the_o negative_a the_o papist_n who_o be_v no_o heretic_n hold_v the_o affirmative_a who_o assertion_n he_o set_v down_o in_o three_o article_n first_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o just_a man_n

forsooth_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n of_o these_o man_n error_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o say_v much_o in_o this_o place_n because_o beside_o that_o which_o have_v already_o be_v deliver_v in_o

that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o out_o of_o we_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v absurd_a for_o as_o themselves_o expound_v the_o phrase_n 4._o formal_a justice_n consist_v either_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o in_o good_a action_n that_o be_v it_o be_v either_o habitual_a or_o actual_a so_o that_o it_o can_v stand_v in_o imputation_n by_o which_o we_o can_v no_o more_o be_v just_o formal_o than_o wife_n rich_a alive_a by_o imputation_n of_o wisdom_n riches_n and_o life_n wherefore_o i_o marvel_v how_o they_o can_v be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o

that_o christ_n obedience_n or_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o 3_o material_a cause_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o application_n or_o imputation_n thereof_o be_v the_o 9_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n we_o say_v then_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n itself_o be_v not_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n or_o that_o by_o which_o we_o be_v formal_o just_a

six_o that_o not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n all_o which_o before_o i_o see_v the_o book_n wherein_o these_o error_n be_v

the_o three_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n etc._n brief_o and_o in_o the_o whole_a five_o book_n at_o large_a that_o the_o form_n of_o justification_n be_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n

essential_a part_n of_o §._o justification_n viz._n the_o not_o impute_v or_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o god_n do_v grant_v by_o imputation_n of_o christ_n suffering_n in_o respect_n whereof_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o 9_o blood_n that_o be_v free_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o damnation_n and_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n 19_o obedience_n by_o which_o we_o be_v make_v or_o constitute_v righteous_a and_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n so_o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o form_n and_o much_o less_o the_o entire_a

neither_o be_v it_o the_o whole_a benefit_n of_o justification_n but_o a_o part_n thereof_o for_o although_o many_o of_o our_o divine_n as_o have_v be_v say_v have_v teach_v that_o unto_o

all_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o to_o his_o active_a obedience_n and_o justification_n be_v nothing_o as_o they_o say_v but_o remission_n of_o sin_n whereupon_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o chri●…ts_n passive_a obedience_n which_o i_o have_v already_o disprove_v error_n §_o vi_o the_o four_o deny_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n itself_o to_o be_v our_o

concern_v a_o righteousness_n purchase_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o i_o confute_v chap._n 4._o §_o 1._o for_o our_o righteousness_n be_v not_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o that_o by_o which_o we_o have_v remission_n not_o justification_n itself_o but_o that_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o justification_n

and_o therefore_o be_v not_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v impute_v thus_o therefore_o i_o argue_v by_o what_o we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o by_o what_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v our_o righteousness_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o not_o by_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o

the_o merit_n of_o christ._n if_o therefore_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v than_o his_o meritorious_a obedience_n neither_o can_v the_o merit_n of_o christ_n obedience_n be_v impute_v
