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 end_n or_o use_v of_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n pag._n 12._o of_o mr._n gataker_n defence_n and_o again_o pag._n 21._o that_o it_o be_v heretical_a and_o blasphemous_a to_o say_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v not_o impute_v as_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o justification_n and_o again_o in_o his_o essay_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n second_o when_o he_o say_v that_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v we_o per_fw-la se_fw-la by_o itself_o and_o yet_o be_v say_v proper_o and_o not_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 pag._n 13._o also_o when_o he_o say_v that_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v we_o but_o only_o as_o it_o apprehend_v and_o appli_v christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n pag._n 27._o and_o yet_o deny_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v so_o apprehend_v and_o apply_v by_o faith_n that_o god_n count_v it_o our_o righteousness_n to_o justification_n pag._n 12._o three_o when_o he_o renounce_v the_o law_n of_o god_n perform_v by_o ourselves_o or_o any_o other_o in_o our_o stead_n for_o the_o justify_n of_o we_o before_o god_n pag._n 12._o and_o deny_v that_o we_o be_v punish_v for_o our_o sin_n in_o christ_n our_o head_n and_o surety_n for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o god_n just_a wrath_n pag._n 29._o and_o yet_o pag._n 34._o say_v i_o acknowledge_v and_o profess_v that_o christ_n have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o we_o by_o pay_v a_o true_a price_n to_o god_n his_o father_n be_v not_o this_o the_o same_o tergiversation_n which_o the_o heretic_n socinus_n use_v who_o in_o some_o place_n confess_v in_o the_o scripture_n phrase_n that_o christ_n be_v our_o redeemer_n our_o ransom_n and_o the_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o in_o other_o place_n deny_v christ_n satisfy_v and_o pay_v of_o a_o ransom_n to_o god_n for_o our_o redemption_n and_o justification_n four_o when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o account_v to_o be_v formal_o righteous_a by_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o yet_o say_v that_o we_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n as_o righteous_a for_o christ_n obedience_n no_o less_o than_o if_o we_o have_v indeed_o 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 contradiction_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n rom._n 5._o 19_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o many_o shall_v be_v make_v righteous_a that_o be_v constitute_v and_o make_v formal_o righteous_a for_o so_o the_o greek_a word_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o do_v signify_v 8._o quest_n whether_o mr._n wotton_n can_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n by_o mr._n 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 imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n which_o he_o first_o simple_o reject_v as_o be_v of_o no_o use_n and_o afterwards_o as_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n see_v he_o the_o say_a mr._n gataker_n have_v public_o extol_v and_o commend_v for_o orthodox_a the_o like_a treatise_n of_o mr._n william_n bradshaw_n wherein_o he_o make_v imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n the_o form_n of_o justification_n and_o inveigh_v against_o some_o mean_v i_o who_o have_v oppose_v some_o error_n and_o contradiction_n which_o be_v in_o that_o book_n in_o his_o funeral_n sermon_n preach_v at_o mr._n bradshaw_n burial_n 9_o quest_n whether_o the_o faithful_a being_n by_o one_o spirit_n unite_v to_o christ_n and_o make_v one_o spiritual_a body_n and_o partaker_n of_o his_o righteousness_n and_o whole_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o thereby_o constitute_v righteous_a before_o god_n can_v without_o heretical_a perverseness_n be_v deny_v again_o and_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 head_n to_o every_o member_n of_o the_o body_n 10._o quest_n whether_o mr._n wotton_n may_v not_o just_o be_v judge_v to_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o socinian_n blindness_n and_o giddiness_n when_o he_o deride_v orthodox_a divine_n for_o make_v every_o believer_n justify_v by_o imputation_n of_o christ_n satisfactory_a obedience_n a_o redeemer_n and_o saviour_n and_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 pamphlet_n though_o they_o do_v not_o hold_v that_o god_n impute_v of_o christ_n obedience_n and_o satisfaction_n be_v a_o account_n of_o it_o to_o be_v perform_v by_o they_o in_o their_o own_o person_n or_o impute_v as_o a_o meritorious_a efficient_a cause_n but_o only_o his_o account_v it_o they_o by_o communion_n from_o christ_n the_o head_n to_o every_o member_n so_o far_o as_o to_o 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 count_v we_o as_o a_o meritorious_a efficient_a cause_n then_o be_v we_o all_o count_v justifyer_n who_o do_v justify_v the_o elect_a and_o merit_v their_o justification_n i_o can_v propound_v divers_a other_o question_n but_o when_o mr._n gataker_n see_v himself_o serious_o to_o answer_v these_o i_o hope_v he_o shall_v perceive_v if_o he_o have_v ever_o a_o eye_n leave_v to_o see_v that_o his_o defence_n of_o mr._n wotton_n be_v worse_a than_o stand_v at_o his_o back_n till_o his_o head_n be_v break_v even_o a_o break_n of_o his_o head_n and_o a_o defame_n of_o he_o by_o go_v about_o to_o defame_v i_o unjust_o in_o this_o pretend_a defence_n the_o issue_n whereof_o be_v that_o by_o publish_v in_o print_n those_o damnable_a heretical_a speech_n which_o i_o in_o private_a object_v against_o mr._n wotton_n out_o of_o his_o own_o writing_n not_o one_o word_n whereof_o he_o can_v deny_v he_o have_v make_v mr._n wotton_n name_n to_o stink_n like_o the_o issue_n of_o a_o run_a

error_n out_o of_o his_o grave_n as_o some_o godly_a divine_n have_v say_v upon_o the_o read_n of_o his_o defence_n for_o what_o true_a christian_n when_o he_o read_v those_o desperate_a speech_n which_o i_o object_v in_o my_o parallel_n now_o print_v by_o mr._n gataker_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v no_o end_n or_o use_v whatsoever_o of_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n obedience_n active_a
