of_o make_v the_o child_n of_o god_n perfect_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o to_o instance_n in_o privative_a contrary_n if_o the_o sun_n break_v into_o a_o dark_a house_n and_o

with_o his_o son_n righteousness_n that_o it_o make_v we_o in_o his_o sight_n perfect_o holy_a and_o righteous_a than_o all_o our_o sin_n must_v needs_o be_v abolish_v out_o of_o his_o sight_n if_o

to_o use_v the_o word_n abound_v in_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n above_o adam_n less_o than_o four_o time_n in_o the_o late_a part_n of_o that_o five_o chapter_n say_v that_o although_o through_o

dishonour_v the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o second_o adam_n this_o comparison_n between_o christ_n and_o adam_n do_v luther_n also_o strong_o press_v for_o the_o strengthen_n of_o faith_n say_v thus_o for_o as_o we_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o we_o be_v all_o sinner_n and_o be_v constrain_v to_o say_v that_o through_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n we_o be_v all_o lose_v be_v make_v the_o

not_o deny_v but_o that_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o he_o may_v make_v we_o righteous_a for_o he_o die_v not_o to_o justify_v the_o righteous_a but_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o to_o make_v they_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o inheritor_n of_o all_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a blessing_n therefore_o when_o i_o feel_v and_o confess_v myself_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n through_o adam_n

and_o evil_n that_o otherwise_o will_v follow_v this_o distrust_n brief_o and_o plain_o express_v by_o luther_n say_v thus_o except_o thou_o do_v believe_v above_o thy_o sense_n and_o feeling_n and_o confess_v that_o thou_o be_v thus_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n thou_o do_v great_a injury_n to_o christ_n who_o have_v make_v thou_o clean_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o water_n through_o the_o word_n who_o also_o die_v upon_o the_o â—rosse_n condemn_a sin_n and_o kill_v death_n that_o through_o he_o thou_o may_v obtain_v righteousness_n and_o everlasting_a life_n these_o thing_n thou_o can_v not_o deny_v except_o thou_o will_v open_o show_v thyself_o to_o be_v wicked_a and_o blasphemous_a against_o god_n and_o utter_o to_o despise_v god_n and_o all_o his_o promise_n jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o his_o benefit_n and_o so_o consequent_o thou_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o thou_o be_v righteous_a now_o concern_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n object_n namely_o that_o we_o feel_v so_o great_a unworthiness_n in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o dare_v not_o assume_v so_o great_a glory_n to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v make_v so_o perfect_o and_o glorious_o holy_a and_o righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o that_o we_o be_v only_o and_o mere_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o sight_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v again_o with_o luther_n that_o there_o answ_n be_v two_o great_a cause_n beside_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o devil_n why_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o so_o receive_v this_o precious_a gift_n first_o the_o inestimable_a greatness_n of_o the_o gift_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o and_o because_o this_o incomparable_a treasure_n be_v free_o offer_v therefore_o it_o be_v despise_v and_o second_o because_o as_o luther_n true_o say_v in_o another_o place_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n speak_v of_o far_o other_o matter_n than_o any_o book_n of_o policy_n or_o philosophy_n yea_o or_o the_o very_a book_n of_o moses_n himself_o to_o wit_n of_o the_o unspeakable_a and_o most_o divine_a gift_n of_o god_n which_o far_o pass_v the_o capacity_n and_o understanding_n both_o of_o man_n and_o angel_n whereby_o the_o inestimable_a riches_n a_o threefold_a remedy_n against_o fear_n of_o apply_v so_o great_a riches_n greatness_n of_o god_n bounty_n in_o the_o gift_n engender_v in_o we_o a_o hardness_n to_o believe_v it_o but_o for_o this_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a remedy_n able_a to_o strengthen_v we_o effectual_o in_o faith_n the_o first_o be_v express_v by_o luther_n say_v after_o this_o manner_n we_o must_v not_o weigh_v so_o much_o how_o great_a the_o thing_n be_v that_o be_v give_v and_o how_o unworthy_a we_o be_v of_o it_o for_o so_o shall_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o gift_n and_o our_o unworthiness_n terrify_v we_o but_o we_o must_v principal_o consider_v first_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o second_o that_o
