there_o be_v in_o christ_n a_o twofold_a righteousness_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o his_o nature_n the_o one_o be_v uncreated_a and_o infinite_a which_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o

here_o intend_v or_o speak_v of_o by_o the_o apostle_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o two_o reason_n first_o this_o righteousness_n be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o incommunicable_a and_o if_o it_o can_v be_v communicate_v yet_o the_o finite_a creature_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o consider_v that_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a can_v neither_o be_v part_n nor_o accident_n of_o that_o which_o be_v

second_o god_n alone_o accept_v it_o for_o &_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o sinner_n thereby_o give_v he_o absolution_n from_o guilt_n and_o title_n and_o interest_n unto_o life_n three_o in_o

of_o the_o church_n three_o this_o righteousness_n become_v we_o after_o this_o manner_n sin_n be_v that_o which_o make_v a_o man_n unrighteous_a and_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n
