4._o he_o say_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o that_o verse_n they_o be_v tree_n who_o fruit_n wither_v without_o fruit_n twice_o dead_a pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o

so_o it_o agree_v with_o that_o in_o rom_n 4.5_o he_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a there_o meaning_n be_v when_o we_o be_v without_o strength_n and_o altogether_o ungodly_a one_o chtist_n die_v for_o

and_o that_o which_o follow_v in_o the_o 8.9.10.11_o verse_n will_v justify_v this_o interpretation_n say_v he_o herein_o iâ—_n the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o god_n love_n towards_o we_o in_o that_o while_o we_o be_v sinner_n ungodly_a christ_n die_v for_o we_o that_o be_v we_o be_v in_o ourselves_o before_o god_n justify_v by_o his_o death_n or_o bloodshedding_n for_o so_o it_o be_v say_v in_o

sweet_o depend_v upon_o each_o other_o and_o whereas_o he_o allege_v the_o 15._o verse_n i_o conceive_v it_o do_v right_o and_o excellent_o hold_v forth_o thus_o much_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n be_v much_o more_o and_o have_v abound_v much_o more_o unto_o many_o than_o that_o one_o offence_n of_o that_o

of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n mark_v the_o abundance_n of_o this_o grace_n to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v it_o be_v of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o whereas_o by_o that_o one_o offence_n of_o that_o one_o man_n death_n reign_v by_o one_o much_o more_o they_o which_o receive_v this_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o

one_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o 15.16_o and_o 17._o verse_n and_o whereas_o he_o further_o allege_v verse_n 18_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v life_n and_o justification_n or_o justification_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n for_o all_o person_n for_o so_o he_o say_v in_o page_n 23._o line_n 7._o i_o answer_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n still_o drive_v at_o be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n by_o grace_n which_o be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n have_v much_o more_o abound_v above_o the_o offence_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o for_o say_v he_o as_o by_o that_o one_o offence_n of_o one_o man_n judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o condemnation_n that_o be_v it_o come_v powerful_o upon_o they_o even_o so_o by_o that_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n alone_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n that_o be_v it_o come_v glorious_o and_o powerful_o upon_o they_o unto_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v mind_v how_o weak_o and_o unwarrantable_o he_o allege_v this_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v life_n and_o justification_n in_o christ_n as_o he_o say_v for_o all_o person_n when_o as_o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o word_n speak_v of_o those_o only_a who_o be_v in_o themselves_o before_o god_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n actual_a partaker_n of_o justification_n of_o life_n by_o he_o and_o this_o will_v appear_v from_o two_o reason_n first_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o justification_n of_o life_n here_o mention_v it_o be_v that_o which_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n stand_v in_o

life_n it_o be_v the_o same_o justification_n mention_v in_o chapt._n 3.24.26_o chapt._n 4.5_o and_o in_o the_o 4._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n also_o second_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o application_n of_o this_o justification_n of_o life_n unto_o the_o person_n here_o mention_v in_o verse_n 15._o it_o be_v say_v this_o exceed_a grace_n of_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o and_o in_o verse_n 16_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v unto_o their_o justification_n and_o in_o this_o 18._o ver_fw-la it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n or_o the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n unto_o justification_n of_o life_n and_o in_o verse_n 19_o it_o be_v say_v that_o by_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n many_o shall_v be_v make_v righteous_a and_o that_o which_o be_v chief_o to_o be_v observe_v be_v that_o in_o verse_n seventeen_o where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o this_o justification_n and_o salvation_n here_o mention_v be_v speak_v of_o those_o only_o who_o receive_v this_o abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n those_o who_o receive_v it_o that_o be_v those_o to_o who_o the_o lord_n give_v his_o grace_n and_o righteousness_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o in_o the_o 15.16_o and_o 17._o verse_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v â—_o time_n call_v â—_o gift_n which_o to_o whosoever_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o in_o the_o open_n of_o this_o scripture_n it_o appear_v that_o by_o all_o man_n in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o this_o verse_n we_o can_v neither_o understand_v all_o person_n from_o first_o to_o last_o neither_o can_v his_o distinction_n be_v justify_v from_o hence_o for_o he_o here_o speak_v or_o such_o a_o justification_n of_o life_n as_o come_n upon_o man_n or_o be_v give_v unto_o they_o according_a to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o whereas_o he_o further_o allege_v that_o in_o 2_o cor._n 5.19_o to_o justify_v his_o distinction_n i_o shall_v clear_v that_o in_o its_o due_a place_n from_o such_o a_o sense_n and_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n to_o what_o i_o shall_v there_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o open_n of_o this_o scripture_n and_o whereas_o he_o further_o allege_v the_o first_o of_o john_n 5.10.11.12_o i_o conceive_v that_o this_o scripture_n teach_v we_o thus_o much_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v the_o witness_n in_o himself_o and_o bear_v record_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n that_o eternal_a life_n be_v his_o gift_n through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o this_o life_n be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v obtain_v but_o through_o faith_n in_o christ_n only_o and_o that_o therefore_o whosoever_o seek_v for_o life_n and_o salvation_n by_o his_o own_o work_n or_o righteousness_n or_o in_o any_o other_o thing_n which_o stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o jesus_n christ_n crucify_v and_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a he_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n because_o he_o receive_v or_o believe_v not_o the_o record_n which_o god_n give_v of_o his_o son_n and_o whereas_o he_o think_v to_o strengthen_v his_o distinction_n by_o say_v there_o be_v life_n and_o justification_n in_o christ_n for_o all_o person_n i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o consider_v that_o these_o word_n in_o christ_n when_o they_o be_v speak_v of_o or_o apply_v unto_o redemption_n justification_n

for_o they_o the_o mediator_n also_o this_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o connexion_n of_o these_o word_n with_o the_o former_a there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o for_o whosoever_o christ_n be_v a_o ransom_n he_o be_v for_o they_o a_o mediator_n also_o and_o

whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o if_o by_o all_o man_n in_o this_o place_n we_o understand_v all_o person_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o person_n shall_v certain_o powerful_o and_o

thing_n be_v pass_v away_o and_o god_n have_v now_o wrought_v new_a thing_n he_o have_v give_v his_o own_o son_n to_o die_v that_o be_v new_a and_o in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v

have_v with_o what_o brevity_n and_o plainness_n i_o can_v declare_v the_o time_n of_o which_o the_o holy_a spirit_n here_o speak_v of_o when_o he_o say_v god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n to_o himself_o that_o be_v when_o christ_n suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n when_o he_o die_v personal_o then_o i_o say_v then_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n to_o himself_o hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o by_o the_o world_n in_o this_o scripture_n we_o can_v in_o no_o wise_n understand_v all_o person_n or_o every_o person_n in_o the_o world_n from_o first_o to_o last_o the_o second_o reason_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o word_n from_o that_o corrupt_a sense_n be_v take_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o reconciliation_n which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o this_o reconciliation_n of_o the_o world_n unto_o himself_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n then_o the_o remission_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n through_o faith_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o make_v they_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o say_v in_o this_o place_n that_o cod_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n unto_o himself_o he_o say_v in_o the_o very_a next_o word_n not_o impute_v their_o trespass_n unto_o they_o now_o according_a to_o this_o scripture_n not_o to_o have_v sin_n impute_v it_o be_v to_o be_v true_o bless_v and_o therefore_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n which_o david_n in_o the_o 32._o psalm_n call_v the_o not_o impute_v of_o sin_n paul_n in_o rom._n call-leth_a the_o impute_v of_o righteousness_n through_o faith_n in_o christ._n 23_o rom._n 4.11.22.23.24_o james_n â—â—_o 23_o and_o so_o far_o as_o i_o know_v we_o never_o read_v of_o the_o not_o impute_v of_o sin_n or_o the_o impute_v of_o righteousness_n but_o only_o through_o faith_n in_o christ_n so_o that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v god_n impute_v not_o their_o sin_n to_o they_o we_o understand_v that_o he_o

to_o reconcile_v the_o world_n unto_o god_n and_o this_o power_n of_o his_o death_n have_v run_v along_o ever_o since_o in_o all_o age_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n until_o this_o time_n
