that_o the_o particular_a accusation_n under_o the_o forego_n head_n do_v infer_v a_o pernicious_a design_n against_o the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n viz._n 1._o that_o this_o righteousness_n take_v not_o in_o the_o active_a as_o well_o as_o the_o passive_a obedience_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o principle_n which_o have_v be_v late_o mint_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o current_n of_o orthodox_n writer_n to_o the_o various_a confession_n of_o faith_n of_o the_o protestant_n since_o the_o reformation_n and_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o have_v be_v already_o prove_v in_o part_n therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v this_o follow_a argument_n 1._o the_o law_n of_o god_n must_v be_v either_o satisfy_v or_o defeat_v in_o its_o intent_n and_o to_o defeat_v the_o intent_n of_o such_o a_o holy_a righteous_a just_a law_n be_v antinomianism_n with_o a_o witness_n which_o put_v a_o great_a affront_n upon_o the_o lawgiver_n 2_o the_o primary_n intent_n of_o god_n law_n be_v perfect_a obedience_n and_o without_o perfect_a obedience_n the_o law_n of_o god_n can_v be_v satisfy_v 3_o unless_o the_o law_n can_v be_v satisfy_v there_o be_v no_o man_n live_a can_v be_v justify_v according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o it_o and_o unless_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v he_o can_v be_v save_v 4_o there_o be_v no_o sinner_n can_v plead_v satisfaction_n make_v unto_o it_o in_o his_o own_o proper_a person_n therefore_o he_o must_v plead_v the_o satisfaction_n give_v by_o his_o surety_n and_o representative_a in_o his_o stead_n who_o full_o satisfy_v as_o well_o the_o demand_n of_o it_o as_o the_o penalty_n therefore_o through_o faith_n we_o establish_v the_o law_n rom._n 3._o 31._o and_o give_v it_o the_o high_a honour_n by_o offer_v to_o the_o lawgiver_n the_o perfect_a and_o godlike_a obedience_n of_o his_o son_n thereunto_o 2_o this_o last_o head_n seem_v to_o have_v a_o bad_a intent_n to_o eclipse_v god_n act_n of_o imputation_n by_o which_o this_o righteousness_n be_v so_o make_v over_o to_o we_o for_o our_o high_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n as_o if_o we_o ourselves_o have_v wrought_v it_o out_o all_o this_o result_v to_o

the_o first_o union_n god_n the_o second_o person_n be_v equal_a with_o the_o father_n and_o so_o the_o three_o coequal_a with_o the_o two_o former_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o second_o union_n the_o

this_o to_o any_o believer_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o three_o union_n it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o say_v we_o be_v god_v with_o god_n chri_v with_o christ_n or_o that_o we_o become_v saviour_n and_o
