i_o will_v confess_v though_o in_o my_o judgement_n i_o be_o persuade_v that_o what_o i_o have_v write_v be_v the_o truth_n and_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o truth_n that_o make_v i_o write_v it_o yet_o do_v my_o heart_n a_o little_a misgive_v i_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o let_v pious_a man_n alone_o to_o such_o apprehension_n as_o they_o have_v imbibe_v though_o mingle_v with_o much_o darkness_n and_o some_o error_n in_o such_o a_o point_n as_o this_o where_o so_o much_o of_o their_o peace_n and_o life_n be_v bind_v up_o then_o to_o offer_v they_o any_o unsettlement_n by_o clear_a light_n though_o i_o be_v able_a indeed_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o they_o i_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v sorry_a if_o i_o offend_v any_o body_n but_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o care_n i_o stumble_v none_o who_o be_v good_a man_n and_o live_v godly_a neither_o will_v i_o straighten_v my_o own_o soul_n if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o therefore_o in_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n than_o i_o have_v express_v in_o that_o paper_n which_o i_o know_v not_o i_o do_v not_o part_v with_o my_o portion_n in_o it_o i_o protest_v thus_o much_o but_o will_v rather_o renounce_v all_o upon_o the_o conviction_n to_o cleave_v to_o it_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v justify_v we_o from_o the_o law_n and_o so_o from_o sin_n and_o from_o condemnation_n i_o do_v hold_v no_o less_o than_o other_o but_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v justify_v we_o by_o the_o law_n be_v a_o overgrow_a conception_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o work_n of_o man_n be_v we_o never_o so_o holy_a be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o god_n in_o his_o disstrict_n judgement_n that_o be_v if_o he_o shall_v deal_v with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o exact_a justice_n of_o the_o law_n without_o show_v we_o any_o mercy_n which_o will_v be_v acknowledge_v by_o protestant_n and_o papist_n who_o be_v ready_a to_o pray_v both_o with_o david_n enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n o_o lord_n for_o in_o thy_o sight_n shall_v no_o flesh_n live_v be_v justify_v if_o any_o papist_n then_o shall_v think_v that_o man_n righteousness_n be_v make_v so_o perfect_a by_o christ_n merit_n or_o any_o protestant_n that_o christ_n righteousness_n itself_o be_v so_o make_v we_o as_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n upon_o that_o account_n they_o be_v both_o mistake_v this_o be_v the_o only_a true_a extremity_n on_o both_o side_n for_o it_o be_v not_o by_o the_o law_n but_o by_o faith_n by_o the_o evangelical_n covenant_n or_o by_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n say_v the_o the_o apostle_n but_o under_o grace_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o a_o poor_a sinner_n to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n impute_v to_o he_o without_o work_n and_o that_o he_o be_v pardon_v but_o to_o have_v a_o righteonsness_n impute_v to_o he_o with_o work_n be_v more_o than_o we_o can_v sin_v to_o be_v allow_v he_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v such_o and_o to_o have_v that_o make_v we_o in_o itself_o or_o so_o as_o that_o in_o god_n reckon_n we_o must_v be_v as_o righteous_a as_o he_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v not_o hard_o perhaps_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o christ_n body_n where_o we_o have_v a_o text_n for_o it_o in_o the_o sacrament_n then_o to_o believe_v such_o a_o conceit_n for_o which_o we_o have_v no_o scripture_n at_o all_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n what_o then_o do_v i_o deny_v imputation_n no_o but_o i_o explain_v it_o it_o be_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n not_o inherent_a in_o we_o our_o divine_n will_v say_v ordinary_o but_o impute_v to_o we_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o what_o if_o i_o thus_o interpret_v this_o for_o they_o that_o be_v not_o as_o if_o we_o have_v do_v in_o his_o person_n what_o christ_n do_v but_o by_o his_o righteousness_n make_v we_o in_o the_o effect_n only_o so_o the_o very_a learned_a

with_o that_o of_o paul_n which_o be_v one_o part_n of_o my_o paper_n but_o it_o will_v lead_v he_o to_o the_o other_o which_o be_v to_o see_v that_o what_o our_o protestant_n say_v ordinary_o on_o this_o matter_n do_v need_v a_o favourable_a exposition_n it_o be_v a_o jejune_n thing_n i_o count_v to_o bring_v the_o great_a dispute_n that_o paul_n have_v with_o the_o jew_n about_o justification_n to_o this_o result_n only_o whether_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n or_o the_o proper_a work_n or_o fruit_n of_o it_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a more_o satisfactory_a to_o bring_v it_o only_o to_o this_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o the_o observation_n of_o moses_n law_n for_o though_o this_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o dispute_n and_o the_o apostle_n therefore_o do_v show_v they_o how_o it_o be_v by_o the_o promise_n and_o so_o by_o faith_n that_o abraham_n and_o the_o jew_n themselves_o have_v life_n and_o not_o by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v but_o a_o schoolmaster_n to_o lead_v they_o thereunto_o or_o unto_o christ_n yet_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o advance_v the_o point_n high_o while_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o by_o work_v neither_o jew_n nor_o gemile_n can_v be_v justify_v so_o that_o by_o work_n he_o must_v mean_v the_o observation_n of_o that_o law_n of_o work_n which_o be_v common_a to_o both_o and_o not_o moses_n law_n only_o and_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o dispute_n in_o both_o apostle_n come_v to_o this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o the_o ovenant_n of_o work_n or_o law_n of_o moses_n that_o a_o man_n be_v to_o look_v for_o life_n everlasting_a i_o must_v add_v nor_o be_v they_o to_o be_v hear_v in_o a_o three_o place_n who_o say_v that_o the_o dispute_n between_o paul_n and_o the_o jew_n be_v neither_o of_o these_o but_o whether_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o our_o own_o righteousness_n or_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o resolve_v that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o any_o work_n which_o we_o do_v even_a faith_n itself_o as_o a_o work_n but_o by_o the_o work_v christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o that_o be_v by_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o life_n and_o death_n only_o for_o though_o this_o be_v teach_v ordinary_o by_o our_o protestant_n and_o be_v coincident_a with_o the_o first_o result_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n i_o must_v say_v these_o divine_n have_v not_o consider_v which_o i_o have_v offer_v they_o in_o my_o paper_n that_o must_v bring_v they_o to_o another_o understanding_n it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v indeed_o stand_v much_o upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o opposition_n to_o work_n in_o the_o business_n of_o justification_n but_o never_o oppose_v our_o work_n to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n in_o their_o sense_n be_v true_o a_o very_a contrary_a thing_n to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o a_o ostle_n if_o i_o may_v then_o describe_v it_o but_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v and_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v and_o a_o little_a more_o full_o than_o i_o have_v in_o my_o former_a paper_n be_v on_o god_n part_n his_o taking_z our_o human_a frailey_o or_o fall_v nature_n into_o that_o meet_a consideration_n as_o not_o to_o deal_v with_o we_o in_o his_o district_n judgement_n which_o we_o can_v bear_v but_o according_a to_o his_o covenant_n of_o mercy_n the_o righteousness_n sacrifice_n atonement_n or_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n be_v suppose_v as_o the_o foundation_n upon_o which_o his_o justice_n do_v stand_v good_a notwithstanding_o this_o condescension_n and_o consequent_o on_o man_n part_n this_o righteousness_n be_v our_o imperfect_a duty_n perform_v in_o sincerity_n
