ever_o all_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v this_o be_v the_o only_a purgatory_n say_v these_o blood_n our_o only_a purgatory_n be_v christ_n blood_n first_o restorer_n of_o the_o gospel_n among_o we_o

that_o this_o spiritual_a clothing_n with_o christ_n righteousness_n do_v so_o real_o make_v we_o righteous_a that_o only_o that_o give_v we_o the_o name_n of_o true_o just_a and_o righteous_a person_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a by_o that_o often_o repeat_v axiom_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o just_a by_o faith_n shall_v live_v for_o although_o some_o do_v darken_v the_o

yet_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o greek_a be_v that_o by_o faith_n shall_v be_v join_v with_o the_o subject_n just_o as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v they_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n make_v just_a shall_v live_v for_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o the_o righteousness_n that_o save_v we_o be_v offer_v only_o in_o the_o

this_o righteousness_n that_o true_o make_v he_o just_a and_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n he_o confirm_v the_o same_o by_o the_o prophet_n habakuk_n say_v the_o just_a by_o faith_n shall_v live_v wherein_o he_o teach_v two_o thing_n evident_o first_o that_o it_o be_v faith_n only_o embrace_v and_o apply_v the_o righteousness_n reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o make_v a_o man_n

christian_a godly_a life_n in_o this_o world_n and_o then_o to_o eternal_a glory_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v so_o that_o the_o apostle_n liken_n this_o righteousness_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o if_o a_o christian_a have_v two_o soul_n in_o he_o first_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n and_o second_o as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n his_o soul_n as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n be_v his_o

godly_a christian_a life_n in_o this_o world_n and_o also_o make_v he_o to_o live_v unto_o eternal_a glory_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o as_o the_o physician_n say_v that_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v they_o that_o knit_v and_o combine_v the_o soul_n and_o body_n together_o so_o faith_n be_v like_o those_o vital_a spirit_n that_o combine_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o

here_o describe_v have_v not_o only_o the_o name_n and_o imaginary_a count_v but_o also_o the_o essential_a be_v of_o a_o person_n perfect_o just_a and_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n free_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v call_v by_o no_o other_o name_n in_o all_o the_o psalm_n and_o whole_a word_n of_o god_n more_o common_o than_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o righteous_a just_a and_o saint_n because_o they_o way_n believer_n be_v saint_n two_o way_n be_v so_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o they_o be_v righteous_a just_a and_o saint_n to_o

otherwise_o it_o be_v no_o righteousness_n to_o god-ward_o which_o can_v love_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a but_o the_o second_o way_n to_o manward_n be_v unperfect_a which_o yet_o be_v do_v in_o sincerity_n be_v sufficient_a for_o man_n that_o be_v unperfect_a and_o therefore_o because_o this_o late_a way_n be_v so_o exceed_v imperfect_a both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n reveal_v in_o the_o law_n as_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o god_n righteous_a nature_n describe_v in_o the_o law_n that_o love_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a in_o his_o sight_n therefore_o all_o those_o large_a promise_n make_v in_o the_o psalm_n and_o old_a testament_n unto_o the_o righteous_a can_v be_v understand_v as_o the_o papist_n conceive_v of_o the_o saint_n inherent_a righteousness_n because_o david_n that_o have_v so_o great_a a_o measure_n of_o inherent_a righteousness_n cry_v out_o that_o by_o this_o inherent_a righteousness_n shall_v none_o be_v find_v
from_o the_o former_a yet_o he_o place_v our_o true_a justification_n and_o the_o make_n of_o we_o righteous_a to_o god-ward_o in_o the_o former_a thus_o say_v zanchie_a but_o in_o another_o place_n he_o show_v that_o this_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n yet_o more_o plain_o namely_o upon_o those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o christ_n die_v in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n to_o make_v we_o holy_a and_o unblameable_a and_o without_o fault_n in_o god_n sight_n colos_n 1._o 22._o he_o say_v thus_o 22._o zanchie_a on_o colos_n 1._o 22._o here_o we_o have_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n which_o be_v holiness_n of_o life_n and_o true_a righteousness_n by_o which_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o

and_o holiness_n of_o life_n begin_v in_o we_o because_o that_o be_v unperfect_a as_o david_n himself_o say_v enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n for_o no_o flesh_n be_v righteous_a in_o thy_o sight_n only_o the_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n of_o christ_n be_v perfect_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o be_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n thus_o it_o be_v sufficient_o show_v what_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n make_v we_o thus_o perfect_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v now_o let_v we_o mark_v a_o little_a the_o excellency_n of_o it_o both_o in_o the_o nature_n and_o in_o the_o operation_n of_o it_o first_o concern_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o although_o operation_n 2_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o formal_a cause_n be_v both_o in_o the_o nature_n and_o operation_n that_o do_v show_v the_o excellency_n of_o it_o which_o be_v say_v before_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v a_o obedience_n and_o a_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n in_o all_o point_v absolute_a yea_o and_o a_o perfect_a everlasting_a righteousness_n yet_o the_o thing_n that_o show_v it_o to_o be_v exceed_o

the_o righteousness_n of_o that_o person_n that_o be_v not_o only_a man_n but_o also_o god_n for_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v call_v often_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o righteousness_n of_o

of_o god_n not_o only_o because_o god_n be_v the_o free_a giver_n of_o it_o and_o because_o god_n himself_o approve_v of_o it_o as_o the_o only_a man_n 1_o because_o of_o the_o person_n both_o god_n

efficacy_n as_o it_o be_v plain_o testify_v by_o the_o learned_a dispenser_n of_o god_n mystery_n say_v thus_o this_o righteousness_n be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o because_o god_n by_o give_v the_o same_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v righteous_a that_o be_v faithful_a and_o true_a and_o because_o it_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o man_n but_o also_o because_o it_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o that_o person_n that_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o therefore_o a_o far_o more_o excellent_a righteousness_n many_o way_n than_o that_o which_o adam_n have_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n for_o that_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o mere_a man_n this_o be_v the_o
