the_o sanction_n of_o the_o law_n may_v and_o do_v pass_v from_o we_o to_o christ_n by_o legal_a imputation_n but_o sin_n itself_o the_o very_a transgression_n itself_o arise_v from_o the_o very_a preceptive_a part_n of_o the_o law_n can_v so_o pass_v from_o we_o to_o christ_n for_o if_o we_o shall_v once_o imagine_v that_o the_o very_a act_n and_o habit_n of_o sin_n with_o the_o odious_a

and_o sinless_a human_a nature_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o can_v dwell_v in_o union_n with_o sin_n second_o this_o supposition_n will_v render_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o cross_n altogether_o unable_a to_o satisfy_v for_o we_o he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v perfect_o pure_a and_o spotless_a 1_o

after_o their_o justification_n sinful_a inclination_n and_o aversation_n a_o law_n of_o sin_n in_o their_o member_n a_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n do_v these_o thing_n pass_v from_o they_o to_o christ_n and_o yet_o do_v they_o still_o inhere_o in_o they_o why_o do_v they_o complain_v and_o groan_v of_o indwelling_a sin_n as_o rom._n 7._o if_o sin_n itself_o be_v so_o transfer_v from_o they_o to_o christ_n sure_o unless_o man_n will_v dare_v to_o say_v the_o same_o act_n and_o habit_n of_o sin_n which_o they_o feel_v in_o themselves_o be_v as_o true_o in_o christ_n as_o in_o themselves_o they_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o say_v that_o by_o god_n lay_v their_o iniquity_n upon_o christ_n he_o become_v as_o complete_o sinful_a as_o they_o be_v and_o if_o they_o shall_v so_o affirm_v that_o
