interest_n they_o also_o abhor_v a_o thought_n that_o our_o faith_n can_v be_v present_v to_o god_n as_o any_o righteousness_n in_o satisfaction_n to_o justice_n atonement_n for_o our_o sin_n or_o the_o merit_a price_n of_o our_o salvation_n withal_o they_o grant_v there_o must_v be_v such_o a_o righteousness_n and_o that_o this_o be_v christ_n righteousness_n and_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v

not_o impute_v to_o we_o that_o righteousness_n in_o se_fw-la as_o what_o he_o account_v a_o plea_n for_o we_o in_o his_o account_n can_v we_o enjoy_v the_o merit_a effect_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o that_o death_n not_o be_v reckon_v what_o secure_v to_o we_o those_o effect_n against_o the_o challenge_n which_o the_o merit_n of_o it_o be_v design_v to_o answer_v final_o do_v not_o these_o divine_v oft_o rest_v on_o and_o plead_v with_o god_n the_o merit_n of_o christ_n more_o immediate_o and_o direct_o than_o a_o denial_n of_o imputation_n will_v admit_v when_o they_o rest_v on_o christ_n righteousness_n and_o plead_v it_o with_o god_n for_o pardon_n though_o its_o true_a we_o can_v not_o expect_v pardon_n for_o it_o be_v not_o pardon_v promise_v for_o the_o sake_n thereof_o i_o think_v their_o mind_n oft_o act_v more_o direct_o and_o full_o towards_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n than_o to_o intend_v it_o thus_o viz._n i_o trust_v in_o christ_n merit_n for_o pardon_n as_o that_o pardon_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o justification_n wherein_o our_o faith_n be_v account_v through_o christ_n satisfaction_n a_o righteousness_n according_a to_o the_o gospel-covenant_n which_o covenant_n be_v procure_v by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n death_n i._o grant_v there_o may_v be_v use_n of_o this_o progressive_a manner_n of_o arrive_v at_o christ_n

humble_o think_v that_o when_o we_o plead_v with_o god_n for_o pardon_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n merit_n we_o have_v a_o more_o direct_a eye_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n wherein_o a_o pardon_n be_v promise_v to_o christ_n for_o believer_n in_o reward_n of_o his_o death_n and_o which_o the_o gospel_n distinct_o express_v in_o this_o viz._n that_o pardon_n be_v grant_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o what_o procure_v it_o in_o se_fw-mi as_o well_o as_o what_o merit_v the_o gospel-covenant_n which_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o donation_n of_o it_o and_o so_o by_o keep_v our_o eye_n on_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n we_o plead_v christ_n right_a as_o more_o immediate_o imputable_a and_o by_o keep_v our_o thought_n on_o the_o gospel-connexion_n between_o pardon_n and_o christ_n death_n as_o the_o procure_a merit_n of_o it_o we_o plead_v christ_n very_a performance_n mediate_o impute_v viz._n as_o our_o pleadable_a security_n for_o our_o certain_a obtain_n and_o safe_a enjoy_v the_o say_a forgiveness_n 6._o the_o reason_n why_o these_o venerable_a person_n be_v so_o intent_n to_o deny_v a_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n in_o se_fw-la be_v 1._o a_o apprehension_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o imputation_n unless_o we_o be_v account_v by_o god_n to_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v what_o christ_n do_v which_o will_v unavoidable_o induce_v the_o antinomian_a scheme_n as_o most_o consistent_a but_o that_o i_o deny_v to_o be_v the_o only_a import_n of_o that_o phrase_n for_o when_o that_o righteousness_n itself_o be_v impute_v relative_o to_o the_o special_a effect_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_o a_o imputation_n of_o it_o in_o se_fw-la and_o whereas_o they_o of_o the_o other_o extreme_a say_v that_o its_o be_v a_o pleadable_a security_n for_o our_o pardon_n be_v but_o a_o effect_n i_o answer_v this_o righteousness_n itself_o be_v that_o security_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o compact_a between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o it_o be_v not_o this_o effect_n be_v impute_v but_o the_o righteousness_n itself_o as_o such_o and_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n as_o they_o can_v deny_v it_o to_o be_v impute_v in_o se_fw-la because_o it_o be_v impute_v as_o a_o pleadable_a security_n they_o may_v better_o say_v it_o be_v be_v impute_v for_o justification_n and_o for_o atonement_n etc._n etc._n will_v make_v it_o to_o be_v no_o imputation_n of_o it_o in_o se_fw-mi for_o those_o be_v but_o effect_n and_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o compact_a 2._o a_o zeal_n for_o the_o gospel-righteousness_n of_o faith_n but_o that_o be_v very_o consistent_a with_o the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o tho_o both_o meet_v in_o our_o justification_n yet_o it_o be_v under_o very_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o which_o afterward_o nor_o can_v i_o forbear_v again_o to_o inform_v the_o world_n that_o both_o extreme_n arise_v from_o too_o much_o disregard_n of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o covenant_n wherein_o the_o salvation_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v adjust_v these_o brethren_n forget_v the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n to_o which_o the_o gospel-covenant_n be_v subordinate_a too_o little_o mention_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o other_o brethren_n overlook_v the_o gospel-covenant_n and_o darken_v a_o gospel-righteousness_n of_o faith_n whereas_o a_o distinct_a respect_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o satisfaction_n and_o impetration_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o application_n of_o impetrate_v benefit_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n will_v put_v a_o period_n to_o their_o principal_a dispute_n from_o this_o representation_n of_o the_o several_a sentiment_n of_o the_o brethren_n concern_v in_o the_o point_n before_o we_o a_o mutual_a forbearance_n seem_v no_o unjustifiable_a thing_n between_o they_o who_o differ_v most_o and_o no_o considerable_a disagreement_n remain_v between_o the_o other_o 1._o they_o who_o think_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n in_o se_fw-la be_v god_n reckon_a we_o do_v and_o suffer_v what_o christ_n do_v claim_v a_o tender_a regard_n from_o they_o who_o say_v it_o be_v impute_v only_o as_o to_o effect_n for_o they_o disow_v the_o antinomian_a consequence_n of_o it_o and_o abhor_v all_o abuse_n of_o it_o to_o carnal_a boast_n and_o profane_a libertinism_n of_o which_o before_o how_o unreasonable_a then_o be_v it_o to_o perpetuate_v contest_v about_o this_o point_n from_o the_o ill_a consequence_n of_o it_o when_o those_o consequence_n be_v deny_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o appear_v too_o like_o uncharitable_a rigidness_n for_o they_o to_o condemn_v as_o intolerable_a such_o who_o say_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v impute_v only_o as_o to_o effect_n for_o whatever_o be_v the_o sound_n of_o their_o word_n they_o ascribe_v nothing_o to_o faith_n or_o work_n which_o belong_v to_o christ_n righteousness_n nor_o do_v they_o detract_v from_o the_o honour_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n any_o thing_n which_o these_o brethren_n ascribe_v thereto_o and_o be_v orthodox_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o satisfaction_n against_o socinianism_n and_o popery_n when_o they_o say_v faith_n be_v a_o accept_a righteousness_n mean_v they_o that_o it_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n either_o to_o atone_v for_o sin_n or_o merit_v life_n no_o they_o abhor_v it_o and_o confine_v both_o to_o christ_n righteousness_n entire_o but_o they_o do_v not_o say_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v impute_v that_o be_v not_o true_a for_o they_o say_v it_o be_v impute_v ay_o but_o not_o in_o se._n but_o shall_v that_o be_v so_o will_v not_o it_o be_v far_o from_o a_o christian_a spirit_n to_o be_v implacable_a for_o not_o use_v a_o phrase_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v no_o use_n of_o who_o sure_o know_v how_o to_o express_v truth_n as_o proper_o as_o fallible_a man_n shall_v pretend_v to_o yea_o but_o the_o scripture_n speak_v what_o amount_v to_o this_o phrase_n and_o so_o do_v they_o in_o grant_v christ_n righteousness_n to_o be_v the_o only_a atonement_n and_o merit_a cause_n of_o pardon_n and_o life_n and_o acceptance_n with_o god_n as_o righteous_a person_n but_o do_v not_o they_o think_v we_o stand_v before_o god_n only_o in_o this_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o of_o christ_n no_o they_o assure_v we_o that_o what_o righteousness_n faith_n be_v it_o be_v so_o by_o christ_n sacrifice_n and_o merit_n and_o it_o be_v only_o a_o righteousness_n as_o a_o perform_v condition_n of_o the_o
