A67126	Socinianisme in the fundamentall point of justification discovered, and confuted, or, An answer to a written pamphlet maintaining that faith is in a proper sense without a trope imputed to beleevers in justification wherein the Socinian fallacies are discovered and confuted, and the true Christian doctrine maintained, viz. that the righteousnesse by which true beleevers are justified before God is the perfect righteousnesse and obedience which the Lord Iesus Christ God and man did perform to the law of God, both in his life and death / by George Walker ...

to_o dispute_v against_o god_n impute_v of_o christ_n righteousness_n in_o justification_n his_o reason_n be_v 3._o first_o because_o god_n require_v christ_n righteousness_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o require_v of_o god_n for_o our_o righteousness_n to_o justification_n second_o because_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o show_v what_o must_v be_v do_v and_o perform_v by_o we_o and_o what_o god_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n to_o justification_n and_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v not_o any_o thing_n perform_v by_o we_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o here_o say_v to_o be_v impute_v three_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v justify_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n without_o any_o other_o thing_n perform_v by_o we_o this_o have_v be_v to_o cast_v a_o snare_n upon_o we_o rather_o than_o to_o open_v to_o we_o a_o door_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o his_o deny_v of_o christ_n righteousness_n to_o be_v impute_v be_v heretical_a so_o also_o be_v his_o reason_n bring_v to_o confirm_v his_o opinion_n first_o in_o that_o he_o say_v god_n do_v not_o require_v of_o we_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o our_o justification_n this_o phrase_n be_v not_o only_o harsh_a and_o unsavoury_a but_o also_o full_a of_o calumny_n and_o close_a slander_n it_o be_v harsh_a and_o absurd_a like_a as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v that_o god_n require_v the_o same_o particular_a and_o individual_a act_n do_v by_o another_o to_o be_v not_o do_v by_o he_o but_o by_o we_o which_o imply_v a_o gross_a contradiction_n it_o be_v also_o full_a of_o close_a calumny_n for_o hereby_o he_o go_v about_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v that_o the_o orthodox_n doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o the_o communion_n and_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v a_o teach_n and_o suppose_v that_o god_n require_v of_o we_o for_o justification_n that_o we_o be_v performer_n of_o the_o same_o individual_a work_n of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o propriety_n and_o formality_n of_o they_o which_o christ_n perform_v and_o so_o he_o open_o express_v his_o mind_n in_o another_o place_n which_o be_v a_o base_a slander_n as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v second_o in_o that_o he_o say_v god_n require_v christ_n righteousness_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o not_o for_o our_o justification_n this_o imply_v that_o christ_n have_v need_v of_o justification_n and_o be_v bind_v to_o fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n as_o a_o thing_n requisite_a for_o himself_o and_o it_o savour_v very_o rank_a of_o the_o samosatenian_a and_o socinian_n heresy_n which_o deny_v christ_n eternal_a deity_n for_o if_o christ_n his_o humane_a nature_n be_v from_o the_o first_o conception_n

answer_v to_o the_o first_o argument_n in_o this_o argument_n there_o be_v more_o impudent_a lie_v then_o full_a pause_n or_o sentence_n the_o first_o impudent_a lie_n be_v that_o the_o apostle_n

of_o a_o believer_n be_v count_v the_o state_n of_o righteousness_n or_o of_o a_o man_n justify_v or_o that_o faith_n

most_o part_n at_o this_o day_n answer_n in_o this_o three_o argument_n he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o if_o faith_n be_v say_v to_o be_v impute_v by_o a_o trope_n or_o metonymy_n and_o that_o by_o faith_n be_v mean_v the_o object_n of_o it_o yet_o christ_n righteousness_n can_v be_v mean_v because_o the_o object_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v impute_v be_v god_n himself_o or_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n but_o to_o understand_v that_o by_o god_n be_v mean_v christ_n righteousness_n will_v be_v not_o a_o trope_n or_o figure_n of_o speech_n but_o a_o monster_n of_o speech_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o abraham_n faith_n which_o be_v impute_v be_v a_o believe_a that_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v his_o shield_n and_o his_o exceed_a great_a reward_n gen._n 15.1_o now_o no_o man_n can_v in_o believe_v by_o a_o true_a faith_n separate_v the_o righteousness_n and_o full_a satisfaction_n of_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n from_o christ_n himself_o to_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v our_o reward_n be_v to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v become_v our_o righteousness_n and_o so_o our_o reward_n for_o the_o reward_n of_o blessedness_n be_v the_o reward_n of_o righteousness_n and_o be_v call_v the_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n 2._o tim._n 4._o so_o that_o the_o argument_n may_v be_v turn_v thus_o against_o himself_o whosoever_o true_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v his_o reward_n he_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v righteousness_n and_o so_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v jehovah_n his_o righteousness_n abraham_n when_o his_o faith_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o

the_o object_n of_o his_o justify_v faith_n second_o he_o have_v here_o one_o most_o gross_a and_o absurd_a speech_n which_o show_v either_o his_o palpable_a ignorance_n in_o rhetoric_n or_o

monster_n of_o speech_n here_o i_o will_v entreat_v he_o to_o tell_v i_o ingenuous_o whether_o he_o do_v hold_v the_o lord_n christ_n who_o appear_v and_o speak_v to_o abraham_n and_o the_o father_n and_o who_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o true_a god_n if_o he_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a god_n than_o we_o shall_v take_v he_o to_o be_v in_o all_o point_n of_o heresy_n a_o complete_a

he_o who_o true_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o enjoy_v he_o must_v needs_o believe_v his_o righteousness_n and_o enjoy_v it_o and_o to_o speak_v of_o believe_v in_o christ_n god_n our_o shield_n

believe_v he_o do_v notorious_o delude_v and_o gull_v his_o reader_n and_o show_v great_a impudence_n for_o what_o more_o often_o require_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v believe_v then_o that_o
