foundation_n be_v extrinsical_a as_o when_o a_o man_n debt_n be_v discharge_v by_o his_o surety_n he_o have_v his_o real_a benefit_n be_v discharge_v and_o release_v out_o of_o prison_n as_o if_o it_o

just_a there_o be_v or_o can_v be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n yet_o it_o be_v otherwise_o here_o because_o righteousness_n be_v not_o so_o impute_v unto_o we_o as_o that_o it_o be_v inherent_a in_o we_o so_o among_o man_n the_o more_o a_o man_n be_v forgive_v the_o less_o he_o be_v justify_v because_o forgiveness_n suppose_v he_o faulty_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n caution_n last_o we_o must_v not_o confound_v justification_n with_o the_o manifestation_n and_o declaration_n of_o it_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o conscience_n this_o be_v the_o rock_n at_o which_o the_o antinomian_n do_v so_o often_o split_v he_o suppose_v justification_n to_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o that_o therefore_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v before_o he_o do_v believe_v i'faith_o only_o justify_v by_o evidence_n and_o declaration_n to_o our_o conscience_n but_o this_o be_v to_o confound_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n and_o its_o execution_n as_o shall_v be_v prove_v hence_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n though_o some_o excellent_a man_n have_v do_v it_o to_o make_v faith_n a_o full_a persuasion_n of_o our_o justification_n for_o this_o suppose_v

among_o the_o learned_a as_o you_o have_v already_o hear_v some_o think_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o justification_n to_o be_v only_o in_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o make_v it_o the_o

we_o call_v these_o two_o thing_n yet_o this_o will_v be_v make_v plain_a that_o god_n in_o justification_n vouchsafe_v these_o two_o privilege_n to_o the_o person_n justify_v first_o he_o forgive_v his_o sin_n second_o he_o impute_v righteousness_n or_o rather_o this_o latter_a be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o former_a as_o i_o show_v before_o that_o justification_n be_v remission_n of_o sin_n be_v general_o receive_v answer_n the_o great_a question_n be_v about_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n but_o of_o that_o afterward_o only_a here_o may_v be_v a_o doubt_n how_o we_o can_v proper_o say_v that_o justification_n be_v pardon_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v in_o that_o he_o be_v pardon_v but_o rather_o it_o suppose_v he_o guilty_a it_o be_v true_a remission_n of_o sin_n do_v suppose_v a_o man_n faulty_a in_o himself_o but_o because_o christ_n do_v take_v our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o we_o be_v accept_v of_o through_o he_o as_o our_o surety_n therefore_o may_v remission_n of_o sin_n be_v well_o call_v justification_n indeed_o

so_o far_o may_v be_v call_v reign_v sin_n but_o because_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o blow_v up_o those_o spark_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o godly_a in_o his_o due_a time_n therefore_o they_o reign_v but_o as_o tyrant_n and_o that_o for_o a_o while_n not_o as_o king_n which_o then_o proper_o be_v when_o sin_n be_v customary_o commit_v with_o a_o antecedent_n and_o consequent_a consent_n
