15.6 Hee simply believed GODS word and asked no signe of the LORD and hee did impute that very faith unto Abraham himselfe for righteousnes by which GOD is believed to be propense or ready for our good Hunius also saith The faith by which Abraham believed GOD promising was imputed to him for righteousnes Beza saith Here the busines is concerning that which was imputed to him namely his faith Inius and Tremellius on Gen. 15.6 GOD esteemed or counted him for righteous though wanting righteousnes and reckoned him to be in the state of righteousnes because by firme faith he embraced the promises Paraus Rom. 4.3 Wee understand by the word faith which is said to be imputed for righteousnes Abrahams resting not in himselfe or his owne merits but in the promise and good will of GOD. These testimonies are brought to begge the question for they onely affirme that faith is imputed and by believing men come to be counted righteous but there is not in any one the least intimation that faith is imputed in a proper sense but their owne words in the same places shew That faith by reason of that which it beleeveth and apprehendeth that is Christ with all his merits and benefits is counted for righteousnes which is our true genuine Orthodox exposition of the Apostles words And thus I have answered all whatsoever hee hath said for his interpretation onely his severall falshoods and manifest untruthes in severall phrases and boasting wordes prefixed before the testimonies of every Author whom he nameth I leave to the Reader to observe For indeed they are most palpable that every man of understanding may run and reade them But because I will not have such a forger and false suborner of witnesses escape away without the iust brands of forgery and notorious impudency I will bring in the best learned of the Ancients and also of late Orthodox Divines even those whom hee calls to witnesse for him and will make them speake in their owne wordes and testifie to all the world that by faith imputed for righteousnesse they understand not faith by it selfe in a proper sense but the satisfaction and righteousnesse of Iesus Christ GOD and man performed according to the Law in our nature and in our behalfe that through him the righteousnesse of the Law might be fulfilled in us who beleeve in him and are lead by his spirit First Iustin Martyr testifieth that we being in our selves transgressors and ungodly cannot possibly bee iustified but in the onely sonne of GOD now if onely by being in him and by that union and communion which all have with him who are in him then onely by his righteousnesse For as the same Author saith in the same place It is his righteousnes and nothing else which can cover our sinne Iustin Martyr in Epist ad Diognetum and in exposit● fidei hee saith that Christ as well by his exact conversation of life that is his perfect righteousnes as by his undeserved death hath abolished and covered our falls and failing which came in by Adam Irenaeus is so strict for our communion with Christ in his obedience unto death and for our reconciliation and iustification therby that he imputes Christs obedience to us and saith Jn secundo Adamo reconciliati sumus obedientes usque ad mortem facti In the second Adam wee are reconciled being made obedient even unto death lib. 4. c. 14. adversus haereses Athanasius in his 2 Tom. pag. 270. of Cornelius edition saith that it is most necessary for us to beleeve the Scriptures that Christ who hath freed us from the curse is the first fruites of the masse of mankind who are by him redeemed and that the perfect fulfilling of the law by him the first fruites is imputed to the whole masse his wordes in greeke are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And in his booke de incarnat verbi hee affirmes that we shall live and bee saved because wee are partakers of the righteousnes without spot which Christ GOD in the flesh brought into the world Gregory Nyssen Orat. 2. in Cantica saith Christ having the filth or guilt of my sins transferred upon himselfe hath communicated his perfect purity to mee and made mee partaker of that beauty which is in himselfe Ambrose saith as Adam is the patterne of death because of sin so Christ is the patterne of life because of his righteousnesse in cap. 7. Lucae lib. 5. And our iustification by faith and not by workes he saith was prefigured by Jacobs getting of the blessing in sweet smelling garments Iacob was a type of every true beleever under the Gospell Rebecca of the Church The garments of the first borne Christs righteousnesse The Iewes of the elder testament like Esau sought righteousnesse by their owne workes and true beleevers put on the righteousnes of Christ by faith being so taught by the Church their mother and obtaine by the merit of it the blessing Ambrose lib. 2. c. 2 de Iacob vita beata CHrysostome saith If a Iew aske thee how can all the world be saved by the righteous doings of one Christ thou mayest answer him even as all the world is condemned by one Adams disobedience on Rom. 5. homil 10. And in his booke de recta fide It is absurd saith he to thinke that wee should bee made heires of the punishment of the first Adam by his disobedience and should not bee partakers of the righteousnesse of the second Adam who doth bring us to life by his most perfect obedience Theodoret Serm. 10. de curand Graec. affect saith It is very convenient that he who highly praised righteousnesse should in his comming in the flesh fulfill righteousnesse for men Augustine Enchirid. ad Laurent c. 41. saith he was made sin that we might be made righteousnes not our owne but GODS righteousnesse not in our selves but in him even as he was sinne not his owne sinne but ours not in himselfe but in us And serm 6. de verb.

Also in serm ad Milites templi he saith Death is made to flee away in the death of Christ and Christs righteousnesse is imputed to us and a little after Hee who hath willingly beene incarnat willingly suffered and willingly crucified will hee keep back his righteousnesse from us and againe one man sinned and all are made guilty and shall the innocency of one Christ bee imputed onely to
