like_o lamb_n they_o die_v without_o any_o hope_n like_o senseless_a and_o reasonless_a creature_n that_o know_v little_a more_o than_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o have_v scarce_o any_o more_o either_o hope_n or_o fear_v in_o what_o happen_v to_o they_o but_o as_o they_o fear_v not_o hell_n or_o vengeance_n so_o they_o hope_v not_o in_o god_n for_o heaven_n or_o blessedness_n perhaps_o they_o say_v they_o hope_v well_o because_o they_o be_v senseless_a of_o any_o thing_n they_o shall_v fear_v and_o so_o hope_v they_o say_v they_o shall_v meet_v with_o no_o evil_a be_v sensual_a like_o bruit_n beast_n they_o see_v none_o to_o be_v fear_v or_o avoid_v by_o they_o from_o both_o these_o the_o righteous_a differ_v in_o their_o death_n they_o have_v hope_n in_o it_o but_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v and_o make_v use_n of_o what_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o propound_v to_o we_o i_o shall_v proceed_v in_o this_o order_n to_o speak_v to_o it_o i_o shall_v 1._o explain_v the_o term_n 2._o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o proposition_n and_o 3._o apply_v it_o 1._o in_o the_o explication_n two_o thing_n will_v be_v speak_v to_o viz._n 1._o what_o or_o who_o be_v this_o righteous_a man_n and_o 2._o what_o be_v the_o hope_n he_o have_v in_o his_o death_n 1._o who_o be_v the_o righteous_a man_n here_o speak_v of_o quest_n quest_n and_o what_o be_v that_o which_o will_v put_v a_o man_n into_o the_o righteous_a estate_n here_o mention_v that_o be_v accompany_v with_o hope_n in_o death_n a_o man_n be_v denominate_v righteous_a from_o righteousness_n answ_n answ_n of_o which_o the_o scripture_n mention_n divers_a kind_n as_o 1._o a_o moral_a righteousness_n which_o stand_v in_o a_o just_a deal_n between_o man_n and_o man_n so_o abimelech_n ask_v if_o god_n will_v destroy_v a_o righteous_a nation_n gen._n 20.4_o he_o mean_v a_o people_n that_o have_v do_v no_o wrong_n to_o abraham_n witting_o but_o as_o god_n after_o answer_v he_o vers_n 6._o walk_v in_o that_o matter_n in_o integrity_n do_v but_o what_o in_o conscience_n they_o think_v may_v be_v do_v etc._n etc._n and_o so_o david_n appeal_v to_o god_n to_o judge_v he_o according_a to_o his_o righteousness_n that_o be_v his_o blameless_a carriage_n towards_o saul_n psal_n 7.8_o and_o so_o many_o gentile_n have_v be_v righteous_a that_o be_v just_a in_o their_o carriage_n towards_o man_n in_o what_o they_o judge_v to_o be_v their_o duty_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n nor_o these_o the_o righteous_a man_n here_o speak_v of_o because_o this_o may_v be_v consistent_a with_o ignorance_n and_o enmity_n against_o god_n it_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a humane_a righteousness_n 2._o a_o legal_a righteousness_n or_o a_o righteousness_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n mention_n two_o way_n viz._n 1._o either_o that_o that_o be_v so_o indeed_o which_o stand_v in_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a personal_a conformity_n to_o the_o law_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o thing_n never_o no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o lust_n transgress_v it_o for_o such_o righteousness_n the_o law_n require_v in_o that_o it_o curse_v every_o man_n that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o gal._n 3.10_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n say_v 7.20_o rom._n 3.10_o 11._o eccles_n 7.20_o there_o be_v none_o righteous_a none_o that_o do_v good_a and_o sin_v not_o etc._n etc._n 2._o or_o that_o that_o be_v judge_v and_o deem_v of_o man_n to_o be_v such_o whenas_o they_o do_v but_o endeavour_v after_o the_o law_n and_o in_o many_o thing_n transgress_v it_o yea_o sin_n against_o the_o very_a end_n of_o it_o in_o that_o they_o go_v about_o to_o make_v themselves_o righteous_a in_o and_o by_o that_o which_o be_v give_v they_o to_o convince_v of_o they_o sin_n and_o let_v they_o see_v their_o need_n of_o righteousness_n free_o give_v they_o of_o god_n in_o the_o promise_a seed_n this_o be_v that_o paul_n call_v a_o righteousness_n of_o a_o man_n own_o which_o while_o man_n seek_v to_o maintain_v they_o submit_v not_o to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n rom._n 10.3_o and_o which_o he_o himself_o will_v not_o be_v find_v in_o 9_o phil._n 3.8_o 9_o but_o in_o that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n a_o righteousness_n of_o work_n in_o which_o man_n from_o their_o zeal_n blamelessenesse_n endeavour_v after_o and_o performance_n of_o duty_n do_v trust_n in_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v and_o judge_v themselves_o to_o be_v righteous_a as_o the_o pharisee_fw-mi in_o luk._n 18.10_o 11._o that_o trust_v in_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v righteous_a because_o he_o do_v not_o as_o the_o loose_a sort_n be_v no_o publican_n no_o extortioner_n etc._n etc._n and_o because_o he_o be_v strict_a for_o pay_v tithe_n and_o keep_n fast_a day_n etc._n etc._n he_o say_v not_o that_o he_o trust_v to_o make_v himself_o righteous_a by_o so_o do_v but_o that_o he_o be_v already_o righteous_a else_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v so_o do_v this_o be_v a_o seem_a righteousness_n and_o many_o that_o have_v but_o this_o be_v pure_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n although_o they_o be_v never_o wash_v in_o and_o by_o the_o appearance_n of_o of_o the_o grace_n and_o and_o love_n of_o god_n 1.5_o rev._n 1.5_o from_o their_o sinfullnesse_n never_o bring_v into_o christ_n and_o justify_v through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o yet_o these_o i_o confess_v may_v have_v hope_n and_o walk_v on_o confident_o expect_v happiness_n and_o think_v this_o their_o righteousness_n advangious_a all_o their_o life_n time_n yea_o to_o their_o death_n but_o yet_o in_o death_n in_o the_o very_a pinch_n it_o will_v fail_v they_o and_o it_o will_v fare_v with_o they_o as_o with_o those_o that_o they_o speak_v of_o job_n 8.13_o 14._o &_o 11.20_o their_o hope_n will_v perish_v and_o be_v like_o the_o give_v up_o of_o the_o ghost_n it_o will_v die_v with_o they_o and_o so_o deceive_v they_o when_o it_o shall_v stand_v they_o in_o great_a stead_n because_o it_o be_v not_o well_o bottom_v nor_o spring_v from_o live_a last_a principle_n their_o righteousness_n from_o which_o it_o spring_v and_o on_o which_o they_o lean_v be_v but_o a_o conceit_n of_o righteousness_n a_o appear_a and_o not_o a_o real_a righteousness_n approve_v of_o by_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o hope_n ground_v thereupon_o will_v shrink_v with_o it_o when_o god_n come_v to_o touch_v it_o we_o may_v say_v of_o this_o righteousness_n and_o of_o they_o that_o be_v righteous_a in_o it_o 2.28_o rom_n 2.28_o as_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o circumcision_n and_o jew_n that_o be_v but_o such_o in_o the_o outside_n that_o be_v not_o righteousness_n that_o be_v outward_a in_o the_o appearance_n nor_o he_o a_o righteous_a man_n that_o be_v one_o outward_o therefore_o we_o must_v go_v yet_o a_o little_a further_o to_o a_o righteousness_n exceed_v this_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n will_v have_v his_o disciple_n to_o exceed_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n or_o else_o no_o admission_n into_o heaven_n for_o they_o a_o righteousness_n indeed_o which_o have_v god_n acceptance_n of_o which_o we_o come_v to_o take_v view_n in_o the_o next_o place_n viz._n 3._o a_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v call_v god_n righteousness_n a_o evangelical_a righteousness_n which_o the_o gospel_n set_v forth_o and_o declare_v and_o god_n free_o give_v of_o which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v very_o frequent_o as_o in_o rom._n 3.21_o 22._o but_o now_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n without_o the_o law_n be_v manifest_v be_v witness_v both_o by_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n even_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o all_o and_o upon_o all_o that_o believe_v and_o so_o in_o rom._n 1.17_o in_o the_o gospel_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v write_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n or_o the_o just_a by_o faith_n shall_v live_v ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d but_o what_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o give_v we_o quest_n quest_n it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n answ_n answ_n in_o who_o god_n give_v we_o justification_n and_o a_o righteous_a estate_n 25.5_o rom._n 10.4_o jer._n 25.5_o he_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n for_o righteousness_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v hence_o the_o prophet_n call_v he_o the_o lord_n our_o
