conscience_n of_o all_o sinner_n contrariwise_o christ_n jesus_n be_v perfect_o righteous_a and_o in_o he_o be_v three_o inestimable_a benefit_n answerable_a to_o the_o three_o former_a evil_n first_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n sufficient_a for_o all_o man_n sin_n second_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n in_o fulfil_v the_o law_n three_o the_o perfect_a holiness_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o these_o be_v three_o sovereign_a medicine_n to_o heal_v all_o wound_a conscience_n and_o as_o three_o run_a stream_n of_o live_a water_n to_o bathe_v and_o to_o supple_a the_o bruise_a and_o contrite_a heart_n now_o come_v faith_n and_o first_o lay_v hold_v on_o the_o suffering_n or_o passive_a obedience_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v impute_v and_o appive_v to_o the_o sinner_n he_o be_v deliver_v from_o guilt_n and_o condemnation_n and_o so_o the_o first_o deadly_a wound_n be_v cure_v again_o faith_n lay_v hold_v upon_o his_o active_a obedience_n in_o fulfil_v the_o law_n which_o be_v impute_v and_o apply_v the_o person_n of_o the_o sinner_n be_v accept_v as_o perfect_o just_a before_o god_n and_o so_o the_o second_o deadly_a wound_n be_v cure_v three_o faith_n appli_v the_o holiness_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n call_v his_o habitual_a or_o original_a righteousness_n whereby_o he_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n as_o perfect_o holy_a and_o so_o the_o three_o deadly_a wound_n be_v cure_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o this_o righteousness_n be_v become_v we_o and_o we_o it_o and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v touch_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n now_o follow_v the_o use_n of_o doctrine_n and_o to_o omit_v many_o other_o doctrine_n which_o may_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n i_o will_v content_v myself_o with_o this_o one_o which_o the_o word_n do_v natural_o afford_v be_v almost_o express_v in_o the_o text_n to_o wit_n hence_o we_o be_v teach_v what_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n viz._n a_o reciprocal_a translation_n of_o our_o sin_n unto_o christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n unto_o we_o the_o which_o comprehend_v the_o whole_a form_n of_o justification_n wherein_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n first_o a_o not_o impute_v of_o sin_n second_o a_o impute_v of_o righteousness_n for_o that_o our_o sin_n may_v not_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o necessary_o they_o must_v be_v impute_v unto_o christ_n and_o that_o we_o of_o sinner_n may_v become_v just_a his_o righteousness_n must_v be_v impute_v unto_o us._n in_o a_o word_n then_o the_o form_n of_o justification_n be_v the_o imputation_n of_o the_o perfect_a obedience_n of_o christ_n unto_o the_o believer_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o for_o righteousness_n this_o point_n because_o it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a principle_n and_o a_o main_a ground_n and_o pillar_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o not_o a_o little_a controvert_v between_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o we_o i_o will_v stand_v the_o long_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o it_o both_o that_o we_o may_v be_v confirm_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o so_o necessary_a doctrine_n as_o also_o arm_v with_o the_o armour_n of_o proof_n against_o all_o the_o assault_n of_o the_o adversary_n wherewith_o they_o shall_v impugn_v it_o and_o that_o we_o may_v proceed_v in_o some_o order_n we_o will_v consider_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o what_o imputation_n be_v second_o that_o it_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n three_o we_o will_v touch_v some_o of_o the_o principal_a objection_n which_o be_v allege_v to_o the_o contrary_a by_o that_o apostatical_a and_o heretical_a church_n of_o rome_n and_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o name_n imputation_n be_v a_o metaphor_n borrow_v not_o from_o number_n &_o arithmetic_n as_o some_o have_v think_v but_o from_o a_o kind_n of_o contract_n call_v acceptilation_n wherein_o the_o creditor_n be_v content_a to_o accept_v the_o payment_n of_o the_o surety_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o debtor_n even_o as_o if_o he_o have_v discharge_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n touch_v the_o use_n and_o acception_n of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v twofold_a in_o scripture_n the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o inherent_a quality_n or_o action_n proceed_v thence_o be_v impute_v unto_o reward_n or_o punishment_n for_o reward_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o it_o rom._n 4.4_o to_o he_o that_o work_v the_o wage_n be_v impute_v a_o example_n of_o it_o we_o have_v in_o phinchas_n psal_n 106.31_o who_o work_n the_o lord_n impute_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n that_o be_v he_o approve_v it_o accept_v it_o and_o reward_v it_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o worker_n for_o punishment_n we_o have_v a_o instance_n 2_o sam._n 19.19_o where_o the_o varlet_n shimei_n do_v beseech_v david_n on_o this_o manner_n let_v not_o my_o lord_n impute_v wickedness_n unto_o i_o that_o be_v let_v he_o not_o inflict_v the_o punishment_n of_o my_o sin_n upon_o i_o 2._o tim._n 4.26_o at_o my_o first_o answer_v no_o man_n assist_v i_o but_o all_o forsake_v i_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v lay_v to_o their_o charge_n the_o second_o be_v when_o something_o out_o of_o a_o man_n self_n be_v by_o imputation_n make_v he_o as_o though_o it_o be_v inherent_a in_o he_o or_o wrought_v by_o he_o thus_o it_o be_v use_v rom._n 2.26_o thy_o uncircumcision_n be_v make_v circumcision_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o observer_n of_o the_o law_n so_o to_o philemon_n verse_n 18._o if_o onesimus_n have_v do_v thou_o any_o hurt_n impute_v it_o to_o i_o or_o set_v it_o on_o my_o score_n i_o will_v repay_v and_o in_o this_o latter_a sense_n we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n imputation_n therefore_o may_v be_v thus_o describe_v it_o be_v a_o action_n of_o god_n accept_v the_o all-sufficient_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o believe_a sinner_n unto_o satisfaction_n and_o justification_n now_o then_o to_o come_v to_o the_o first_o point_n that_o imputation_n thus_o describe_v be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o sinner_n before_o god_n though_o many_o argument_n may_v be_v use_v yet_o i_o will_v content_v myself_o with_o these_o two_o both_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o this_o text_n the_o former_a whereof_o may_v be_v frame_v thus_o after_o what_o manner_n christ_n become_v a_o sinner_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o be_v make_v just_a but_o he_o become_v a_o sinner_n not_o by_o infusion_n of_o any_o corrupt_a quality_n into_o his_o holy_a nature_n which_o be_v blasphemy_n once_o to_o conceive_v but_o by_o imputation_n of_o our_o sin_n only_o therefore_o we_o be_v just_a before_o god_n not_o by_o infusion_n of_o any_o habitual_a grace_n into_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n but_o by_o imputation_n of_o his_o righteousness_n only_o this_o argument_n be_v firm_a and_o invincible_a and_o can_v be_v delude_v be_v so_o sure_o ground_v upon_o this_o text_n if_o it_o be_v reply_v as_o indeed_o it_o be_v that_o if_o this_o reason_n of_o reciprocal_a imputation_n be_v so_o firm_a and_o of_o such_o force_n why_o do_v not_o the_o like_a consequent_n follow_v of_o both_o to_o wit_n why_o do_v not_o the_o imputation_n of_o our_o sin_n unto_o christ_n as_o well_o bring_v with_o it_o inherent_a corruption_n in_o he_o as_o the_o imputation_n of_o his_o righteousness_n unto_o we_o inherent_a grace_n in_o us._n ans_fw-fr the_o reason_n be_v far_o unlike_a for_o first_o though_o sin_n be_v of_o a_o very_a poisonful_a nature_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a force_n and_o power_n in_o sin_n to_o defile_v and_o to_o pollute_v as_o in_o grace_n to_o purge_v and_o to_o sanctify_v rom._n 5.15_o the_o gift_n be_v not_o so_o as_o be_v the_o offence_n note_v that_o there_o be_v more_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n in_o grace_n to_o sanctify_v and_o to_o save_v then_o in_o sin_n to_o defile_v and_o to_o destroy_v and_o indeed_o grace_n be_v like_a unto_o fire_n which_o though_o it_o be_v for_o quantity_n small_a yet_o for_o efficacy_n great_a again_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o replenish_v with_o holiness_n that_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o capable_a of_o sin_n but_o man_n nature_n be_v not_o so_o stain_v and_o corrupt_v with_o sin_n but_o that_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o grace_n be_v at_o the_o first_o create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o afterward_o again_o to_o be_v re●…ed_v by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o consider_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o capable_a of_o sin_n as_o man_n be_v of_o holiness_n the_o reason_n be_v of_o no_o moment_n the_o latter_a reason_n may_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o he_o say_v that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o whence_o i_o
