of_o a_o person_n who_o in_o himself_o be_v altogether_o just_a and_o never_o be_v obnoxious_a thus_o have_v i_o reply_v to_o the_o whole_a of_o what_o mr._n ferguson_n have_v say_v in_o his_o second_o chapter_n concern_v a_o sinner_n justification_n and_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n unto_o he_o but_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o reply_v to_o any_o other_o passage_n in_o his_o book_n which_o concern_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n i_o will_v answer_v a_o question_n that_o will_v come_v in_o fit_o to_o be_v propose_v by_o occasion_n of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v upon_o this_o last_o namely_o that_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v by_o a_o law_n chap._n fourteen_o q._n how_o be_v the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o be_v denominate_v whether_o evangelical_n or_o legal_a answ_n rather_o evangelical_n and_o the_o reason_n assign_v the_o argument_n of_o those_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n both_o answer_v and_o retort_v who_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v evangelical_n ex_fw-la parte_fw-la principii_fw-la but_o will_v not_o have_v it_o absolute_o to_o be_v so_o style_v but_o rather_o a_o legal_a justification_n the_o reason_n why_o this_o question_n be_v debate_v and_o answer_v q._n how_o be_v the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o be_v denominate_v whether_o evangelical_n or_o rather_o legal_a answ_n i_o propose_v this_o question_n not_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o mr._n ferguson_n but_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o other_o brethren_n who_o may_v need_v a_o due_a information_n therein_o and_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o that_o law_n by_o which_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v be_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n of_o grace_n or_o of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v denominate_v not_o a_o legal_a but_o a_o evangelical_n justification_n herein_o by_o not_o legal_a i_o must_v not_o in_o reason_n be_v understand_v to_o mean_v not_o in_o any_o sense_n so_o or_o by_o no_o law_n at_o all_o but_o not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n or_o as_o the_o word_n legal_a be_v oppose_v to_o or_o contradistinguish_v from_o the_o word_n evangelical_n and_o there_o can_v be_v as_o i_o think_v a_o more_o convince_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o evangelical_n in_o the_o case_n or_o question_n in_o hand_n be_v the_o fit_a name_n than_o by_o allege_v that_o justify_v the_o law_n of_o work_n be_v not_o the_o law_n by_o which_o but_o a_o law_n from_o which_o i._n e._n by_o a_o appeal_n from_o which_o to_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n a_o sinner_n be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v which_o will_v be_v grant_v by_o all_o viz._n that_o the_o law_n by_o which_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v be_v a_o evangelical_n law_n the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o law_n by_o which_o a_o man_n be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v justify_v be_v twofold_a 1._o the_o law_n of_o god_n creator_n common_o style_v lex_fw-la originalis_fw-la or_o law_n of_o work_n 2._o the_o law_n of_o god_n redeemer_n call_v lex_n remedian_n or_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n or_o faith_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o former_a law_n be_v enact_v as_o the_o rule_n of_o justify_v a_o innocent_a person_n and_o the_o latter_a of_o a_o sinner_n how_o can_v we_o better_o express_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o innocent_a and_o a_o sinner_n than_o by_o style_v the_o former_a a_o legal_a and_o the_o latter_a a_o evangelical_n justification_n the_o peculiar_a species_n of_o the_o law_n by_o which_o a_o person_n be_v justify_v be_v that_o which_o do_v specificate_n the_o justification_n itself_o and_o be_v therefore_o most_o apt_a and_o fit_a to_o give_v it_o its_o peculiar_a denomination_n i_o desire_v that_o the_o answer_n here_o give_v may_v the_o rather_o be_v due_o weigh_v and_o observe_v because_o it_o may_v serve_v to_o rectify_v the_o mistake_n of_o a_o certain_a learned_a author_n perhaps_o also_o of_o some_o other_o brethren_n who_o albeit_o he_o do_v allow_v a_o sinner_n justification_n to_o be_v evangelical_n ex_fw-la parte_fw-la principii_fw-la evangelical_n grace_n in_o christ_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o it_o and_o so_o to_o be_v call_v with_o a_o respect_n thereunto_o nevertheless_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v it_o roundly_o and_o absolute_o to_o be_v denominate_v evangelical_n but_o rather_o legal_a for_o these_o two_o reason_n because_o it_o be_v legal_a ex_fw-la parte_fw-la termini_fw-la &_o medii_fw-la 1._o exit_fw-la parte_fw-la termini_fw-la because_o it_o be_v minate_v in_o the_o

the_o satisfaction_n to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o law_n upon_o which_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v by_o he_o say_v to_o be_v terminate_v i_o do_v not_o know_v nor_o will_v i_o take_v upon_o i_o so_o much_o as_o to_o guess_v lest_o i_o shall_v mistake_v his_o meaning_n only_o i_o will_v say_v as_o follow_v 1._o that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n rom._n 8.2_o be_v mean_v the_o evangelical_n law_n the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n or_o law_n of_o faith_n 2._o that_o justification_n be_v one_o part_n at_o least_o of_o that_o save_a benefit_n which_o the_o apostle_n comprise_v under_o the_o expression_n of_o his_o be_v by_o that_o law_n make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n it_o be_v as_o well_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n which_o by_o that_o law_n he_o be_v make_v free_a from_o 3._o consequent_o i_o say_v that_o that_o scripture_n prove_v not_o the_o author_n purpose_n but_o the_o direct_a contrary_n viz._n that_o because_o it_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o be_v make_v free_a or_o justify_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n therefore_o our_o justification_n be_v to_o be_v call_v evangelical_n and_o not_o legal_a 2._o respeciu_fw-la medii_fw-la in_fw-la respeci_fw-la of_o the_o mean_n say_v he_o which_o be_v the_o legal_a righteousness_n of_o chrifr_n by_o or_o through_o faith_n impute_v to_o we_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o as_o in_o some_o respect_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v style_v justitia_fw-la legalis_fw-la the_o law_n of_o his_o mediatorship_n require_v it_o and_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n thereof_o so_o in_o another_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v fit_o say_v to_o be_v justitia_fw-la pro-legalis_a it_o be_v to_o we_o instead_o or_o stand_v we_o instead_o of_o a_o perfect_a legal_a righteousness_n so_o also_o in_o another_o respect_n it_o may_v very_o fit_o be_v style_v and_o so_o i_o find_v it_o style_v by_o some_o author_n our_o evangelical_a righteousness_n and_o a_o evangelical_a righteousness_n it_o may_v i_o say_v be_v very_o fit_o style_v 1._o because_o the_o gospel_n be_v it_o and_o it_o alone_o not_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n by_o which_o it_o be_v reveal_v and_o make_v know_v to_o the_o world_n 2._o because_o it_o be_v of_o god_n grace_n to_o appoint_v it_o 3._o to_o accept_v it_o also_o and_o this_o for_o gracious_a or_o gospel-end_n viz._n the_o pardon_n or_o justification_n of_o sinner_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n i_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o the_o justification_n of_o sinner_n be_v to_o be_v denominate_v not_o a_o legal_a as_o the_o author_n contend_v for_o but_o a_o evangelical_a justification_n 2._o as_o for_o his_o say_n that_o this_o

whether_o he_o shall_v believe_v the_o doctor_n or_o his_o own_o eye_n 2._o much_o less_o be_v there_o mention_n of_o reconciliation_n through_o a_o non-imputation_n of_o sin_n as_o distinct_a from_o

though_o it_o be_v say_v in_o jer._n 23.6_o that_o this_o be_v his_o name_n whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n let_v who_o will_v be_v there_o mean_v by_o the_o

linen_n robe_n or_o the_o like_a as_o i_o have_v already_o manifest_v brief_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o in_o the_o say_a vision_n of_o the_o prophet_n there_o be_v a_o representation_n of_o justification_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o sanctification_n as_o distinct_a thing_n but_o not_o as_o the_o doctor_n will_v have_v it_o expound_v of_o reconciliation_n or_o remission_n and_o of_o justification_n through_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n 2._o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v no_o more_o the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o the_o doctor_n say_v than_o be_v our_o justification_n for_o as_o the_o apostle_n somewhere_o say_v we_o have_v redemption_n through_o his_o blood_n even_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o he_o do_v elsewhere_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o blood_n rom._n 5.9_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o this_o doctor_n as_o in_o many_o other_o to_o assign_v our_o reconciliation_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o our_o justification_n to_o several_a distinct_a cause_n the_o former_a to_o christ_n passive_a obedience_n his_o death_n the_o other_o to_o his_o active_a the_o obedience_n of_o his_o life_n impute_v whereas_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o reconciliation_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n be_v the_o self_n same_o thing_n in_o effect_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a 2._o be_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o effect_n although_o they_o be_v express_v by_o divers_a name_n yet_o they_o be_v whole_o to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o whole_a obedience_n of_o christ_n both_o of_o his_o life_n and_o death_n as_o joint_o constitute_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n thereof_o so_o that_o neither_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v more_o say_v to_o be_v the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o christ_n death_n than_o justification_n nor_o justification_n more_o proper_o
