every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o place_n state_n and_o condition_n wherein_o he_o be_v and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v be_v good_a and_o just_a in_o his_o office_n and_o unreprovable_a also_o and_o

else_o die_v the_o benefit_n of_o another_o to_o be_v either_o make_v righteous_a or_o bear_v just_a q._n who_o be_v just_a by_o nature_n in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o a._n none_o but_o god_n only_o as_o christ_n say_v none_o be_v good_a but_o god_n only_o q._n who_o be_v make_v just_a by_o nature_n a._n that_o be_v adam_n in_o the_o beginning_n because_o he_o be_v 〈◊〉_d just_a and_o in_o 〈◊〉_d whole_a nature_n be_v righteous_a and_o good_a q._n who_o do_v you_o call_v just_a by_o grace_n a._n all_o the_o elect_a which_o be_v redeem_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o two_o way_n 1._o because_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v unto_o they_o and_o so_o by_o grace_n and_o favour_n in_o christ_n their_o head_n they_o be_v just_a before_o god_n 2._o because_o of_o grace_n and_o favour_n they_o be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o who_o inherent_a righteousness_n and_o holiness_n they_o be_v make_v holy_a and_o just_a and_o whatsoever_o they_o do_v by_o it_o be_v accept_v as_o just_a for_o christ_n sake_n q._n who_o do_v you_o call_v just_a and_o righteous_a by_o yield_v willing_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o god_n and_o his_o law_n a._n no_o man_n in_o this_o world_n after_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n as_o he_o be_v man_n ever_o be_v or_o can_v be_v just_a after_o that_o manner_n how_o the_o elect_a and_o christ_n be_v just_a q._n why_o then_o be_v so_o many_o call_v just_a in_o the_o scripture_n as_o david_n job_n zacharie_n elizabeth_n &c_n &c_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v they_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v just_a man_n a._n they_o may_v be_v call_v just_a and_o righteous_a four_o way_n 1_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o will_n and_o endeavour_n because_o their_o study_n and_o endeavour_n be_v to_o be_v righteous_a 2_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o wicked_a by_o way_n of_o comparison_n 12.3.45_o 3_o in_o the_o sight_n and_o judgement_n of_o man_n because_o the_o world_n can_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o unjust_a deal_n as_o be_v samuel_n 4_o they_o be_v call_v just_a because_o they_o be_v account_v just_a and_o their_o imperfect_a obedience_n as_o also_o of_o all_o the_o elect_a be_v accept_v with_o god_n for_o most_o perfect_a righteousness_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n q._n what_o say_v you_o of_o christ_n how_o be_v he_o just_a a._n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v most_o perfect_o just_a and_o righteous_a every_o manner_n of_o way_n 1_o as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o be_v in_o his_o own_o essence_n of_o himself_o and_o by_o himself_o most_o just_a even_o as_o the_o father_n be_v and_o eternal_a righteousness_n itself_o 2_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o be_v just_a by_o nature_n because_o he_o be_v conceive_v without_o sin_n and_o so_o be_v bear_v just_a and_o righteous_a 3_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o union_n with_o his_o divine_a nature_n which_o be_v eternal_a righteousness_n itself_o he_o be_v most_o just_a 4_o by_o receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n without_o measure_n 7._o he_o be_v most_o just_a last_o he_o do_v most_o perfect_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o most_o absolute_o do_v keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n therefore_o that_o way_n also_o he_o be_v most_o just_a and_o righteous_a q._n what_o conclude_v you_o upon_o all_o this_o a._n i_o conclude_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n only_o be_v in_o his_o own_o essence_n and_o nature_n by_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o eternal_a justice_n and_o righteousness_n therefore_o this_o attribute_n of_o justice_n or_o righteousness_n do_v most_o proper_o agree_v to_o god_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v fourefolde_v q._n well_o you_o have_v show_v how_o many_o thing_n justice_n be_v put_v for_o as_o also_o how_o many_o way_n our_o way_n be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a now_o declare_v how_o many_o sort_n god_n justice_n be_v or_o how_o many_o way_n he_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a h._n although_o indeed_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v but_o one_o and_o his_o very_a essence_n yet_o in_o diverse_a respect_n it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v fourfold_a or_o it_o may_v be_v ●oure_a way_n consider_v q_o which_o be_v the_o first_o way_n that_o god_n be_v just_a and_o righteous_a a._n first_o as_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o thing_n have_v most_o free_a authority_n and_o not_o bind_v to_o any_o he_o woork_v some_o thing_n and_o those_o thing_n be_v most_o just_a and_o righteous_a q._n what_o thing_n be_v those_o a._n they_o be_v these_o and_o such_o like_a 1_o he_o decree_v from_o all_o eternity_n to_o create_v all_o thing_n 2_o of_o his_o own_o free_a will_n and_o according_a to_o his_o eternal_a purpose_n he_o suffer_v all_o man_n to_o fall_v into_o sin_n and_o death_n 3._o he_o decree_v eternal_o to_o choose_v some_o of_o they_o to_o eternal_a life_n and_o in_o his_o time_n appoint_v to_o free_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n and_o death_n eternal_a by_o jesus_n christ._n 4_o he_o determine_v to_o cast_v the_o rest_n into_o everlasting_a torment_n and_o that_o most_o just_o because_o his_o will_n can_v be_v unjust_a and_o god_n himself_o be_v justice_n and_o

use_n of_o the_o law_n after_o we_o be_v drive_v unto_o chest_n a._n yea_o for_o when_o we_o see_v what_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o sin_n he_o have_v cure_v in_o we_o from_o what_o infinite_a

for_o so_o great_a benefit_n question_n how_o must_v we_o show_v ourselves_o thankful_a for_o his_o death_n answer_n we_o must_v decree_v to_o walk_v in_o dutiful_a obedience_n to_o his_o will_n and_o the_o law_n will_v stand_v we_o in_o good_a stead_n to_o quicken_v we_o thereunto_o q._n how_o can_v that_o be_v a._n when_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n we_o see_v the_o number_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v of_o we_o and_o how_o backward_o we_o be_v in_o do_v of_o they_o it_o will_v make_v we_o to_o be_v more_o painful_a and_o careful_a in_o the_o same_o q_o be_v there_o any_o more_o use_n of_o the_o law_n after_o we_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n a._n yea_o the_o knowledge_n and_o meditation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n will_v help_v we_o forward_o to_o true_a christianity_n q._n show_v i_o how_o a._n it_o will_v teach_v we_o not_o only_o what_o to_o do_v but_o how_o to_o do_v it_o in_o all_o our_o deal_n between_o god_n &_o our_o neighbour_n q._n why_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o mean_v well_o in_o serve_v god_n or_o to_o serve_v god_n by_o our_o good_a intent_n &_o good_a meaning_n a._n no_o but_o we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o approve_v our_o do_n by_o the_o

judgement_n show_v upon_o some_o that_o presume_v to_o serve_v god_n otherwise_o then_o they_o be_v command_v by_o his_o word_n q._n by_o what_o testimony_n can_v you_o prove_v it_o a._n by_o two_o

have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o the_o multitude_n of_o your_o sacrifice_n who_o require_v these_o thing_n at_o your_o hand_n q._n how_o do_v this_o prove_v that_o god_n will_v not_o be_v serve_v with_o our_o good_a intent_n and_o good_a meaning_n except_v they_o be_v direct_v by_o his_o law_n and_o commandment_n a._n very_o well_o for_o if_o god_n can_v not_o abide_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o
