have_v make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o 2_o cor._n 5.21_o i_o grant_v he_o do_v so_o but_o do_v

without_o regard_n to_o any_o act_n of_o we_o but_o when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o christ_n be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o and_o our_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o he_o

it_o only_o to_o let_v they_o know_v what_o christ_n have_v already_o do_v for_o mankind_n that_o be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o ministry_n of_o consolation_n for_o believer_n but_o not_o of_o reconciliation_n but_o the_o apostle_n lay_v great_a force_n upon_o it_o that_o god_n have_v commit_v to_o they_o the_o word_n of_o reconciliation_n now_o then_o say_v he_o we_o be_v ambassador_n for_o christ_n as_o though_o god_n do_v beseech_v you_o by_o we_o we_o pray_v you_o in_o christ_n stead_n be_v you_o reconcile_v to_o god_n v_o 20._o they_o be_v by_o this_o ministry_n of_o

of_o person_n they_o be_v more_o than_o reconcile_v to_o god_n already_o if_o they_o be_v true_a believer_n for_o they_o be_v as_o righteous_a as_o christ_n himself_o and_o therefore_o must_v be_v

and_o consequent_o this_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n be_v whole_o subvert_v as_o to_o the_o great_a purpose_n and_o design_n of_o it_o for_o either_o they_o be_v reconcile_v already_o or_o they_o never_o can_v be_v and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n after_o those_o word_n v_o 21._o immediate_o subjoin_v ch._n 6.1_o we_o then_o as_o worker_n together_o with_o he_o beseech_v you_o also_o that_o you_o receive_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a what_o can_v the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n be_v if_o dr._n crisp'_v sense_n of_o the_o change_n of_o person_n hold_v good_a can_v they_o who_o be_v complete_o righteous_a ever_o receive_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a and_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v he_o speak_v of_o their_o work_n together_o with_o god_n and_o beseech_v they_o not_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n utter_o impossible_a for_o it_o will_v be_v to_o undo_v what_o have_v long_o since_o be_v do_v between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n in_o the_o change_n of_o person_n so_o that_o this_o notion_n of_o the_o change_n of_o person_n be_v as_o different_a from_o st._n paul_n as_o may_v be_v for_o that_o suppose_v no_o condition_n on_o our_o side_n and_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n in_o st._n paul_n be_v whole_o found_v upon_o it_o and_o real_o signify_v nothing_o as_o to_o the_o end_v he_o propose_v without_o it_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v that_o appoint_v to_o persuade_v man_n to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n if_o all_o that_o ever_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o heaven_n be_v long_o since_o reconcile_v at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v make_v as_o complete_o righteous_a as_o christ_n himself_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n be_v not_o useless_a because_o it_o be_v the_o mean_n whereby_o god_n do_v ●ffectually_o convey_v his_o grace_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n but_o this_o can_v satisfy_v any_o one_o that_o consider_v st._n paul_n expression_n for_o his_o word_n be_v we_o pray_v you_o in_o christ_n stead_n be_v you_o reconcile_v to_o god_n if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o god_n have_v make_v christ_n to_o be_v sin_n for_o you_o already_o and_o you_o as_o righteous_a as_o christ_n be_v how_o will_v it_o have_v look_v to_o have_v say_v after_o this_o we_o pray_v you_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n for_o what_o need_v they_o any_o reconciliation_n who_o be_v already_o so_o much_o in_o his_o favour_n but_o be_v there_o no_o change_n of_o person_n then_o imply_v in_o those_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n who_o make_v he_o to_o be_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o yes_o certain_o such_o a_o change_n whereby_o christ_n do_v undergo_v the_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o erasmus_n observe_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o call_v a_o sinner_n here_o as_o dr._n crisp_n will_v have_v it_o but_o sin_n i._n e._n a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n sense_n and_o we_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o i._n e._n that_o god_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o our_o reconciliation_n to_o he_o will_v treat_v we_o as_o righteous_a person_n or_o receive_v we_o into_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n which_o be_v all_o that_o i_o can_v find_v that_o st._n paul_n understand_v by_o this_o expression_n 2._o i_o be_o now_o to_o show_v that_o this_o notion_n of_o the_o change_n of_o person_n which_o dr._n crisp_n assert_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o term_n of_o salvation_n contain_v in_o the_o gospel_n i_o be_o sensible_a how_o large_a a_o field_n i_o be_o enter_v upon_o and_o if_o i_o shall_v pursue_v this_o matter_n as_o it_o deserve_v it_o will_v take_v up_o much_o more_o room_n than_o i_o can_v allow_v to_o this_o answer_n i_o can_v easy_o prove_v that_o in_o all_o the_o transaction_n between_o god_n and_o mankind_n some_o condition_n on_o our_o side_n be_v require_v in_o order_n to_o his_o favour_n so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n so_o it_o continue_v after_o man_n fall_n as_o appear_v by_o those_o remarkable_a word_n of_o god_n to_o cain_n if_o thou_o do_v well_o shall_v thou_o not_o be_v accept_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o well_o sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n gen._n 4.7_o so_o it_o be_v

i_o suppose_v they_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v to_o have_v be_v of_o the_o elect_n and_o to_o have_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n as_o well_o as_o christian_n and_o come_v to_o the_o term_n of_o salvation_n as_o declare_v by_o christ_n himself_o let_v any_o one_o serious_o peruse_v the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o preach_v from_o the_o time_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o preach_v
