7.7_o rom._n 3.20_o rom._n 7.7_o and_o say_v i_o have_v not_o know_v sin_n but_o by_o the_o law_n for_o i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v

condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o we_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o teach_v object_n that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n sanctification_n his_o holiness_n therefore_o be_v we_o he_o

say_v to_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o sanctification_n three_o manner_n of_o way_n 1._o imputatiuè_fw-fr by_o way_n of_o imputation_n 2._o meritory_n by_o way_n of_o merit_n 3._o effectiuè_fw-fr efficient_o or_o effectual_o work_v it_o in_o we_o the_o first_o of_o these_o mr._n s._n make_v choice_n of_o and_o pitch_v upon_o for_o he_o will_v have_v christ_n holy_a obedience_n to_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o for_o our_o sanctification_n now_o i_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o indeed_o 5.19_o rom._n 5.19_o but_o for_o our_o justification_n not_o for_o our_o sanctification_n for_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o that_o be_v of_o jesus_n christ_n many_o be_v justify_v or_o make_v righteous_a again_o if_o christ_n holiness_n shall_v be_v impute_v unto_o we_o for_o our_o sanctification_n than_o sanctification_n shall_v not_o be_v inherent_a in_o we_o but_o external_a and_o without_o we_o as_o our_o justification_n be_v and_o last_o then_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o real_a difference_n between_o our_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n neither_o shall_v they_o be_v different_a grace_n but_o altogether_o the_o same_o for_o wherein_o consist_v our_o justification_n but_o in_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n holy_a obedience_n unto_o we_o now_o if_o our_o sanctification_n do_v consist_v in_o this_o also_o 13.12_o heb._n 10.29_o &_o 13.12_o what_o real_a difference_n will_v there_o be_v between_o they_o i_o do_v indeed_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v now_o and_o then_o make_v no_o real_a difference_n between_o sanctification_n and_o justification_n for_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n say_v ordinary_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o blood_n where_o i_o conceive_v that_o sanctification_n be_v either_o put_v for_o justification_n or_o at_o the_o least_o that_o justification_n be_v include_v in_o it_o as_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v merit_v both_o our_o justification_n and_o our_o sanctification_n 2._o in_o this_o sense_n i_o do_v willing_o grant_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o sanctification_n that_o be_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o passion_n purchase_v it_o and_o by_o his_o blood_n wash_v away_o the_o spot_n of_o sin_n that_o do_v adhere_v to_o our_o sanctification_n 3_o and_o last_o i_o do_v also_o acknowledge_v as_o all_o orthodox_n protestant_n do_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o sanctification_n not_o only_o meritorieé_v by_o way_n of_o merit_n sed_fw-la effectiué_fw-fr but_o efficient_o also_o because_o by_o his_o spirit_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v of_o his_o father_n he_o do_v sanctify_v we_o or_o effect_n and_o work_v holiness_n in_o we_o and_o thus_o as_o i_o take_v it_o i_o have_v clear_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n and_o make_v it_o manifest_v that_o he_o have_v no_o intent_n to_o teach_v that_o christ_n believe_v for_o we_o and_o obey_v the_o gospel_n for_o we_o in_o that_o sense_n as_o mr._n s._n take_v his_o word_n when_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n sanctification_n sect_n 5._o although_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v offer_v unto_o sinner_n yet_o they_o have_v no_o right_n nor_o interest_n in_o they_o unless_o they_o do_v receive_v they_o let_v we_o now_o examine_v another_o of_o mr._n s._n his_o argument_n whereby_o he_o go_v about_o ro_o prove_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v belong_v to_o sinner_n as_o sinner_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o condition_n of_o faith_n nor_o of_o repentance_n require_v of_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o salvation_n through_o christ_n what_o say_v he_o be_v the_o church_n of_o the_o corinthian_n object_n ephesian_n colossian_n and_o what_o be_v paul_n before_o christ_n come_v to_o he_o be_v they_o sinner_n or_o qualify_v and_o what_o be_v all_o that_o believe_v before_o they_o believe_v answ_n they_o be_v sinner_n it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v so_o but_o though_o the_o promise_n be_v then_o offer_v unto_o they_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o then_o belong_v to_o they_o nor_o have_v they_o any_o interest_n in_o they_o until_o they_o receive_v they_o but_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2.12_o eph._n 2.12_o they_o be_v stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n and_o so_o shall_v have_v remain_v &_o continue_v for_o ever_o have_v they_o reject_v they_o as_o do_v the_o jew_n and_o some_o other_o citizen_n of_o antioch_n in_o pisidia_n when_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n preach_v 13.46_o act._n 13.46_o and_o offer_v christ_n unto_o they_o brief_o therefore_o i_o do_v reason_n thus_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o those_o to_o who_o they_o be_v make_v and_o not_o to_o any_o other_o but_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v remission_n

to_o any_o other_o therefore_o none_o have_v any_o right_n to_o these_o promise_n but_o such_o believer_n and_o repentant_a sinner_n death_n object_n this_o be_v write_v before_o mr._n s._n his_o
