they_o can_v be_v communicate_v otherwise_o than_o by_o imputation_n whereby_o god_n accept_v they_o in_o our_o behalf_n as_o if_o we_o have_v in_o our_o own_o person_n perform_v they_o for_o ourselves_o again_o these_o four_o assertion_n i_o hold_v for_o undoubted_a truth_n first_o that_o what_o christ_n our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n do_v or_o suffer_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n he_o do_v and_o suffer_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o second_o that_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o that_o believe_v that_o the_o lord_n accept_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o that_o believe_v three_o that_o what_o he_o accept_v in_o our_o behalf_n that_o he_o impute_v unto_o we_o for_o by_o imputation_n we_o mean_v nothing_o else_o four_a to_o say_v that_o what_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o god_n do_v not_o accept_v in_o our_o behalf_n be_v both_o blasphemous_a against_o christ_n the_o wisdom_n of_o his_o father_n as_o if_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v those_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v in_o vain_a and_o also_o pernicious_a unto_o we_o for_o if_o christ_n do_n and_o suffering_n for_o we_o be_v in_o vain_a as_o they_o be_v if_o they_o be_v not_o impute_v to_o we_o then_o be_v our_o faith_n vain_a and_o we_o remain_v in_o our_o sin_n and_o in_o the_o woeful_a state_n of_o damnation_n §_o fourteen_o but_o some_o will_v say_v it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o believe_v that_o by_o the_o object_n merit_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n we_o shall_v be_v save_v by_o he_o answ._n yea_o but_o god_n forgive_v no_o sin_n for_o which_o his_o justice_n be_v not_o full_o satisfy_v for_o as_o he_o be_v merciful_a so_o he_o be_v just_a in_o forgive_a our_o sin_n but_o no_o such_o satisfaction_n can_v be_v imagine_v but_o that_o of_o christ._n for_o we_o ourselves_o be_v not_o able_a to_o satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n but_o by_o eternal_a

but_o by_o imputation_n and_o that_o the_o very_a papist_n themselves_o be_v at_o length_n force_v to_o confess_v and_o where_o they_o say_v that_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n they_o shall_v be_v save_v i_o confess_v it_o be_v true_a because_o with_o god_n remission_n of_o sin_n there_o do_v always_o concur_v imputation_n of_o righteousness_n but_o the_o bare_a remission_n of_o sin_n without_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n which_o only_o free_v a_o man_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o damnation_n do_v not_o entitle_v he_o or_o give_v he_o right_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o have_v by_o faith_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o another_o to_o have_v by_o faith_n inheritance_n among_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v act._n 26._o 18._o

if_o it_o be_v not_o communicate_v unto_o we_o and_o make_v we_o for_o ourselves_o how_o can_v it_o be_v make_v we_o but_o by_o imputation_n wherefore_o no_o imputation_n of_o christ_n obedience_n
