or_o in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n to_o all_o man_n that_o be_v with_o this_o doctrine_n must_v the_o suretyship_n of_o

be_v three_o construction_n may_v be_v make_v of_o this_o commutation_n of_o person_n one_o be_v that_o christ_n take_v on_o he_o our_o nature_n have_v dye_v to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o behalf_n of_o we_o as_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o old_a and_o the_o commutation_n of_o person_n in_o this_o sense_n must_v be_v understand_v thus_o that_o whereas_o christ_n be_v a_o innocent_a person_n and_o so_o not_o liable_a to_o suffer_v and_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o obnoxious_a christ_n here_o come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o obnoxious_a and_o suffer_v put_v we_o in_o the_o room_n of_o he_o that_o be_v not_o obnoxious_a and_o not_o liable_a to_o escape_v upon_o the_o term_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o construction_n in_o short_a come_v to_o this_o christ_n suffer_v that_o we_o may_v not_o suffer_v and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o only_a construction_n i_o think_v of_o this_o commutation_n of_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v both_o according_a to_o grotius_n and_o bishop_n stillingfleet_n who_o you_o quote_v for_o your_o authority_n in_o this_o matter_n another_o construction_n may_v be_v this_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v suffer_v the_o law_n according_a to_o you_o that_o we_o may_v be_v free_v from_o punishment_n and_o christ_n obey_v the_o law_n that_o we_o may_v have_v right_a to_o heaven_n this_o i_o suppose_v you_o as_o represent_v the_o independent_a brethren_n do_v hold_v and_o there_o be_v now_o this_o commutation_n of_o person_n here_o that_o god_n do_v look_v on_o what_o christ_n suffer_v and_o do_v for_o we_o as_o do_v by_o christ_n in_o our_o person_n and_o on_o what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o to_o be_v do_v by_o we_o in_o his_o person_n or_o more_o short_a that_o in_o what_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v god_n look_v on_o it_o as_o do_v by_o christ_n in_o our_o person_n and_o by_o we_o in_o christ_n person_n here_o be_v a_o change_n of_o person_n who_o can_v gain_v say_v it_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v add_v as_o you_o must_v hold_v that_o without_o this_o we_o can_v not_o have_v and_o by_o this_o we_o therefore_o have_v deliverance_n from_o wrath_n and_o right_o to_o salvation_n if_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v not_o we_o you_o may_v urge_v it_o can_v justify_v we_o and_o if_o it_o be_v we_o it_o can_v be_v we_o in_o good_a earnest_n in_o law-sense_n no_o otherwise_o this_o be_v high_a but_o there_o be_v a_o three_o construction_n go_v far_a which_o be_v that_o as_o christ_n stand_v in_o our_o room_n and_o put_v on_o our_o person_n to_o suffer_v for_o we_o so_o we_o be_v put_v into_o his_o room_n to_o be_v righteous_a for_o we_o or_o put_v on_o his_o person_n to_o stand_v before_o god_n for_o justification_n and_o life_n both_o these_o construction_n whatsoever_o be_v make_v of_o they_o be_v too_o much_o and_o to_o be_v discard_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o our_o reason_n already_o mention_v and_o yet_o more_o there_o be_v no_o such_o commutation_n warrantable_a but_o there_o be_v text_n wrest_v to_o this_o sense_n which_o must_v have_v another_o interpretation_n there_o be_v neither_o of_o they_o but_o make_v we_o justifiable_a by_o the_o law_n which_o subvert_v the_o gospel_n there_o be_v neither_o of_o they_o but_o make_v his_o righteousness_n to_o justify_v we_o formaliter_fw-la or_o to_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n this_o be_v therefore_o a_o fundamental_a mistake_n of_o the_o protestant_n and_o the_o first_o of_o these_o construction_n be_v the_o only_a true_a construction_n it_o be_v fit_a i_o shall_v make_v

say_v but_o i_o do_v that_o be_v not_o bono_fw-mi nostro_fw-la only_a but_o loco_fw-la nostro_fw-la in_o this_o sense_n that_o by_o his_o suffering_n we_o be_v free_v from_o suffer_v not_o

life_n though_o not_o from_o obey_v the_o gospel_n which_o require_v faith_n and_o repentance_n and_o good_a work_n in_o sincerity_n in_o the_o room_n thereof_o and_o have_v not_o obey_v the_o law_n for_o we_o or_o in_o our_o stead_n otherwise_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n consist_v of_o both_o his_o suffering_n and_o obedience_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o and_o make_v we_o though_o not_o in_o se_fw-la yet_o in_o the_o effect_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o righteousness_n or_o for_o his_o sake_n we_o be_v justify_v this_o be_v say_v i_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o

for_o it_o but_o this_o more_o especial_o here_o at_o this_o time_n because_o it_o be_v contradictory_n to_o the_o first_o if_o christ_n have_v suffer_v that_o we_o may_v not_o suffer_v then_o have_v

suffer_v to_o suffer_v that_o we_o may_v not_o suffer_v and_o to_o suffer_v that_o we_o may_v be_v account_v to_o have_v suffer_v be_v a_o contradiction_n for_o the_o matter_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v through_o christ_n righteousness_n we_o be_v justify_v yet_o that_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v not_o only_o require_v as_o the_o condition_n but_o when_o the_o condition_n
