have_v entrance_n into_o heaven_n by_o his_o resurrection_n ascension_n and_o intercession_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o his_o obedience_n by_o which_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v as_o the_o apostle_n

all_o other_o mean_v out_o of_o christ_n who_o be_v our_o only_a saviour_n his_o second_o argument_n sablata_fw-la privatione_fw-la ponitur_fw-la habitus_fw-la therefore_o sin_n be_v remit_v and_o

indeed_o be_v very_a sound_n in_o this_o point_n do_v all_o of_o they_o place_n justification_n in_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n which_o assertion_n of_o they_o be_v most_o true_a

that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o out_o of_o we_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v absurd_a for_o as_o themselves_o expound_v the_o phrase_n 4._o formal_a justice_n consist_v

that_o christ_n obedience_n or_o fulfil_v of_o the_o law_n be_v the_o 3_o material_a cause_n of_o justification_n and_o the_o application_n or_o imputation_n thereof_o be_v the_o 9_o formal_a cause_n

neither_o be_v it_o the_o whole_a benefit_n of_o justification_n but_o a_o part_n thereof_o for_o although_o many_o of_o our_o divine_n as_o have_v be_v say_v have_v teach_v that_o unto_o

for_o we_o profess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o faithful_a or_o justify_v man_n in_o who_o there_o be_v not_o inherent_a righteousness_n more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n

some_o etc._n a_o when_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o untie_v this_o gordian_a knot_n have_v seek_v with_o alexander_n to_o cut_v it_o by_o question_v without_o just_a cause_n the_o authority_n of_o

to_o our_o doctrine_n not_o only_o may_v well_o stand_v together_o but_o also_o of_o necessity_n must_v go_v together_o for_o the_o first_o we_o have_v the_o same_o controversy_n with_o the_o papist_n
