as_o david_n describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n etc._n etc._n say_v bless_a be_v they_o who_o iniquity_n be_v forgive_v

god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n have_v his_o sin_n forgive_v he_o therefore_o he_o be_v bless_v now_o how_o can_v this_o assumption_n hold_v if_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v two_o distinct_a act_n for_o not_o impute_v righteousness_n be_v not_o to_o bring_v in_o light_n which_o keep_v out_o darkness_n but_o observe_v the_o apostle_n to_o

christ_n god_n be_v well_o please_v with_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o son_n both_o active_a and_o passive_a as_o that_o he_o take_v we_o to_o be_v in_o that_o state_n for_o his_o sake_n as_o if_o

be_v and_o it_o be_v demand_v of_o he_o what_o he_o have_v to_o say_v for_o himself_o why_o he_o shall_v not_o die_v and_o then_o this_o justification_n by_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v oppose_v to_o condemnation_n then_o justification_n by_o faith_n be_v that_o when_o i_o come_v to_o stand_v before_o god_n though_o conscience_n say_v i_o be_o guilty_a of_o a_o thousand_o sin_n yet_o i_o may_v go_v bold_o and_o plead_v my_o pardon_n which_o will_v acquit_v i_o as_o if_o i_o have_v never_o sin_v at_o any_o time_n god_n be_v thus_o in_o christ_n reconcile_n we_o the_o world_n unto_o himself_o not_o impute_v their_o sin_n unto_o they_o now_o sin_n be_v a_o thing_n past_a which_o be_v do_v can_v be_v make_v undo_v the_o sin_n remain_v still_o murder_n be_v murder_v still_o and_o

but_o by_o not_o impute_v his_o sin_n unto_o he_o so_o that_o god_n shall_v account_v it_o to_o he_o as_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v do_v at_o all_o by_o he_o he_o put_v it_o upon_o christ_n account_n account_v the_o word_n be_v use_v in_o the_o epist._n to_o philemon_n where_o st._n paul_n say_v if_o he_o have_v wrong_v thou_o or_o owe_v thou_o aught_o put_v that_o on_o my_o account_n a_o man_n sin_n be_v thus_o put_v upon_o christ_n account_n he_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n as_o free_o as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o owe_v he_o any_o thing_n or_o as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o offend_v he_o now_o this_o be_v do_v by_o transfer_v the_o debt_n from_o one_o person_n to_o another_o so_o that_o we_o see_v this_o imputation_n of_o sin_n to_o christ_n and_o of_o christ_n righteousness_n to_o we_o be_v most_o necessary_a it_o must_v be_v so_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o testimony_n for_o it_o in_o scripture_n yet_o reason_n show_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o righteousness_n but_o by_o god_n acceptation_n of_o we_o in_o christ_n as_o if_o we_o have_v never_o sin_v there_o be_v the_o difference_n then_o to_o he_o that_o work_v not_o but_o believe_v in_o he_o that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a his_o faith_n be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o do_v god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a that_o be_v a_o hard_a speech_n we_o read_v in_o the_o proverb_n he_o that_o justify_v the_o wicked_a and_o condemn_v the_o just_a even_o they_o both_o be_v abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n but_o here_o we_o must_v understand_v this_o as_o we_o do_v some_o other_o scripture_n we_o read_v in_o john_n that_o the_o blind_a see_v the_o lame_a walk_n the_o dumb_a speak_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v blind_a and_o see_v to_o be_v dumb_a and_o speak_v all_o at_o once_o yet_o take_v the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n suppose_v paul_n and_o he_o be_v so_o in_o his_o own_o account_n but_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n alter_v he_o god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a that_o be_v him_z that_o be_v even_o now_o so_o but_o by_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n he_o be_v make_v righteous_a that_o be_v righteous_a in_o god_n account_n but_o in_o proceed_v in_o this_o point_n i_o do_v reflect_v a_o little_a back_n god_n find_v a_o man_n with_o a_o number_n of_o sin_n full_a of_o sin_n and_o forgive_v these_o sin_n now_o i_o demand_v this_o how_o far_o do_v this_o justification_n and_o forgiveness_n extend_v to_o sin_n past_o alone_a or_o to_o sin_n past_a and_o to_o come_v and_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o must_v consider_v this_o matter_n two_o way_n first_o to_o justify_v a_o man_n person_n simple_o and_o then_o to_o justify_v a_o man_n from_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a act_n the_o phrase_n be_v use_v in_o scripture_n act_v 13.39_o and_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o we_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n there_o be_v justification_n from_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n there_o be_v first_o justification_n of_o a_o man_n person_n he_o that_o be_v a_o enemy_n be_v now_o make_v a_o friend_n he_o be_v now_o no_o long_o a_o stranger_n at_o home_n but_o be_v in_o the_o list_n or_o god_n household_n now_o this_o we_o say_v no_o soon_o do_v a_o man_n receive_v it_o but_o the_o selfsame_a hour_n that_o he_o receive_v it_o the_o bond_n be_v cancel_v the_o evidence_n be_v tear_v and_o fasten_v to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o hang_v up_o among_o the_o record_n whereas_o before_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n against_o we_o and_o will_v have_v lie_v heavy_a on_o we_o at_o the_o bar_n but_o now_o it_o be_v fasten_v to_o the_o cross_n as_o a_o cancel_v record_n the_o bond_n be_v become_v void_a second_o but_o now_o when_o we_o consider_v justification_n from_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a act_n i_o declare_v that_o so_o a_o man_n be_v only_o justify_v from_o sin_n past_a for_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o scripture_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v justify_v from_o sin_n to_o come_v for_o scripture_n the_o apostle_n have_v it_o rom._n 3.25_o who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o say_v in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v past_a through_o the_o forbearance_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v clear_a also_o from_o the_o nature_n
