righteousness_n and_o do_v make_v our_o justify_n righteousness_n to_o consist_v in_o a_o gracious_a act_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o sinner_n in_o cover_v and_o not_o impute_v his_o sin_n and_o not_o in_o any_o work_n of_o his_o own_o either_o of_o nature_n or_o of_o grace_n rom._n 4.7_o 8._o 2._o that_o christ_n make_v a_o compact_a with_o the_o father_n for_o we_o in_o a_o distinct_a covenant_n by_o himself_o and_o be_v not_o ever_o himself_o a_o party_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o be_v not_o as_o a_o surety_n bind_v in_o the_o same_o bond_n with_o man_n but_o as_o a_o surety_n give_v a_o bond_n of_o his_o own_o to_o obey_v the_o law_n and_o suffer_v death_n for_o we_o and_o to_o pay_v our_o debt_n owe_v to_o the_o law_n or_o justice_n of_o god_n whereas_o other_o say_v this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n and_o say_v that_o christ_n come_v under_o the_o same_o law_n that_o man_n be_v under_o gal._n 4.4_o and_o thereby_o become_v oblige_v to_o give_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o to_o suffer_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n for_o those_o that_o have_v break_v the_o law_n be_v in_o the_o same_o bond_n with_o they_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v gal._n 3.16_o that_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n which_o seed_n he_o say_v be_v christ_n and_o the_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o david_n be_v make_v with_o he_o as_o a_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o with_o his_o seed_n psal_n 18.50_o so_o that_o god_n say_v of_o this_o seed_n psal_n 89.33_o if_o his_o child_n break_v my_o law_n i_o will_v visit_v their_o iniquity_n with_o stripe_n but_o my_o lovingkindness_n i_o will_v not_o take_v from_o he_o that_o be_v christ_n nor_o break_v my_o covenant_n with_o he_o as_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o new_a verse_n and_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n itself_o make_v before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n christ_n stand_v not_o alone_o in_o that_o neither_o for_o then_o all_o the_o elect_a be_v choose_v

the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n be_v only_o pleadable_a by_o christ_n himself_o for_o though_o part_n of_o that_o covenant_n respect_v himself_o only_o that_o he_o shall_v come_v into_o our_o nature_n and_o suffer_v etc._n etc._n yet_o then_o he_o undertake_v for_o all_o that_o god_n give_v he_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o glory_n 3._o further_o they_o say_v that_o god_n look_v upon_o christ_n obedience_n as_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n only_o why_o he_o shall_v make_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o man_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n and_o suffer_v death_n for_o our_o sin_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n but_o only_o from_o the_o designation_n and_o appointment_n of_o his_o father_n thereunto_o and_o if_o he_o have_v appoint_v he_o to_o perform_v some_o heroic_a act_n of_o obedience_n in_o any_o other_o nature_n or_o of_o another_o kind_n it_o may_v have_v be_v as_o available_a for_o our_o redemption_n and_o as_o meritorious_a for_o we_o as_o what_o he_o do_v perform_v but_o other_o look_v upon_o this_o as_o a_o great_a error_n and_o say_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n do_v necessary_o require_v that_o christ_n shall_v not_o only_o merit_v for_o we_o but_o make_v satisfaction_n which_o they_o do_v consider_v and_o shall_v satisfy_v justice_n in_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o sin_v and_o perform_v obedience_n to_o that_o law_n which_o man_n have_v break_v and_o bear_v the_o curse_n of_o that_o law_n which_o man_n be_v under_o to_o redeem_v he_o from_o it_o for_o it_o seem_v necessary_a that_o god_n shall_v secure_v the_o honour_n of_o his_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o his_o government_n 4._o they_o will_v not_o allow_v christ_n to_o do_v and_o suffer_v what_o he_o do_v as_o a_o public_a person_n represent_v all_o the_o elect_n comprehend_v a_o spiritual_a seed_n in_o himself_o as_o the_o first_o adam_n do_v his_o natural_a seed_n so_o that_o the_o elect_n may_v be_v say_v to_o obey_v suffer_v and_o satisfy_v justice_n in_o he_o though_o they_o yield_v that_o he_o do_v do_v all_o this_o for_o they_o for_o then_o they_o say_v the_o elect_n may_v be_v say_v to_o merit_v in_o he_o as_o christ_n merit_v and_o to_o be_v redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n as_o christ_n be_v and_o to_o perform_v sinless_a obedience_n as_o christ_n do_v but_o other_o judge_v this_o a_o great_a mistake_n for_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n do_v parallel_v the_o two_o adam_n and_o say_v the_o first_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o that_o all_o mankind_n sin_v in_o he_o and_o not_o only_o by_o he_o through_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n derive_v from_o he_o and_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o die_v so_o in_o christ_n be_v all_o make_v alive_a 1_o cor._n 15._o all_o die_v not_o only_o by_o he_o but_o in_o he_o even_o infant_n that_o have_v commit_v no_o actual_a sin_n as_o a_o insolvent_a debtor_n may_v be_v say_v to_o pay_v the_o debt_n in_o the_o surety_n pay_v it_o for_o he_o or_o in_o his_o stead_n or_o if_o a_o friend_n die_v for_o a_o malefactor_n the_o malefactor_n may_v be_v say_v to_o satisfy_v the_o law_n in_o he_o and_o the_o objection_n against_o this_o they_o answer_v they_o thus_o that_o though_o christ_n merit_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v in_o his_o merit_n do_v merit_n in_o he_o for_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o person_n natural_o but_o only_o legal_o as_o the_o client_n and_o the_o advocate_n the_o surety_n and_o the_o debtor_n and_o christ_n merit_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o person_n and_o his_o voluntary_a undertake_n that_o for_o we_o which_o he_o be_v not_o antecedent_o oblige_v unto_o which_o be_v not_o the_o case_n of_o those_o who_o he_o undertake_v for_o a_o surety_n that_o pay_v another_o debt_n may_v merit_v from_o the_o debtor_n but_o the_o debtor_n be_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v in_o that_o merit_n but_o only_o in_o the_o discharge_n that_o he_o receive_v thereby_o so_o if_o a_o believer_n be_v justify_v in_o the_o sinless_a obedience_n of_o christ_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o he_o must_v be_v account_v no_o sinner_n be_v it_o necessary_a that_o a_o debtor_n who_o pay_v his_o debt_n in_o a_o surety_n be_v partaker_n of_o all_o the_o endowment_n and_o qualification_n of_o his_o surety_n or_o be_v judge_v so_o to_o do_v it_o may_v be_v yield_v that_o hereby_o a_o believer_n be_v justify_v in_o a_o more_o excellent_a righteousness_n than_o his_o own_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v perfect_a or_o than_o adam_n have_v in_o innocency_n but_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v account_v in_o all_o respect_n as_o righteous_a as_o christ_n himself_o be_v though_o it_o seem_v necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v justify_v in_o a_o righteousness_n which_o shall_v answer_v to_o the_o infinite_a justice_n of_o god_n offend_v by_o man_n sin_n and_o if_o any_o object_n christ_n fulfil_v not_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n not_o perform_v many_o duty_n require_v of_o we_o as_o of_o a_o husband_n a_o father_n etc._n etc._n answer_v he_o that_o perform_v all_o that_o the_o law_n require_v of_o he_o fulfil_v the_o law_n thus_o christ_n do_v and_o so_o be_v under_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n he_o perform_v all_o require_v of_o he_o by_o that_o law_n and_o be_v also_o in_o the_o gospel-covenant_n he_o do_v all_o require_v of_o he_o there_o he_o do_v not_o indeed_o repent_v because_o not_o require_v of_o he_o not_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v again_o that_o if_o our_o debt_n be_v pay_v in_o christ_n and_o we_o justify_v thus_o in_o he_o what_o need_v any_o thing_n more_o to_o be_v do_v by_o a_o sinner_n for_o his_o discharge_n they_o answer_v to_o this_o that_o though_o the_o elect_a believer_n be_v thus_o virtual_o and_o fundamental_o discharge_v and_o justify_v in_o christ_n obedience_n yet_o god_n have_v appoint_v faith_n to_o be_v the_o mean_a or_o way_n whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v actual_o justify_v god_n have_v so_o provide_v that_o his_o grace_n shall_v be_v dispense_v in_o a_o way_n that_o may_v conduce_v to_o his_o own_o glory_n as_o well_o as_o man_n salvation_n may_v not_o a_o surety_n who_o pay_v the_o money_n to_o discharge_v the_o debtor_n require_v something_o from_o he_o to_o do_v whereby_o he_o may_v be_v make_v sensible_a of_o the_o kindness_n he_o
