reason_n thus_o the_o righteousness_n whereby_o a_o sinner_n be_v just_a before_o god_n be_v either_o his_o own_o or_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o but_o it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o for_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v say_v we_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o ourselves_o and_o not_o in_o he_o and_o thus_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n expound_v this_o place_n

without_o all_o stain_n and_o defect_n and_o therefore_o can_v possible_o be_v inherent_a in_o we_o wherefore_o we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o this_o righteousness_n be_v not_o resident_a in_o

a_o public_a person_n represent_v all_o the_o elect_n yea_o the_o root_n and_o stock_n of_o the_o elect_n even_o as_o adam_n be_v the_o root_n and_o stock_n of_o all_o mankind_n look_v as_o

as_o in_o the_o head_n be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o member_n by_o imputation_n and_o as_o the_o land_n and_o good_n of_o one_o man_n be_v make_v over_o unto_o another_o by_o deed_n of_o gift_n sale_n exchange_n or_o some_o like_a conveyance_n of_o law_n both_o for_o title_n and_o use_n even_o so_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o free_a gift_n of_o
