mr._n a._n do_v insiâ—â—nate_a that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v wrought_v for_o himself_o righteousness_n that_o he_o may_v by_o it_o be_v entitle_v to_o eternal_a life_n i_o will_v consider_v the_o import_n and_o tendency_n of_o such_o a_o assertion_n 1._o as_o for_o its_o import_n it_o can_v be_v any_o thing_n less_o than_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v once_o in_o a_o state_n of_o trial_n and_o make_v under_o the_o same_o law_n for_o himself_o that_o we_o be_v for_o ourselves_o and_o that_o obedience_n be_v require_v of_o he_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o merit_v eternal_a life_n for_o himself_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o when_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v propose_v for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o his_o obedience_n he_o have_v no_o right_a nor_o title_n to_o eternal_a life_n no_o not_o for_o himself_o but_o that_o to_o get_v a_o title_n thereunto_o he_o be_v under_o the_o obligation_n of_o the_o same_o law_n that_o we_o be_v and_o to_o speak_v most_o modest_o of_o mr._n a_n notion_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n god-man_n be_v antecedent_o to_o his_o render_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n which_o say_v do_v this_o and_o live_v he_o be_v as_o destitute_a of_o a_o right_n to_o eternal_a life_n as_o adam_n be_v on_o his_o first_o creation_n thus_o whilst_o he_o will_v fasten_v on_o the_o reporter_n the_o groundless_a charge_n of_o make_v christ_n destitute_a of_o 〈◊〉_d righteousness_n he_o make_v our_o bless_a lord_n destitute_a of_o eternal_a life_n ay_o of_o a_o right_a thereunto_o but_o leâ—_n we_o consider_v 2._o the_o

in_o the_o clear_a light_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o controversy_n be_v not_o whether_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v a_o rational_a creature_n be_v subject_a
