be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o imputation_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o text_n in_o which_o now_o a_o little_a i_o mean_v to_o trade_n the_o text_n say_v he_o be_v make_v unto_o be_v righteousness_n that_o be_v god_n in_o christ_n do_v justify_v a_o beleeleever_n by_o way_n of_o imputation_n though_o he_o have_v nothing_o in_o himself_o though_o he_o do_v nothing_o of_o himself_o whereby_o to_o be_v justify_v in_o god_n account_n yet_o god_n will_v justify_v he_o through_o the_o justice_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o he_o and_o count_v upon_o his_o score_n so_o that_o imputation_n impli_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o a_o man_n have_v nothing_o can_v do_v nothing_o second_o that_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o something_o christ_n have_v and_o have_v do_v for_o he_o the_o point_n than_o be_v clear_a and_o that_o be_v this_o doctrine_n god_n do_v justify_v a_o believe_a soul_n not_o for_o what_o he_o have_v not_o for_o what_o he_o do_v but_o only_o for_o what_o christ_n have_v and_o have_v do_v for_o he_o i_o say_v christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o justice_n god_n the_o father_n do_v justify_v a_o believer_n only_o in_o and_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o point_n we_o must_v first_o inquire_v what_o it_o be_v to_o justify_v second_o what_o do_v we_o mean_v when_o as_o we_o say_v he_o be_v make_v justice_n for_o nothing_o a_o man_n have_v or_o do_v to_o justify_v in_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n it_o do_v imply_v two_o thing_n first_o to_o justify_v be_v to_o make_v a_o man_n just_a and_o this_o be_v very_o seldom_o use_v in_o scripture_n i_o mean_v thus_o to_o put_v some_o holiness_n or_o some_o gracious_a disposition_n and_o some_o spiritual_a faculty_n and_o ability_n into_o the_o soul_n and_o to_o make_v a_o man_n just_a as_o when_o a_o ignorant_a man_n be_v make_v a_o wise_a man_n when_o a_o profane_a man_n be_v make_v a_o pure_a man_n when_o a_o unclean_a man_n be_v make_v a_o righteous_a man_n and_o so_o real_o change_v this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n revelation_n 22.11_o he_o that_o be_v just_a let_v he_o be_v just_a still_o and_o he_o that_o be_v unjust_a let_v he_o be_v unjust_a still_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v when_o god_n have_v bestow_v all_o mean_n upon_o he_o and_o vouchsafe_v all_o mercy_n and_o encouragement_n to_o he_o if_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o will_v be_v unjust_a let_v he_o be_v unjust_a still_o let_v he_o be_v for_o ever_o unjust_a there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o he_o but_o he_o that_o be_v holy_a let_v he_o be_v more_o holy_a let_v he_o increase_v in_o grace_n but_o we_o do_v not_o take_v it_o so_o now_o in_o this_o doctrine_n second_o to_o justify_v it_o be_v a_o word_n of_o judicial_a proceed_n when_o in_o a_o legal_a manner_n the_o judge_n do_v pronounce_v a_o man_n free_a and_o acquit_v he_o and_o proclaim_v it_o as_o if_o he_o be_v and_o say_v the_o law_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o he_o he_o do_v pronounce_v he_o have_v not_o offend_v the_o law_n now_o this_o be_v opposite_a and_o contrary_a to_o condemnation_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n and_o it_o be_v a_o pregnant_a one_o but_o this_o give_v we_o great_a light_n and_o insight_n into_o the_o place_n he_o that_o justifi_v the_o wicked_a and_o condemn_v the_o just_a they_o be_v both_o a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n to_o justify_v in_o the_o former_a sense_n be_v to_o make_v a_o wicked_a man_n a_o good_a man_n and_o be_v he_o a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n this_o be_v a_o gross_a folly_n no_o but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o he_o that_o acquit_v any_o man_n as_o guiltless_a that_o be_v guilty_a this_o be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o first_o word_n open_v so_o that_o when_o we_o say_v god_n do_v justify_v you_o our_o meaning_n be_v not_o this_o that_o god_n send_v grace_n or_o holiness_n into_o you_o for_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n but_o god_n do_v justify_v you_o that_o be_v he_o do_v pronounce_v before_o his_o tribunal_n that_o his_o justice_n and_o law_n be_v full_o satisfy_v that_o he_o will_v lay_v nothing_o upon_o your_o score_n require_v no_o satisfaction_n at_o your_o hand_n but_o he_o will_v full_o and_o free_o discharge_v you_o of_o all_o your_o sin_n which_o you_o have_v commit_v second_o again_o god_n do_v justify_v a_o poor_a sinner_n not_o for_o any_o thing_n he_o have_v not_o for_o any_o thing_n he_o do_v mark_v that_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o no_o privilege_n that_o a_o man_n do_v enjoy_v no_o part_n of_o wit_n understanding_n or_o memory_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o way_n nay_o i_o say_v more_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n that_o a_o man_n have_v no_o duty_n that_o he_o can_v perform_v for_o which_o as_o the_o material_a and_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n god_n do_v pronounce_v any_o man_n to_o be_v righteous_a if_o a_o man_n can_v weep_v out_o his_o eye_n in_o sorrow_n if_o a_o man_n can_v hunger_n and_o thirst_n for_o christ_n more_o than_o for_o his_o daily_a bread_n god_n will_v not_o justify_v a_o sinner_n for_o all_o these_o thing_n how_o do_v god_n then_o justify_v a_o man_n why_o he_o justifi_v a_o sinner_n for_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o he_o the_o surety_n have_v pay_v it_o and_o he_o account_v it_o we_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o imputation_n only_o not_o by_o any_o action_n those_o be_v necessary_a concomitant_n not_o real_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v not_o a_o man_n justify_v by_o faith_n and_o be_v not_o faith_n a_o grace_n and_o have_v not_o a_o man_n that_o ability_n wrought_v in_o he_o by_o god_n i_o answer_v true_a the_o lord_n do_v justify_v a_o man_n by_o his_o faith_n but_o he_o do_v not_o justify_v he_o for_o his_o faith_n that_o be_v faith_n be_v the_o hand_n that_o lay_v hold_v upon_o the_o obedience_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v for_o his_o merit_n not_o for_o our_o faith_n though_o by_o our_o faith_n we_o be_v justify_v a_o man_n live_v by_o faith_n not_o that_o faith_n nourish_v he_o as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v a_o man_n live_v by_o his_o hand_n not_o that_o his_o hand_n nourish_v he_o but_o his_o hand_n labour_v and_o his_o labour_n procure_v money_n and_o his_o money_n provide_v meat_n and_o by_o his_o meat_n he_o live_v but_o because_o his_o hand_n be_v the_o mean_n to_o get_v it_o his_o hand_n be_v the_o mean_n to_o obtain_v it_o therefore_o we_o say_v he_o live_v by_o his_o hand_n just_o so_o it_o be_v here_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n not_o that_o faith_n will_v acquit_v any_o man_n under_o heaven_n but_o because_o christ_n merit_n be_v through_o faith_n receive_v and_o apply_v to_o we_o and_o so_o through_o christ_n we_o be_v justify_v so_o than_o we_o hear_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o point_n phil._n 3.9_o mark_v the_o apostle_n two_o phrase_n that_o i_o may_v be_v find_v

in_o he_o not_o have_v my_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n there_o be_v but_o these_o two_o righteousness_n in_o the_o world_n first_o a_o man_n own_o righteousness_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v and_o god_n have_v give_v he_o and_o the_o duty_n which_o he_o perform_v and_o this_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n now_o paul_n do_v profess_v that_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o this_o but_o only_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o from_o christ_n he_o labour_v to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o righteousness_n for_o by_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v justify_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n be_v this_o that_o which_o in_o no_o measure_n be_v answerable_a to_o god_n justice_n and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o exactness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o for_o which_o a_o man_n may_v be_v condemn_v that_o can_v justify_v a_o man_n but_o what_o ever_o a_o man_n have_v or_o do_v all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n wrought_v in_o he_o and_o all_o the_o performance_n do_v by_o he_o there_o be_v that_o imperfection_n or_o blemish_n even_o in_o they_o for_o which_o god_n may_v just_o condemn_v he_o therefore_o a_o man_n can_v be_v justify_v thereby_o this_o be_v a_o undenied_a rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n what_o ever_o condemn_v a_o man_n can_v justify_v a_o man_n but_o the_o law_n condemn_v a_o man_n for_o what_o he_o have_v or_o can_v do_v therefore_o it_o can_v justify_v a_o man_n there_o be_v no_o grace_n in_o a_o man_n no_o duty_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o a_o man_n but_o if_o god_n will_v look_v into_o it_o according_a to_o the_o strictness_n and_o exactness_n of_o the_o law_n he_o may_v just_o condemn_v he_o for_o it_o that_o i_o prove_v gal._n 5.17_o every_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o spirit_n lust_a against_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o flesh_n lust_a against_o the_o spirit_n and_o these_o two_o be_v contrary_a in_o the_o best_a of_o god_n servant_n there_o be_v flesh_n and_o a_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o holy_a duty_n so_o there_o be_v two_o law_n the_o law_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o member_n the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v perfect_o holy_a without_o any_o stain_n of_o sin_n perfect_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n without_o any_o blemish_n or_o stain_v therein_o but_o every_o gracious_a man_n have_v a_o stain_n of_o pollution_n in_o his_o soul_n that_o be_v one_o thing_n and_o a_o stain_n in_o his_o performance_n that_o be_v another_o thing_n therefore_o no_o man_n duty_n no_o man_n ability_n or_o sufficiency_n can_v justify_v he_o before_o god_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n cry_v out_o of_o rom._n 7.13_o a_o law_n in_o his_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n so_o that_o the_o case_n be_v clear_a if_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o holy_a paul_n as_o he_o profess_v of_o himself_o then_o much_o more_o of_o the_o best_a saint_n now_o for_o that_o they_o have_v not_o more_o grace_n than_o paul_n have_v therefore_o they_o can_v be_v justify_v for_o what_o they_o have_v or_o do_v take_v a_o lame_a limb_n as_o the_o
