can_v be_v none_o but_o christ_n i_o answer_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o affirm_v that_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v be_v justify_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o and_o that_o by_o christ_n and_o his_o only_a as_o the_o purchase_n and_o merit_n of_o justification_n but_o then_o that_o this_o be_v the_o qualify_a righteousness_n of_o i_o or_o another_o person_n which_o give_v interest_n in_o christ_n and_o a_o right_a to_o pardon_n and_o life_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n this_o i_o deny_v for_o though_o it_o be_v for_o christ_n we_o be_v justify_v yet_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n in_o he_o as_o impute_v by_o god_n we_o be_v formal_o justify_v and_o make_v righteous_a which_o faith_n though_o it_o be_v our_o own_o and_o so_o our_o own_o righteousness_n by_o free_a gift_n and_o possession_n yet_o be_v none_o of_o our_o own_o but_o christ_n in_o point_n of_o merit_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o righteousness_n christ_n have_v merit_v and_o god_n in_o point_n of_o efficiency_n as_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o there_o be_v this_o i_o will_v ask_v by_o the_o way_n i._n e._n whether_o justification_n be_v not_o a_o gospel_n privilege_n if_o it_o be_v as_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v then_o be_v not_o all_o gospel_n privilege_n purchase_v and_o merit_v by_o christ_n if_o so_o then_o certain_o justification_n among_o the_o rest_n and_o if_o justification_n give_v i_o leave_v further_a to_o ask_v do_v christ_n purchase_v and_o merit_v his_o own_o righteousness_n you_o grant_v he_o purchase_v and_o merit_v the_o privilege_n of_o justification_n and_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v the_o only_a formal_a justify_v righteousness_n of_o our_o person_n must_v you_o not_o then_o also_o say_v that_o he_o purchase_v and_o merit_v his_o own_o righteousness_n certain_o yes_o now_o pray_v when_o or_o how_o or_o by_o what_o do_v christ_n this_o if_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o purchase_v and_o merit_v his_o own_o righteousness_n then_o i_o ask_v how_o do_v he_o purchase_v and_o merit_v justification_n and_o how_o be_v justification_n then_o in_o your_o sense_n a_o gospel_n privilege_v purchase_v and_o merit_v by_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v that_o christ_n purchase_v and_o merit_v that_o his_o righteousness_n may_v be_v impute_v by_o god_n unto_o we_o for_o our_o justification_n grant_v this_o still_o you_o must_v say_v that_o he_o purchase_v and_o merit_v not_o that_o which_o you_o call_v the_o matter_n of_o your_o justification_n and_o so_o what_o you_o say_v must_v come_v to_o this_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o merit_n and_o purchase_v that_o which_o justify_v you_o and_o if_o so_o then_o that_o which_o justify_v you_o must_v not_o be_v that_o which_o be_v purchase_v and_o merit_v by_o christ_n see_v then_o however_o in_o this_o if_o the_o charge_n of_o socinianism_n do_v not_o fall_v foul_a upon_o
