which_o be_v not_o a_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n but_o if_o i_o suppose_v this_o i_o must_v admit_v that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o denounce_v death_n for_o the_o least_o sin_n for_o to_o condemn_v to_o death_n for_o the_o least_o sin_n and_o to_o promise_v life_n to_o imperfect_a obedience_n consist_v not_o yea_o i_o must_v then_o consider_v god_n to_o enact_v that_o rule_n of_o judgement_n as_o in_o his_o first_o relation_n to_o innocent_a man_n viz._n as_o creator_n govern_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o absolute_a propriety_n in_o man_n as_o his_o creature_n but_o if_o god_n be_v consider_v only_o in_o that_o relation_n it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o his_o perfection_n to_o enact_v a_o rule_n of_o judgement_n which_o promise_v life_n to_o any_o thing_n short_a of_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n he_o deliver_v and_o which_o man_n be_v original_o capable_a to_o obey_v and_o moreover_o we_o find_v in_o the_o rule_n of_o judgement_n by_o which_o he_o now_o justify_v man_n a_o direct_a respect_n to_o many_o thing_n which_o that_o first_o law_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o as_o the_o death_n of_o a_o redeemer_n for_o our_o sin_n faith_n in_o this_o

gospel-promise_a of_o the_o redeemer_n viz._n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v hereby_o indeed_o the_o justify_v sentence_n will_v direct_o pass_v upon_o man_n as_o a_o believer_n and_o adjudge_v he_o to_o a_o right_a in_o whatever_o the_o gospel_n promise_v to_o believer_n qua_fw-la such_o and_o consider_v the_o chief_a design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o induce_v fall_v sinner_n to_o believe_v upon_o a_o supposition_n and_o assurance_n give_v that_o satisfaction_n be_v already_o make_v by_o our_o redeemer_n and_o not_o now_o to_o be_v make_v or_o adjust_v many_o be_v apt_a to_o confine_v their_o thought_n of_o justification_n to_o this_o as_o the_o alone_a rule_n of_o judgement_n and_o the_o account_n of_o the_o final_a judgement_n general_o state_v it_o in_o this_o

so_o abstract_o take_v for_o 1._o this_o will_v too_o much_o confine_v the_o influence_n of_o christ_n merit_n to_o the_o mere_a procure_n of_o the_o gospel-promise_a whereas_o we_o find_v it_o more_o immediate_o and_o full_o connect_v with_o pardon_n and_o all_o other_o save_v benefit_n 2._o we_o must_v be_v make_v righteous_a by_o christ_n obedience_n in_o some_o way_n less_o remote_a than_o this_o 3._o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o hereby_o sufficient_o acknowledge_v nor_o apply_v in_o our_o justification_n many_o other_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v why_o i_o be_o convince_v that_o when_o god_n ustify_v a_o believe_a sinner_n the_o sentence_n respect_v he_o under_o some_o further_o judicial_a consideration_n than_o mere_o a_o believer_n and_o consequent_o the_o rule_n of_o judgement_n extensive_o take_v require_v somewhat_o more_o to_o constitute_v he_o a_o justifiable_a person_n §_o 7._o i_o therefore_o take_v the_o rule_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v the_o gospel-law_n in_o a_o subordinated_a connexion_n with_o the_o law_n of_o mediation_n wherein_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o creator_n govern_v we_o by_o the_o law_n of_o work_n be_v provide_v for_o and_o the_o end_n of_o that_o law_n fulfil_v and_o so_o the_o sentence_n will_v respect_v the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n too_o the_o first_o as_o satisfactory_a and_o meritorious_a with_o our_o injure_a create_v lawgiver_n the_o latter_a as_o the_o perform_v condition_n of_o the_o redeemer_n grant_n of_o the_o bless_a effect_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n and_o merit_n and_o whereby_o this_o man_n who_o believe_v be_v discriminate_v from_o such_o who_o reject_v the_o offer_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o first_o justice_n be_v satisfy_v that_o a_o rebel_n shall_v be_v absolve_v and_o glorify_v in_o the_o last_o the_o rule_n enact_v by_o govern_v grace_n be_v answer_v by_o the_o believer_n so_o that_o the_o judge_n be_v no_o more_o a_o respecter_n of_o person_n in_o apply_v these_o benefit_n as_o redeemer_n than_o he_o be_v regardless_o of_o govern_v justice_n in_o the_o condition_n upon_o which_o they_o be_v procure_v by_o our_o saviour_n §_o 8._o the_o rule_n of_o judgement_n than_o must_v be_v this_o that_o the_o believer_n though_o a_o sinner_n who_o absolution_n pardon_v acceptance_n as_o righteous_a and_o
