seedsman_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o heaven_n have_v provide_v why_o then_o strive_v to_o be_v upright_o in_o heart_n noah_n be_v a_o righteous_a preacher_n lot_n be_v just_a paul_n have_v a_o good_a

thou_o yet_o be_v not_o of_o this_o number_n we_o will_v give_v some_o true_a trial_n and_o note_n of_o upright_o and_o just_a man_n man_n first_o a_o upright_a man_n look_v backward_o and_o forward_o

beyond_o many_o and_o will_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o many_o for_o he_o so_o will_v not_o they_o make_v restitution_n and_o for_o time_n to_o come_v he_o will_v do_v to_o his_o brother_n as_o he_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o always_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n with_o every_o person_n in_o every_o action_n we_o have_v some_o that_o turn_v to_o their_o former_a course_n when_o as_o they_o have_v acknowledge_v their_o sin_n and_o make_v their_o neighbour_n satisfaction_n as_o the_o thief_n that_o when_o the_o sore_n be_v wear_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n and_o the_o print_n of_o the_o burn_a iron_n fall_v to_o filch_v but_o a_o honest_a heart_n will_v steal_v no_o more_o neither_o willing_o wrong_v any_o man_n either_o outward_o in_o action_n speech_n or_o

this_o he_o will_v proportion_v his_o alm_n according_a to_o his_o ability_n and_o the_o poor_a man_n necessity_n for_o the_o righteous_a measure_v all_o his_o affair_n by_o judgement_n thus_o much_o of_o his_o carriage_n towards_o man_n now_o follow_v trial_n or_o sign_n of_o his_o justice_n towards_o god_n first_o he_o will_v true_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n mercy_n he_o be_v not_o long_o ago_o for_o his_o sin_n consume_v again_o he_o mourn_v and_o weep_v that_o he_o have_v offend_v so_o good_a a_o god_n so_o merciful_a a_o father_n three_o he_o only_o rely_v upon_o the_o mere_a

and_o make_v he_o chief_a judge_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o he_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v just_a and_o love_v not_o iniquity_n neither_o will_v pervert_v judgement_n and_o this_o be_v the_o

be_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o just_a secret_a hide_v for_o the_o righteous_a we_o must_v understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a righteousness_n and_o that_o either_o personal_a or_o by_o imputation_n personal_a righteousness_n have_v in_o it_o two_o thing_n first_o integrity_n second_o conformity_n for_o there_o be_v one_o frame_n of_o the_o person_n another_o of_o his_o action_n integrity_n of_o nature_n must_v be_v in_o he_o that_o be_v personal_o righteous_a ult._n so_o be_v adam_n eve_n and_o christ_n by_o creation_n hence_o some_o conclude_v that_o only_o they_o three_o be_v create_v in_o the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o none_o other_o for_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n make_v man_n righteous_a righteous_a in_o respect_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o be_v and_o christ_n afterward_o as_o he_o be_v man_n for_o the_o spirit_n do_v overshadow_v the_o virgin_n and_o purify_v the_o matter_n and_o mass_n of_o which_o his_o humane_a body_n consist_v so_o that_o it_o be_v perfect_a and_o without_o the_o stain_n of_o the_o least_o original_a sin_n and_o again_o conformity_n of_o action_n be_v also_o of_o necessity_n to_o make_v a_o man_n personal_o and_o absolute_o righteous_a the_o first_o adam_n have_v the_o one_o but_o fail_v in_o the_o other_o therefore_o because_o he_o keep_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n he_o be_v never_o actual_o and_o personal_o righteous_a the_o second_o adam_n christ_n have_v both_o and_o so_o be_v able_a to_o abide_v the_o law_n yea_o the_o very_a rigour_n of_o it_o either_o for_o purity_n of_o nature_n or_o holiness_n of_o conversation_n and_o he_o only_o and_o none_o but_o he_o 1._o hence_o he_o be_v call_v jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a for_o he_o be_v righteous_a every_o manner_n of_o way_n and_o although_o the_o first_o may_v be_v without_o the_o second_o yet_o the_o second_o can_v be_v without_o the_o first_o because_o the_o latter_a as_o a_o effect_n spring_v and_o flow_v from_o the_o former_a as_o his_o true_a and_o proper_a cause_n ephes_n 4._o 24._o and_o thus_o have_v declare_v what_o personal_a righteousness_n be_v we_o come_v to_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o righteousness_n impute_v now_o impute_a righteousness_n be_v that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v not_o in_o man_n self_n or_o from_o himself_o but_o from_o and_o by_o another_o not_o by_o creation_n but_o imputation_n this_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v prefigure_v by_o the_o skin_n wherewith_o the_o lord_n after_o the_o fall_n clothe_v our_o first_o parent_n the_o body_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v for_o sacrifice_n the_o skin_n to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n that_o their_o own_o righteousness_n be_v like_o the_o figge-leave_n imperfect_a and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v justify_v another_o way_n yet_o however_o that_o be_v paul_n be_v plain_a for_o this_o distribution_n of_o double_a righteousness_n for_o say_v he_o i_o labour_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o my_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o the_o

we_o be_v to_o note_v two_o thing_n in_o righteousness_n impute_v first_o what_o it_o be_v that_o make_v righteous_a second_o how_o or_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o this_o that_o make_v we_o righteous_a the_o thing_n or_o matter_n be_v christ_n and_o his_o obedience_n christ_n be_v make_v our_o righteousness_n etc._n etc._n 1._o cor._n 1._o 30._o and_o we_o must_v have_v both_o his_o person_n and_o action_n to_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o our_o justification_n for_o we_o be_v conceive_v in_o sin_n therefore_o we_o must_v have_v a_o righteousness_n to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o the_o law_n in_o that_o for_o the_o part_n of_o divinity_n at_o the_o creation_n seem_v to_o be_v holiness_n of_o nature_n and_o perfection_n of_o life_n so_o that_o this_o rule_n be_v just_a and_o good_a must_v be_v full_o satisfy_v either_o by_o ourselves_o or_o some_o other_o else_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v justify_v or_o save_v again_o i_o say_v his_o obedience_n must_v

ground_n of_o this_o error_n have_v its_o beginning_n from_o misunderstanding_n of_o personal_a righteousness_n for_o adam_n be_v just_a by_o creation_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o essential_a

will_v restore_v we_o to_o that_o estate_n from_o which_o we_o fall_v in_o adam_n and_o that_o be_v of_o enemy_n to_o make_v we_o friend_n and_o to_o heal_v meritorious_o our_o wound_a nature_n but_o
