make_v their_o appearance_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n a_o malefactor_n with_o the_o king_n pardon_n in_o his_o hand_n may_v bold_o look_v his_o judge_n in_o the_o face_n they_o be_v justify_v or_o accept_v with_o god_n the_o error_n of_o which_o imagination_n i_o have_v already_o discover_v and_o shall_v speak_v somewhat_o more_o of_o in_o ch._n 35._o wherein_o i_o will_v manifest_v that_o although_o figurative_o i._n e._n in_o a_o causal_n sense_n christ_n righteousness_n be_v a_o sinner_n righteousness_n before_o god_n nevertheless_o to_o speak_v proper_o a_o sinner_n personal_a righteousness_n which_o consist_v in_o his_o sanctification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v his_o righteousness_n before_o god_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n i_o shall_v assert_v this_o to_o be_v the_o plain_a truth_n of_o scripture_n in_o this_o matter_n even_o as_o in_o effect_n have_v be_v before_o assert_v by_o i_o upon_o occasion_n viz._n that_o believe_v sinner_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n and_o accept_v with_o he_o by_o and_o for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n thereof_o but_o not_o with_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n in_o itself_o impute_v to_o they_o 3._o the_o best_a and_o only_o true_a construction_n that_o i_o can_v possible_o make_v of_o the_o say_v un-scriptural_a phrase_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o the_o saint_n do_v take_v from_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n or_o the_o righteousness_n he_o wrought_v out_o for_o they_o in_o the_o save_a fruit_n or_o effect_n thereof_o in_o which_o sense_n a_o like_a phrase_n be_v use_v and_o be_v before_o upon_o occasion_n instanced_a in_o 2_o joh._n 8._o where_o by_o the_o thing_n which_o believer_n have_v wrought_v be_v not_o mean_v the_o very_a thing_n themselves_o but_o the_o fruit_n or_o reward_v of_o they_o but_o upon_o supposition_n of_o this_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o say_a phrase_n or_o phrase_n i_o must_v say_v 1._o that_o the_o doctor_n and_o his_o adherent_n in_o this_o controversy_n concern_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n will_v not_o own_o or_o content_v themselves_o with_o the_o bare_a truth_n of_o that_o construction_n 2._o be_v the_o say_a construction_n the_o doctor_n be_v true_a meaning_n nevertheless_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o his_o expression_n thereof_o be_v very_o un-scriptural_a and_o upon_o that_o account_n not_o such_o as_o become_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o manner_n of_o those_o divine_a oracle_n to_o say_v that_o believer_n do_v by_o faith_n take_v christ_n righteousness_n in_o the_o save_a fruit_n or_o effect_v of_o it_o but_o that_o the_o bless_a effect_n thereof_o come_v upon_o they_o for_o which_o see_v rom._n 5.18_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o free_a gift_n

barter_n or_o exchange_n as_o seem_v here_o to_o be_v intend_v by_o the_o doctor_n i._n e._n christ_n take_v to_o himself_o not_o only_o the_o punishment_n but_o also_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o exchange_n our_o take_n from_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n itself_o this_o i_o have_v already_o manifest_v so_o that_o although_o the_o doctor_n have_v in_o god_n name_n bless_v such_o a_o barter_n commute_v exchange_v nevertheless_o i_o may_v true_o say_v that_o sinner_n do_v no_o better_a than_o cheat_v themselves_o by_o such_o vain_a imagination_n and_o fanciful_a conceit_n whereupon_o that_o admonition_n of_o the_o apostle_n gal._n 6.7_o be_v in_o this_o case_n to_o be_v mind_v be_v not_o deceive_v god_n be_v not_o mock_v though_o in_o commute_v exchange_v barter_v commodity_n one_o with_o another_o we_o may_v deceive_v and_o be_v deceive_v one_o by_o another_o yea_o although_o in_o the_o barter_n and_o exchange_v here_o speak_v of_o we_o may_v cozen_v and_o deceive_v ourselves_o yet_o god_n and_o christ_n will_v not_o be_v so_o mock_v or_o deceive_v nevertheless_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o give_v and_o receive_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o a_o sinner_n which_o if_o any_o one_o lift_v to_o call_v barter_v may_v well_o and_o warrantable_o be_v style_v a_o bless_a barter_v and_o what_o this_o kind_n of_o barter_v be_v i_o will_v declare_v in_o my_o reply_n to_o another_o passage_n of_o the_o doctor_n be_v by_o and_o by_o to_o be_v recite_v after_o i_o have_v intimate_v one_o thing_n more_o in_o his_o word_n forecited_n wherein_o 4._o i_o observe_v his_o mistake_n in_o say_v that_o by_o the_o say_v barter_v believer_n do_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a of_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 5.21_o for_o 1._o the_o apostle_n by_o those_o expression_n do_v not_o mean_v such_o a_o commutation_n exchange_n or_o barter_v as_o aforesaid_a and_o it_o be_v a_o pervert_n of_o that_o text_n to_o affix_v such_o a_o sense_n thereunto_o as_o the_o doctor_n do_v 2._o it_o be_v not_o true_a to_o say_v that_o believer_n by_o aught_o that_o be_v or_o can_v be_v do_v by_o they_o do_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a of_o that_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v god_n who_o make_v christ_n and_o christ_n who_o make_v himself_o to_o be_v sin_n
