some_o sense_n the_o whole_a body_n be_v discharge_v and_o that_o before_o the_o believer_n act_v faith_n in_o christ_n though_o not_o in_o every_o sense_n for_o if_o that_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a of_o the_o capitulation_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n than_o there_o be_v something_o far_a to_o be_v consider_v now_o we_o must_v have_v faith_n in_o this_o satisfaction_n therefore_o it_o be_v decree_v and_o design_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v die_v and_o as_o he_o shake_v hand_n with_o the_o father_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o i_o do_v know_v of_o three_o covenant_n as_o he_o shake_v hand_n i_o say_v with_o the_o father_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o redemption_n to_o die_v and_o purchase_v for_o all_o the_o elect_a a_o ransom_n and_o procure_v they_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n so_o likewise_o it_o be_v design_v by_o the_o father_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v to_o procure_v they_o faith_n and_o every_o thing_n else_o relate_v to_o their_o salvation_n so_o that_o the_o case_n lie_v here_o though_o jesus_n christ_n do_v pay_v the_o debt_n a_o great_a while_n ago_o and_o the_o sinner_n be_v discharge_v so_o far_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o speak_v with_o reverence_n to_o condemn_v one_o of_o those_o soul_n for_o who_o christ_n die_v yet_o these_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o embrace_v this_o nor_o know_v this_o nor_o improve_n this_o justification_n till_o such_o time_n that_o they_o have_v faith_n by_o which_o they_o do_v see_v into_o this_o and_o apply_v it_o unto_o themselves_o so_o it_o be_v here_o like_a as_o a_o purchase_n be_v lay_v down_o for_o slave_n in_o turkey_n the_o money_n be_v first_o pay_v down_o and_o accept_v of_o though_o for_o a_o considerable_a time_n they_o may_v not_o

now_o the_o case_n lie_v here_o not_o only_o do_v the_o father_n elect_v and_o the_o son_n die_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v concern_v in_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o will_v of_o

by_o virtue_n of_o a_o covenant_n relation_n by_o which_o one_o person_n be_v constitute_v as_o a_o common_a head_n so_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v and_o be_v impute_v to_o all_o his_o posterity_n

therefore_o though_o christ_n have_v long_o ago_o bring_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n a_o perfect_a righteousness_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v actual_o justify_v till_o we_o have_v a_o be_v and_o this_o benefit_n be_v actual_o apply_v to_o we_o it_o be_v no_o more_o proper_a to_o say_v so_o than_o to_o say_v a_o heir_n be_v a_o actural_a possessor_n of_o a_o

virtual_o justify_v when_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o virtual_o glorify_v when_o he_o ascend_v in●o_o heaven_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o actual_o justify_v till_o we_o have_v a_o be_v and_o be_v in_o actual_a union_n with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n what_o christ_n do_v he_o do_v as_o our_o surety_n who_o have_v espouse_v our_o case_n and_o our_o be_v in_o actual_a union_n with_o he_o bring_v we_o to_o have_v a_o legal_a and_o personal_a right_n to_o his_o righteousness_n to_o justification_n and_o eternal_a life_n consider_v first_o therefore_o what_o it_o be_v that_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o in_o order_n to_o justification_n which_o you_o have_v hear_v be_v the_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n of_o christ_n second_o consider_v the_o end_n and_o reason_n why_o this_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o and_o that_o be_v 1._o the_o honour_n of_o god_n in_o all_o his_o divine_a attribute_n for_o there_o his_o justice_n be_v complete_o satisfy_v and_o so_o his_o mercy_n take_v place_n 2._o the_o second_o end_n be_v to_o answer_v the_o just_a demand_n and_o full_o to_o establish_v the_o sanction_n of_o god_n holy_a law_n we_o can_v never_o be_v remit_v as_o such_o as_o be_v perfect_o obedient_a unless_o it_o be_v by_o this_o way_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v establish_v the_o sanction_n of_o god_n holy_a law_n 3._o it_o be_v to_o bring_v in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n in_o a_o judicial_a way_n through_o christ_n suffer_v without_o which_o we_o can_v not_o be_v righteous_a no_o not_o by_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o most_o perfect_a actual_a obedience_n because_o that_o our_o sin_n will_v lie_v still_o upon_o we_o therefore_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n he_o bear_v that_o burden_n himself_o and_o suffer_v for_o it_o and_o carry_v that_o into_o the_o land_n of_o forgetfulness_n therefore_o know_v also_o that_o as_o we_o partake_v of_o the_o sinful_a nature_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v condemn_v as_o proceed_v from_o his_o lo●●s_n so_o by_o partake_v of_o the_o holy_a nature_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n his_o obedience_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o we_o be_v actual_o

of_o sin_n and_o corruption_n and_o christ_n must_v take_v away_o the_o gild_n and_o condemn_a nature_n of_o sin_n this_o i_o say_v must_v be_v remove_v so_o well_o as_o we_o clothe_v etc._n etc._n 5._o this_o inform_v we_o that_o god_n impute_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v his_o put_n on_o we_o this_o wedding_n garment_n but_o second_o here_o be_v a_o use_n of_o comfort_n also_o consider_v o_o

3._o this_o be_v also_o for_o your_o comfort_n you_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n 4._o you_o appear_v all_o glorious_a before_o god_n without_o
