do_v believe_v in_o god_n that_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o give_v he_o glory_n that_o your_o faith_n and_o hope_n may_v be_v in_o god_n 2._o cor._n 5.21_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o etc._n etc._n but_o it_o say_v not_o that_o our_o believe_v thus_o much_o only_o be_v the_o full_a condition_n of_o our_o interest_n in_o his_o righteousness_n but_o contrary_o express_v it_o by_o our_o own_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n to_o which_o paul_n exhort_v three_o the_o type_n which_o you_o mention_v be_v not_o all_o the_o gospel_n or_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o promise_n then_o extant_a if_o therefore_o there_o be_v any_o other_o part_n of_o god_n word_n then_o that_o lead_v they_o to_o receive_v christ_n entire_o as_o the_o messiah_n and_o particular_o as_o the_o king_n and_o teacher_n of_o his_o church_n and_o promise_a life_n and_o pardon_n on_o this_o condition_n your_o argument_n then_o from_o the_o type_n alone_o be_v vain_a because_o they_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a word_n unless_o you_o prove_v that_o they_o exclude_v the_o rest_n which_o you_o never_o can_v and_o indeed_o not_o only_o the_o very_a first_o promise_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n etc._n etc._n do_v hold_v out_o whole_a christ_n as_o priest_n and_o prophet_n and_o king_n as_o the_o object_n of_o justify_v faith_n but_o also_o many_o and_o many_o another_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n which_o you_o cite_v do_v begin_v with_o his_o kingly_a office_n as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o the_o two_o first_o chapter_n which_o be_v almost_o all_o take_v up_o in_o prove_v it_o four_o you_o confess_v yourself_o that_o christ_n as_o intercede_v be_v the_o object_n of_o justify_v faith_n and_o if_o you_o mean_v it_o of_o his_o heavenly_a intercession_n that_o be_v no_o part_n of_o his_o meritorious_a obedidience_n or_o humiliation_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o application_n or_o collation_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o so_o be_v much_o of_o his_o kingly_a and_o prophetical_a office_n too_o mr._n blake_n second_o that_o which_o the_o sacrament_n under_o the_o gospel_n set_v forth_o christ_n for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n lead_v we_o unto_o that_o our_o faith_n must_v eye_n for_o reconciliation_n pardon_v and_o justification_n this_o be_v clear_a christ_n in_o his_o own_o institute_v ordinance_n will_v not_o misguide_v we_o but_o these_o lead_v we_o to_o christ_n suffer_v die_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n mat_n 26_o 28._o a_o break_a bleed_a die_a

from_o the_o object_n of_o justify_v faith_n but_o what_o strange_a argument_n be_v these_o that_o be_v such_o stranger_n still_o to_o the_o question_n you_o prove_v the_o inclusion_n of_o say_v in_o christ_n die_v but_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v the_o exclusion_n of_o the_o other_o act_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v incumbent_a on_o you_o second_o if_o you_o say_v that_o only_a be_v mean_v by_o you_o though_o not_o express_v than_o i_o further_a reply_n that_o this_o argument_n labour_v of_o the_o same_o disease_n with_o the_o last_o require_v no_o

you_o attempt_v not_o that_o i_o see_v second_o if_o therefore_o you_o understand_v the_o minor_a exclusive_o as_o to_o all_o other_o part_n of_o christ_n office_n i_o deny_v it_o and_o the_o text_n cite_v say_v not_o a_o word_n to_o prove_v it_o three_o and_o if_o they_o do_v yet_o faith_n may_v eye_v a_o die_a christ_n only_o as_o purchase_v pardon_n and_o yet_o ex_fw-la parte_fw-la
