it_o be_v sound_a at_o the_o bottom_n or_o no_o i_o will_v have_v you_o both_o after_o my_o notice_n of_o its_o be_v forsake_v of_o our_o latter_a more_o considerate_a divine_n to_o exercise_v that_o

when_o yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v know_v if_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v impute_v in_o se_fw-la which_o those_o word_n say_v then_o must_v god_n look_v upon_o we_o as_o legal_o righteous_a in_o he_o

that_o considerable_a brother_n and_o you_o too_o for_o i_o think_v both_o more_o worthy_a man_n than_o you_o do_v of_o one_o another_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o that_o i_o believe_v if_o mr._n

be_v scarce_o so_o pertinent_a as_o to_o be_v ask_v but_o see_v it_o be_v like_a to_o prove_v otherwise_o to_o he_o i_o must_v after_o all_o i_o have_v write_v and_o his_o thought_n on_o it_o ask_v the_o question_n what_o be_v the_o form_n or_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n i_o say_v our_o justification_n which_o once_o for_o all_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o do_v denote_v justification_n passive_o take_v as_o it_o must_v be_v take_v and_o be_v by_o papist_n and_o protestant_n in_o their_o dispute_n about_o it_o and_o by_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o dispute_v that_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o work_n that_o abraham_n be_v and_o we_o be_v justify_v if_o one_o say_v here_o justification_n have_v no_o form_n he_o be_v beat_v plain_o off_o the_o stage_n justification_n it_o be_v true_a active_o take_v be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n a_o judicial_a act_n of_o he_o as_o the_o efficient_a by_o the_o gospel_n as_o his_o instrument_n whereby_o he_o constitute_v the_o sound_a believer_n righteous_a and_o thereby_o give_v he_o a_o right_n to_o impunity_n and_o glory_n as_o justification_n then_o take_v thus_o active_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n mr._n williams_n and_o you_o know_v i_o suppose_v that_o ex_fw-la parte_fw-la agentis_fw-la it_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o god_n will_n and_o that_o his_o will_n be_v his_o essence_n and_o that_o god_n act_v only_o by_o his_o essence_n and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o nor_o any_o new_a act_n in_o god_n essence_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o regard_n therefore_o to_o the_o effect_n as_o that_o

there_o must_v be_v as_o well_o as_o other_o whereas_o our_o protestant_n now_o do_v maintain_v against_o the_o papist_n that_o it_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v be_v this_o formal_a cause_n i_o ask_v again_o of_o that_o reverend_a brother_n mr._n williams_n whether_o according_a to_o the_o common_a doctrine_n he_o do_v hold_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n

if_o he_o say_v no_o then_o must_v he_o retract_v that_o say_n as_o the_o good_a saint_n austin_n do_v many_o and_o come_v over_o to_o mr._n baxter_n and_o i_o and_o be_v welcome_a to_o the_o truth_n as_o i_o judgé_fw-fr as_o for_o you_o then_o mr._n report_n i_o must_v ask_v also_o the_o same_o question_n but_o not_o to_o have_v a_o answer_n till_o you_o see_v i_o desire_v it_o whether_o you_o do_v real_o join_v with_o the_o common_a protestant_n in_o this_o point_n as_o to_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n if_o you_o say_v you_o do_v you_o see_v the_o consequence_n take_v they_o all_o draw_v out_o their_o strength_n try_v if_o you_o can_v answer_v they_o one_o and_o a_o elder_a brother_n of_o you_o foremention_v be_v so_o open_o honest_a as_o when_o he_o see_v to_o

williams_n to_o reconcile_v in_o when_o you_o
christ_n person_n in_o our_o room_n in_o suffer_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o punishment_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o understand_v it_o so_o as_o that_o christ_n do_v undergo_v the_o very_a same_o punishment_n as_o due_a to_o we_o by_o the_o law_n and_o consequent_o your_o argument_n fail_v you_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o equivalent_a to_o it_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o idem_fw-la but_o the_o tantundem_fw-la that_o it_o be_v satisfaction_n not_o payment_n that_o which_o grotius_n vindicate_v be_v christ_n satisfaction_n and_o if_o christ_n have_v pay_v the_o very_a debt_n it_o will_v destroy_v satisfaction_n the_o law_n be_v not_o execute_v on_o our_o surety_n nor_o on_o we_o but_o christ_n satisfy_v the_o lawgiver_n not_o the_o law_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v execute_v and_o see_v he_o do_v so_o he_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o that_o god_n shall_v look_v on_o we_o as_o if_o we_o have_v ourselves_o be_v punish_v the_o punishment_n the_o law_n threaten_v be_v on_o the_o person_n that_o sin_v noxa_fw-la caput_fw-la sequitur_fw-la but_o when_o sinless_a christ_n suffer_v as_o that_o be_v not_o the_o person_n so_o that_o be_v not_o the_o

a_o deprivation_n of_o god_n favour_n as_o well_o as_o pain_n but_o christ_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o that_o nor_o of_o etarnal_a wrath._n beside_o it_o be_v not_o this_o law_n that_o can_v lay_v any_o obligation_n of_o suffer_v on_o christ_n that_o be_v not_o obnoxious_a but_o his_o obligation_n arise_v from_o the_o law_n proper_a to_o he_o the_o law_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o his_o voluntary_a undertake_n to_o make_v god_n satisfaction_n it_o be_v not_o ex_fw-la delicto_fw-la but_o ex_fw-la contractu_fw-la as_o you_o know_v our_o divine_n say_v and_o consequent_o it_o be_v a_o obligation_n not_o our_o obligation_n to_o the_o punishment_n he_o take_v on_o he_o if_o the_o very_a debt_n we_o owe_v have_v be_v pay_v by_o we_o or_o our_o surety_n then_o can_v there_o have_v be_v no_o pardon_n punishment_n and_o pardon_n be_v contrary_n if_o a_o man_n be_v punish_v or_o suffer_v the_o law_n in_o himself_o or_o substituto_fw-la he_o be_v not_o pardon_v if_o he_o be_v pardon_v he_o be_v not_o punish_v this_o suffer_v of_o christ_n then_o for_o we_o must_v not_o be_v the_o same_o as_o the_o law_n inflict_v but_o a_o equivalent_a and_o such_o as_o god_n may_v have_v refuse_v to_o take_v which_o make_v it_o satisfaction_n not_o payment_n and_o we_o capable_a of_o pardon_n this_o doctrine_n of_o pardon_n upon_o satisfaction_n be_v the_o sound_a doctrine_n propugn_v by_o grotius_n thus_o much_o then_o for_o your_o doctrine_n now_o for_o mr._n williams_n who_o agree_v so_o much_o with_o i_o our_o doctrine_n be_v this_o that_o christ_n obey_v and_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n admit_v of_o two_o sense_n 1._o so_o in_o our_o stead_n as_o that_o god_n exact_v not_o from_o we_o that_o do_v or_o suffer_v yet_o give_v we_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o 2._o so_o in_o our_o stead_n as_o that_o we_o be_v legal_o repute_v to_o do_v and_o suffer_v what_o christ_n do_v as_o one_o civil_a person_n with_o he_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n that_o christ_n obey_v the_o law_n and_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n we_o all_o agree_v in_o the_o second_o sense_n i_o and_o mr._n williams_n deny_v it_o and_o you_o hold_v it_o here_o then_o may_v you_o argue_v and_o i_o argue_v that_o which_o you_o may_v argue_v be_v if_o according_a to_o we_o christ_n obey_v and_o suffer_v not_o in_o our_o stead_n so_o as_o to_o be_v one_o legal_a person_n with_o we_o then_o can_v what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v be_v legal_o we_o and_o then_o can_v his_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o in_o se_fw-mi but_o in_o the_o effect_n only_o but_o mr._n williams_n say_v beside_o the_o effect_n the_o very_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v to_o believer_n this_o mr._n williams_n must_v answer_v that_o which_o i_o argue_v be_v if_o according_a to_o you_o christ_n do_v obey_v and_o suffer_v in_o our_o stead_n as_o one_o civil_a or_o legal_a person_n with_o we_o then_o as_o we_o have_v his_o righteousness_n to_o justify_v we_o we_o must_v have_v it_o to_o redeem_v we_o he_o that_o be_v make_v of_o god_n our_o righteousness_n be_v make_v our_o redemption_n but_o we_o have_v it_o not_o it_o be_v not_o we_o to_o redeem_v we_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o justify_v we_o or_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o it_o can_v be_v in_o se_fw-mi impute_v to_o we_o for_o our_o justification_n this_o you_o must_v answer_v for_o my_o part_n now_o i_o suppose_v neither_o of_o you_o can_v but_o that_o you_o must_v come_v off_o and_o if_o so_o not_o you_o to_o he_o or_o he_o to_o you_o but_o both_o to_o i_o or_o to_o that_o three_o way_n i_o have_v propose_v and_o do_v yet_o propose_v to_o your_o far_a consideration_n that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v that_o righteousness_n which_o justify_v we_o there_o be_v none_o do_v question_n but_o what_o this_o righteousness_n be_v be_v the_o question_n but_o now_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n without_o the_o law_n make_v manifest_a it_o can_v be_v christ_n righteousness_n for_o this_o be_v a_o righteousness_n with_o the_o law_n a_o perfect_a conformity_n to_o the_o whole_a law_n when_o this_o be_v a_o inchoate_n imperfect_a righteousness_n that_o according_a to_o the_o law_n be_v

not_o he_o but_o how_o of_o god_n if_o not_o that_o of_o christ_n who_o be_v god_n no_o for_o god_n and_o christ_n there_o be_v two_o but_o of_o god_n ordination_n because_o this_o be_v the_o way_n or_o method_n of_o become_v righteous_a that_o god_n have_v ordain_v under_o the_o gospel_n as_o mr._n clark_n express_v it_o though_o i_o shall_v rather_o say_v according_a to_o the_o gospel_n for_o no_o doubt_n this_o righteousness_n be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o ever_o in_o the_o world_n or_o else_o no_o man_n can_v have_v be_v save_v the_o apostle_n therefore_o after_o he_o have_v say_v

impute_v to_o he_o as_o his_o righteousness_n whereby_o god_n hold_v he_o and_o deal_v with_o he_o as_o a_o righteous_a person_n what_o man_n of_o free_a thought_n can_v believe_v that_o but_o if_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n we_o understand_v his_o grace_n and_o condescension_n to_o every_o sincere_a person_n that_o walk_v upright_o before_o he_o in_o accept_v they_o to_o life_n notwithstanding_o their_o fail_n when_o yet_o they_o know_v not_o upon_o what_o account_v it_o be_v as_o we_o under_o the_o gospel_n this_o without_o question_n we_o have_v every_o where_o witness_v
