god_n ordain_v and_o christ_n procure_n and_o by_o faith_n be_v make_v we_o which_o be_v gospel_n righteousness_n and_o this_o righteousness_n we_o have_v before_o describe_v 3._o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n i_o propound_v to_o inquire_v into_o namely_o how_o any_o come_v to_o partake_v of_o this_o great_a mercy_n and_o benefit_n viz._n justification_n before_o god_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v obtain_v by_o perform_v the_o condition_n the_o gospel_n require_v which_o be_v faith_n in_o christ_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o the_o proposal_n of_o it_o conditional_a and_o christ_n with_o all_o his_o save_a benefit_n be_v propose_v to_o we_o upon_o term_n which_o we_o be_v to_o perform_v our_o saviour_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v we_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v style_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v require_v of_o we_o by_o it_o be_v call_v the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o to_o the_o revelation_n or_o history_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o faith_n that_o the_o scripture_n call_v a_o justify_v faith_n be_v a_o operative_a work_a faith_n a_o faith_n that_o include_v in_o its_o nature_n a_o suitable_a act_n and_o obedience_n this_o faith_n be_v never_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n as_o a_o bare_a believe_v and_o assent_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o opposition_n to_o act_v agreeable_o thereunto_o but_o as_o the_o grand_a principle_n of_o action_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o since_o abel_n time_n the_o spring_n of_o all_o religious_a action_n have_v be_v faith_n viz._n believe_v god_n and_o his_o promise_n and_o threaten_n the_o bare_a believe_v the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n or_o the_o bare_a profess_v of_o it_o without_o answerable_a walk_n and_o suitable_a obedience_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o save_v any_o man_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n be_v to_o be_v a_o sincere_a practical_a christian_a the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v righteous_a and_o not_o he_o that_o reckon_v himself_o so_o without_o righteous_a act_n upon_o the_o mere_a score_n of_o his_o believe_a or_o bare_a profession_n when_o paul_n say_v abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n we_o must_v suppose_v he_o to_o mean_v either_o such_o perfect_a sinless_a work_n as_o will_v in_o strict_a rule_n of_o justice_n make_v the_o reward_n to_o be_v a_o debt_n and_o such_o work_v abraham_n have_v not_o or_o el_fw-es e_fw-es such_fw-mi work_v as_o be_v depend_v on_o by_o the_o carnal_a jew_n as_o sufficient_a to_o procure_v their_o pardon_n and_o acceptance_n with_o god_n by_o their_o own_o inward_a work_n and_o merit_n these_o he_o disclaim_v and_o when_o he_o oppose_v work_n to_o grace_n he_o mean_v such_o work_n as_o be_v suppose_v to_o justify_v by_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o which_o put_v we_o out_o of_o need_n of_o grace_n but_o he_o know_v that_o justification_n be_v not_o now_o so_o attainable_a but_o by_o faith_n yet_o not_o by_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o good_a work_n as_o st._n james_n prove_v for_o by_o work_n say_v he_o faith_n be_v make_v perfect_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v true_a save_a faith_n comprise_v obedience_n in_o it_o and_o be_v not_o complete_a and_o perfect_a without_o it_o nor_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o in_o scripture_n be_v account_v for_o righteousness_n now_o abraham_n faith_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o it_o be_v so_o account_v with_o reference_n to_o that_o obedience_n that_o be_v virtual_o comprise_v in_o it_o and_o natural_o flow_v from_o it_o and_o that_o his_o faith_n comprise_v in_o it_o a_o suitable_a obedience_n be_v manifest_a else_o it_o will_v have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v esteem_v or_o account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n that_o it_o will_v rather_o have_v be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o hypocrisy_n it_o be_v true_a abraham_n can_v not_o pretend_v to_o a_o sinless_a perfection_n he_o have_v no_o such_o work_n to_o plead_v as_o be_v god_n justice-proof_n he_o have_v no_o such_o righteousness_n as_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o by_o its_o own_o intrinsic_a worth_n can_v justify_v he_o and_o denominate_v he_o a_o perfect_a righteous_a man_n have_v it_o be_v so_o it_o need_v not_o any_o favour_n to_o have_v be_v account_v for_o righteousness_n but_o god_n be_v please_v out_o of_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o favour_n so_o to_o reckon_v and_o account_v of_o it_o abraham_n faith_n therefore_o be_v a_o believe_v the_o revelation_n of_o the_o messi●h_n to_o come_v and_o of_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n obtainable_a by_o he_o and_o act_v suitable_o thereunto_o by_o a_o sincere_a though_o imperfect_a obedience_n this_o god_n do_v impute_v and_o account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n therefore_o paul_n never_o intend_v to_o exclude_v gospel_n work_n or_o such_o a_o sincere_a obedience_n as_o be_v natural_o consequent_a to_o a_o true_a and_o save_a faith_n and_o which_o be_v accept_v of_o mere_a grace_n and_o can_v pretend_v to_o any_o merit_n but_o he_o speak_v against_o such_o work_n as_o be_v depend_v on_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o which_o man_n pretend_v to_o claim_v justification_n as_o a_o reward_n just_o due_a to_o they_o in_o opposition_n to_o free_a grace_n now_o this_o gospel_n justification_n we_o have_v describe_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v such_o a_o justification_n by_o work_n as_o the_o jew_n seek_v after_o and_o st._n paul_n dispute_v against_o that_o it_o be_v a_o justification_n that_o result_v whole_o from_o grace_n and_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o christ_n purchase_n and_o of_o another_o covenant_n and_o all_o merit_n and_o reward_n that_o can_v be_v claim_v as_o a_o debt_n be_v utter_o exclude_v thereby_o abraham_n be_v not_o justify_v upon_o the_o term_n of_o the_o law_n viz._n sinless_a perfection_n but_o he_o be_v justify_v as_o one_o that_o have_v sin_n and_o fail_n about_o he_o which_o need_v forgiveness_n and_o so_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o gospel-way_n but_o it_o be_v by_o a_o operative_a faith_n which_o be_v productive_a of_o good_a work_n which_o work_n be_v not_o such_o as_o by_o any_o innate_a virtue_n in_o themselves_o do_v constitute_v he_o just_a but_o be_v the_o fruit_n and_o genuine_a offspring_n of_o his_o faith_n which_o rest_v on_o the_o promise_a messiah_n as_o the_o sole_a procurer_n of_o his_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n sinless_a work_n therefore_o we_o see_v be_v necessary_a under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n to_o obtain_v the_o reward_n as_o a_o just_a debt_n but_o sincere_a work_n be_v necessary_a under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o the_o genuine_a fruit_n of_o faith_n without_o which_o it_o be_v imperfect_a for_o if_o it_o be_v without_o work_n it_o be_v not_o true_a justify_v faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n james_n abundant_o prove_v 2._o we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o so_o apprehend_v of_o faith_n as_o if_o it_o have_v in_o itself_o any_o justify_v virtue_n or_o be_v of_o any_o innate_a worth_n to_o acquit_v we_o before_o god_n from_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o value_n of_o it_o be_v whole_o from_o god_n ordination_n and_o its_o relation_n to_o christ_n we_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n alone_o meritorious_o and_o by_o what_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v faith_n be_v but_o a_o conditional_a mean_n by_o which_o we_o come_v to_o reap_v the_o fruit_n and_o benefit_n of_o christ_n merit_n i'faith_o therefore_o and_o believe_v be_v the_o gospel_n condition_n let_v we_o further_o inquire_v what_o be_v comprehend_v in_o it_o 1._o then_o the_o way_n and_o method_n of_o god_n justify_v a_o sinner_n be_v found_v on_o the_o depth_n of_o his_o own_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o no_o way_n suit_v to_o the_o corrupt_a reason_n of_o a_o carnal_a mind_n god_n expect_v we_o shall_v full_o believe_v it_o and_o firm_o assent_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o and_o this_o in_o itself_o be_v a_o righteous_a act_n and_o so_o account_v of_o god_n firm_o to_o believe_v he_o and_o what_o he_o reveal_v to_o we_o 2._o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v thankful_o accept_v and_o acquiesce_v in_o and_o rely_v upon_o this_o way_n of_o justification_n which_o he_o tender_v to_o we_o without_o quarrel_v or_o dispute_v and_o that_o we_o shall_v receive_v christ_n in_o all_o his_o office_n as_o our_o prophet_n priest_n and_o king_n 3._o that_o we_o shall_v subject_v ourselves_o to_o all_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o our_o faith_n shall_v approve_v itself_o to_o be_v of_o the_o right_a kind_n by_o a_o suitable_a obedience_n objection_n

hence_o therefore_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o that_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v he_o pay_v by_o way_n of_o valuable_a consideration_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n the_o whole_a fabric_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v bottom_v upon_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n on_o our_o behalf_n we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v ransom_v redeem_v purchase_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n and_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v by_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n pay_v and_o by_o satisfaction_n make_v no_o work_n of_o our_o own_o can_v ever_o amount_v to_o such_o a_o purchase_n can_v man_n either_o have_v pefect_o keep_v the_o law_n or_o have_v sufficient_o answer_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o ex_fw-la post_fw-la f●cto_fw-la righteousness_n will_v have_v be_v that_o way_n and_o christ_n have_v not_o die_v 4._o christ_n active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n be_v reckon_v account_v and_o impute_v to_o those_o who_o perform_v the_o condition_n require_v of_o they_o in_o the_o gospel_n for_o their_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n and_o so_o be_v make_v they_o as_o to_o the_o benefit_n redound_v therefrom_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o impute_v to_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n with_o the_o selfsame_a active_a and_o passive_a righteousness_n wherewith_o christ_n be_v righteous_a or_o as_o if_o they_o have_v suffer_v in_o christ_n and_o obey_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v as_o righteous_a and_o innocent_a in_o god_n esteem_n as_o christ_n himself_o which_o some_o man_n dangerous_o presume_v and_o assert_v infer_v from_o thence_o that_o god_n see_v no_o sin_n in_o his_o child_n but_o all_o righteousness_n which_o be_v a_o wondeful_a mistake_n for_o no_o other_o person_n righteousness_n can_v otherwise_o become_v we_o or_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o than_o by_o the_o effect_n and_o advantage_n of_o it_o it_o can_v be_v a_o just_a judgement_n to_o adjudge_v we_o to_o have_v perform_v that_o ourselves_o which_o be_v actual_o do_v by_o another_o though_o do_v on_o our_o behalf_n and_o reckon_v to_o our_o benefit_n we_o be_v therefore_o judge_v righteous_a for_o not_o in_o the_o very_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n some_o indeed_o have_v conceive_v that_o christ_n active_a and_o passive_a righteousness_n be_v so_o make_v we_o by_o imputation_n as_o if_o we_o ourselves_o be_v account_v by_o god_n to_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v those_o very_a thing_n that_o christ_n himself_o in_o his_o own_o person_n do_v and_o suffer_v but_o how_o can_v it_o be_v suppose_v that_o god_n can_v account_v we_o to_o have_v do_v all_o that_o which_o christ_n do_v that_o be_v to_o have_v perform_v all_o righteousness_n without_o sin_n or_o to_o have_v suffer_v all_o that_o which_o christ_n suffer_v which_o in_o truth_n and_o reality_n we_o do_v not_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n be_v please_v that_o the_o whole_a of_o what_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v as_o to_o the_o effect_n and_o advantage_n of_o it_o shall_v redound_v to_o we_o and_o be_v for_o our_o good_a and_o benefit_n thus_o all_o that_o christ_n do_v and_o suffer_v be_v impute_v to_o we_o as_o do_v for_o we_o but_o not_o as_o do_v by_o we_o w._n we_o see_v a_o late_a learned_a treatise_n call_v justification_n evangelical_n by_o sr._n c._n w._n and_o thus_o christ_n be_v the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n and_o what_o can_v we_o desire_v more_o than_o to_o reap_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n whole_a undertake_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o it_o it_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n in_o our_o behalf_n to_o be_v pardon_v and_o justify_v sanctify_a and_o save_v and_o thus_o to_o have_v christ_n make_v to_o we_o of_o god_n as_o the_o fundamental_a cause_n procurer_n and_o spring_n of_o they_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o christ_n personal_a righteousness_n be_v not_o imputable_a to_o any_o creature_n otherwise_o than_o as_o to_o its_o operation_n fruit_n and_o effect_n each_o justify_v person_n righteousness_n before_o god_n be_v not_o identical_o and_o numerical_o the_o same_o with_o christ_n in_o his_o public_a capacity_n as_o mediator_n for_o then_o every_o justify_v person_n will_v be_v personal_o righteous_a with_o a_o righteousness_n that_o have_v a_o stock_n of_o merit_n in_o it_o sufficient_a to_o save_v the_o world_n which_o be_v very_o absurd_a to_o imagine_v but_o there_o be_v some_o that_o allege_v against_o what_o have_v here_o be_v assert_v these_o follow_a scripture_n 2_o cor._n 5.21_o god_n have_v make_v he_o to_o
