o the_o formal_a cause_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v formal_o righteous_a which_o be_v a_o flat_a

gataker_n be_v justify_v and_o proclaim_v free_a from_o heresy_n when_o he_o will_v full_o and_o perverse_o deny_v the_o very_a form_n essence_n and_o be_v of_o justification_n to_o wit_n the_o

again_o to_o be_v formal_o that_o be_v true_o and_o real_o righteous_a by_o that_o righteousness_n though_o not_o inherent_a in_o every_o believer_n but_o only_o spiritual_o communicate_v from_o the_o

satisfyer_n for_o all_o the_o elect_a and_o faithful_a for_o thus_o he_o argue_v if_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o satisfaction_n be_v impute_v to_o every_o believer_n then_o must_v every_o believer_n be_v count_v a_o redeemer_n justifyer_n and_o satisfyer_n for_o all_o the_o elect_a but_o this_o be_v absurd_a ergo_fw-la the_o antecedent_n be_v false_a in_o one_o of_o his_o write_a

make_v he_o formal_o righteous_a and_o yet_o he_o himself_o contradict_v his_o former_a absolute_a denial_n of_o imputation_n pag._n 12._o do_v hold_v imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n as_o a_o meritorious_a and_o efficient_a cause_n of_o justification_n pag._n 21._o which_o be_v a_o manifest_a fall_n into_o that_o absurdity_n which_o he_o will_v pin_v upon_o other_o for_o if_o it_o be_v
