of_o our_o justification_n be_v not_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o body_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o that_o the_o same_o suffering_n must_v be_v wrought_v over_o again_o in_o we_o that_o

within_o they_o and_o that_o what_o he_o suffer_v thus_o within_o every_o man_n be_v the_o only_a meritorious_a cause_n of_o his_o justification_n and_o reconciliation_n to_o god_n that_o what_o he_o suffer_v outward_o upon_o the_o cross_n be_v nothing_o to_o we_o but_o a_o example_n a_o history_n
and_o to_o he_o only_o yet_o but_o the_o very_a page_n before_o p._n 148._o they_o fierce_o oppose_v justification_n by_o the_o rightcousness_n which_o christ_n have_v fulfil_v in_o his_o own_o

suffering_n and_o perfect_a rightcousness_n perform_v in_o his_o own_o person_n whole_o without_o we_o but_o this_o be_v far_o from_o the_o quaker_n meaning_n though_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o

and_o to_o his_o blood_n they_o mean_v the_o blood_n within_o and_o christ_n within_o but_o as_o for_o justification_n by_o the_o outward_a christ_n as_o above_o they_o return_v this_o prodigious_a

of_o the_o sea_n of_o corruption_n which_o do_v now_o deluge_n the_o whole_a world_n this_o be_v within_o less_o than_o the_o compass_n of_o one_o page_n to_o the_o above_o quotation_n and_o but_o two_o page_n before_o this_o they_o deny_v that_o person_n who_o suffer_v that_o be_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v proper_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o in_o this_o quotation_n they_o seem_v to_o call_v his_o only_a son_n and_o this_o be_v not_o contradict_v themselves_o for_o the_o mystery_n lie_v here_o they_o allow_v that_o christ_n take_v flesh_n but_o not_o into_o his_o own_o person_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o flesh_n only_o as_o he_o borrow_v and_o wear_v it_o for_o a_o while_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o person_n which_o suffer_v only_o the_o person_n of_o that_o man_n jesus_n in_o which_o he_o dwell_v the_o person_n they_o deny_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o the_o light_n within_o that_o person_n they_o call_v the_o
