to_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o do_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n lie_v down_o this_o conclusion_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n ver._n 28._o and_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n he_o lay_v down_o this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n ver._n 4._o that_o be_v perfect_a work_n such_o as_o man_n may_v glory_v in_o

be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o work_n the_o other_o be_v this_o a_o justify_v man_n be_v a_o pardon_v one_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n for_o perfect_a obedience_n leave_v no_o room_n at_o all_o for_o a_o pardon_n touch_v the_o first_o i_o shall_v first_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o

christ_n righteousness_n answer_v to_o the_o law_n here_o i_o crave_v leave_n to_o set_v down_o the_o word_n of_o a_o excellent_a person_n though_o different_a from_o myself_o in_o this_o point_n

be_v take_v in_o conjunction_n with_o its_o object_n appear_v thus_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o three_o chapter_n prove_v that_o as_o to_o the_o law_n every_o mouth_n must_v be_v stop_v that_o all_o

who_o mention_n the_o imputation_n of_o faith_n ver._n 5._o in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n mention_n also_o the_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n ver._n 6._o it_o be_v true_a both_o be_v but_o one_o in_o
