that_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o a_o sinner_n for_o god_n be_v the_o god_n that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a rom._n chapt_n 4._o neither_o be_v the_o faith_n which_o be_v give_v he_o contrary_a unto_o this_o for_o as_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o place_n to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v in_o god_n who_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o

seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n now_o in_o the_o work_n of_o justification_n itself_o we_o say_v that_o he_o make_v they_o righteous_a by_o the_o which_o we_o understand_v not_o any_o change_n of_o their_o nature_n but_o of_o their_o condition_n and_o estate_n in_o god_n sight_n only_o be_v in_o themselves_o and_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n the_o same_o that_o they_o be_v before_o that_o be_v sinner_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o justification_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o work_n of_o our_o calling_n go_v before_o it_o in_o the_o which_o not_o only_o the_o estate_n and_o condition_n but_o also_o the_o very_a inward_a disposition_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o quality_n of_o our_o mind_n be_v change_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n from_o

justification_n in_o the_o which_o sanctification_n not_o so_o proper_o the_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o our_o person_n as_o the_o quality_n and_o constitution_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v change_v second_o we_o say_v that_o god_n make_v we_o righteous_a in_o christ_n because_o the_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v be_v neither_o we_o nor_o in_o we_o but_o in_o christ_n alone_o by_o who_o only_a obedience_n many_o be_v make_v righteous_a three_o we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n crucify_v and_o make_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a and_o that_o for_o two_o respect_n first_o because_o christ_n be_v make_v righteousness_n by_o god_n not_o to_o any_o but_o to_o those_o for_o who_o first_o god_n make_v he_o sin_n in_o deliver_v he_o to_o the_o death_n for_o they_o in_o which_o action_n he_o be_v special_o make_v our_o righteousness_n for_o god_n have_v ordain_v he_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n in_o his_o blood_n second_o because_o that_o the_o thing_n wherein_o faith_n do_v apprehend_v christ_n as_o righteousness_n be_v special_o his_o death_n &_o suffer_v which_o the_o believe_a heart_n do_v apprehend_v as_o do_v and_o perform_v for_o it_o in_o particular_a three_o the_o way_n how_o he_o make_v we_o righteous_a we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v by_o imputation_n both_o of_o christ_n obedience_n unto_o we_o as_o our_o own_o obedience_n or_o righteousness_n indeed_o before_o god_n and_o of_o faith_n to_o this_o end_n that_o it_o may_v be_v we_o see_v we_o possess_v it_o no_o otherwise_o but_o by_o faith_n last_o we_o say_v that_o by_o this_o imputation_n we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n because_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n impute_v unto_o we_o which_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o our_o iniquity_n be_v a_o full_a and_o perfect_a satisfaction_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o our_o iniquity_n thus_o we_o have_v so_o plain_o and_o sensible_o as_o we_o can_v open_v up_o that_o part_n of_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n touch_v the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n follow_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o simple_a truth_n set_v down_o in_o god_n word_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o light_n which_o it_o have_v please_v the_o lord_n to_o impart_v unto_o i_o who_o we_o hearty_o beseech_v to_o bless_v all_o our_o labour_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n and_o
