formal_o righteous_a by_o
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 either_o in_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o in_o good_a action_n that_o be_v it_o be_v either_o habitual_a or_o actual_a so_o that_o it_o can_v stand_v in_o imputation_n by_o which_o we_o can_v no_o more_o be_v just_o formal_o than_o wife_n rich_a alive_a by_o imputation_n of_o wisdom_n riches_n and_o life_n wherefore_o i_o marvel_v how_o they_o can_v be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o conceive_v so_o absurd_o of_o we_o but_o we_o teach_v that_o christ_n righteousness_n both_o habitual_a and_o actual_a by_o which_o he_o be_v formal_o just_a be_v the_o matter_n and_o the_o

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 of_o justification_n we_o say_v then_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n itself_o be_v not_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n or_o that_o by_o which_o we_o be_v formal_o just_a

by_o imputation_n so_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o his_o righteousness_n not_o formal_o as_o we_o be_v justify_v or_o in_o ourselves_o but_o in_o he_o viz._n by_o imputation_n and_o again_o as_o

the_o death_n of_o christ_n viz._n remission_n of_o sin_n five_o that_o not_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n itself_o be_v impute_v whether_o active_a or_o passive_a but_o the_o merit_n thereof_o six_o that_o not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n but_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n be_v impute_v for_o righteousness_n all_o which_o before_o i_o see_v the_o book_n wherein_o these_o error_n be_v broach_v i_o have_v plain_o and_o full_o confute_v in_o this_o treatise_n §_o iv._o for_o as_o touch_v the_o two_o first_o and_o the_o main_a error_n itself_o six_o i_o have_v prove_v both_o in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n etc._n brief_o and_o in_o the_o whole_a five_o book_n at_o large_a that_o the_o form_n of_o justification_n be_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n by_o which_o we_o be_v both_o absolve_v from_o our_o sin_n and_o also_o be_v in_o christ_n accept_v and_o make_v righteous_a and_o consequent_o that_o these_o two_o be_v the_o essential_a part_n of_o §._o justification_n viz._n the_o not_o impute_v or_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o god_n do_v grant_v by_o imputation_n of_o christ_n suffering_n in_o respect_n whereof_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o 9_o blood_n that_o be_v free_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o damnation_n and_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n 19_o obedience_n by_o which_o we_o be_v make_v or_o constitute_v righteous_a and_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n so_o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o form_n and_o much_o less_o the_o entire_a form_n of_o justification_n consider_v as_o a_o action_n of_o god_n but_o a_o effect_n of_o the_o form_n because_o by_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_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

speak_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o papist_n who_o say_v that_o to_o justification_n concur_v not_o only_a remission_n of_o sin_n but_o also_o inward_a renovation_n or_o sanctification_n to_o contradict_v they_o our_o divine_n have_v say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o remission_n only_o or_o not_o impute_v of_o sin_n wherewith_o always_o concur_v imputation_n of_o righteousness_n and_o not_o by_o renovation_n or_o sanctification_n their_o meaning_n therefore_o by_o the_o exclusive_a particle_n only_o be_v to_o exclude_v not_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n which_o unseparable_o

all_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o to_o his_o active_a obedience_n and_o justification_n be_v nothing_o as_o they_o say_v but_o remission_n of_o sin_n whereupon_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o chriâ—…ts_n passive_a obedience_n which_o i_o have_v already_o disprove_v error_n §_o vi_o the_o four_o deny_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n itself_o to_o be_v our_o righteousness_n i_o have_v full_o confute_v in_o the_o four_o book_n beside_o that_o which_o have_v already_o be_v allege_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n that_o which_o be_v add_v concern_v a_o righteousness_n purchase_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o i_o confute_v chap._n 4._o §_o 1._o for_o our_o righteousness_n be_v not_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o that_o by_o which_o we_o have_v remission_n not_o justification_n itself_o but_o that_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o justification_n itself_o be_v a_o action_n of_o god_n not_o impute_v sin_n and_o impute_v righteousness_n
and_o therefore_o be_v not_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v impute_v thus_o therefore_o i_o argue_v by_o what_o we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o by_o what_o we_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v our_o righteousness_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o not_o by_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v purchase_v by_o his_o blood_n viz._n remission_n of_o sin_n for_o that_o to_o say_v be_v very_o ridiculous_a wherefore_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v justify_v and_o consequent_o that_o with_o the_o resâ—…_n of_o his_o obedience_n be_v our_o righteousness_n §_o vii_o to_o the_o five_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o meritorious_a obedience_n of_o error_n christ_n both_o active_a and_o passive_a be_v the_o merit_n of_o christ._n if_o therefore_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n be_v impute_v than_o his_o meritorious_a obedience_n neither_o can_v the_o merit_n of_o christ_n obedience_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o unless_o the_o obedience_n itself_o be_v impute_v and_o by_o imputation_n accept_v of_o god_n for_o we_o as_o perform_v by_o ourselves_o for_o as_o the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n transgression_n

two_o respect_n for_o first_o they_o hold_v that_o to_o justify_v in_o this_o question_n signify_v to_o make_v righteous_a by_o righteousness_n inherent_a or_o by_o infusion_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o sanctify_v second_o they_o make_v remission_n of_o sin_n not_o to_o be_v the_o pardon_v and_o forgive_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o utter_a deletion_n or_o expulsion_n of_o sin_n by_o

they_o make_v to_o concur_v to_o justification_n which_o with_o they_o be_v partly_o privative_a which_o they_o call_v remission_n of_o sin_n whereby_o they_o understand_v the_o utter_a deletion_n

the_o practice_n of_o good_a work_n whereby_o they_o merit_v not_o only_o the_o increase_n of_o righteousness_n but_o also_o the_o crown_n of_o eternal_a life_n §_o iii_o of_o this_o first_o

to_o make_v holy_a by_o holiness_n inherent_a so_o to_o justify_v be_v to_o make_v just_a by_o infusion_n of_o righteousness_n but_o though_o the_o notation_n of_o the_o latin_a word_n be_v to_o be_v

god_n make_v man_n just_a two_o way_n by_o imputation_n as_o he_o justify_v by_o infusion_n as_o he_o sanctify_v they_o for_o if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v make_v just_a not_o only_o inward_o by_o

to_o the_o two_o former_a bellarmine_n answer_v the_o three_o be_v unanswerable_a and_o maintain_v the_o contrary_a assertion_n set_v down_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n thus_o whether_o man_n

the_o negative_a the_o papist_n who_o be_v no_o heretic_n hold_v the_o affirmative_a who_o assertion_n he_o set_v down_o in_o three_o article_n first_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o just_a man_n be_v absolute_o possible_a not_o indeed_o by_o the_o only_a strength_n of_o nature_n but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o divine_a grace_n second_o that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v simple_o
