A34979	Christ alone exalted in Dr. Crisp's sermons partly confirmed in answering Mr. Daniel Williams's preface to his Gospel truth stated, by alledging testimonies from Scripture and the doctrine of the Church of England, in the Book of homilies establish'd by law and other orthodox authorities : shewing how he hath wronged as well the truth as the said doctor in the great point of justification by the Neonomian doctrine / humbly offer'd by S.C., an unworthy son of the said doctor, author of a book entituled, Christ made sin, reflected on by Mr. Williams.

the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n then_o he_o quote_v the_o protestant_a doctrine_n thus_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n

the_o gospel_n ordination_n of_o god_n regard_v our_o holiness_n but_o by_o pardon_v their_o sin_n and_o by_o account_v and_o accept_v their_o person_n as_o righteous_a not_o for_o any_o thing_n wrought_v in_o they_o or_o do_v by_o they_o but_o for_o christ_n sake_n alone_o impute_v the_o obedience_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n to_o they_o they_o receive_v and_o rest_v on_o he_o and_o his_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o opposite_a than_o this_o account_n of_o protestant_a faith_n where_o be_v not_o a_o word_n of_o our_o holiness_n to_o
