the_o thing_n the_o better_a there_o be_v two_o thing_n two_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n the_o one_o of_o justification_n the_o other_o of_o sanctification_n the_o holy_a ghost_n distinguish_v they_o by_o several_a term_n 1_o cor._n 1.30_o of_o he_o be_v you_o in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n you_o see_v here_o be_v two_o distinct_a grace_n righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n they_o make_v they_o but_o one_o sanctification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n moreover_o who_o he_o do_v predestinate_a they_o he_o also_o call_v and_o who_o he_o call_v they_o he_o also_o justify_v and_o who_o he_o justify_v they_o he_o also_o glorify_v rom._n 8.30_o here_o justification_n and_o glorification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n sy_n paul_n speak_v of_o a_o thing_n past_a not_o of_o the_o glory_n to_o come_v they_o he_o glorify_v not_o shall_v glorify_v he_o mean_v sanctification_n which_o be_v inchoate_a glory_n for_o what_o be_v the_o glory_n we_o shall_v have_v in_o heaven_n but_o the_o enlargement_n of_o those_o inherent_a grace_n god_n begin_v in_o this_o world_n here_o be_v the_o seed_n there_o be_v the_o crop_n here_o thou_o have_v a_o little_a knowledge_n but_o there_o it_o shall_v be_v enlarge_v now_o thou_o have_v a_o little_a joy_n there_o thou_o shall_v enter_v into_o thy_o master_n joy_n here_o some_o knowledge_n but_o there_o thou_o shall_v have_v a_o full_a knowledge_n and_o a_o full_a measure_n here_o glory_n dwell_v in_o our_o land_n but_o there_o we_o shall_v with_o open_a faoe_n behold_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v change_v into_o the_o same_o image_n from_o glory_n to_o glory_n even_o as_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n 2_o cor._n 3.18_o i._n e._n we_o be_v more_o and_o more_o conform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o almighty_a god_n by_o obedience_n and_o holy_a quality_n infuse_v into_o we_o that_o we_o grow_v from_o one_o degree_n of_o sanctification_n unto_o another_o and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o these_o be_v distinguish_v by_o their_o term_n justification_n and_o glorification_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n there_o be_v another_o place_n in_o st._n john_n a_o hard_a place_n but_o yet_o as_o i_o take_v it_o these_o two_o righteousness_n that_o have_v the_o same_o name_n for_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v righteousness_n both_o of_o they_o to_o be_v distinct_a in_o their_o term_n in_o that_o place_n it_o be_v say_v joh._n 16.8_o that_o when_o the_o spirit_n shall_v come_v he_o shall_v reprove_v or_o as_o we_o shall_v translate_v it_o and_o as_o you_o read_v it_o in_o the_o margin_n he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n concern_v sin_n righteousness_n and_o judgement_n thus_o i_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v translate_v for_o it_o be_v of_o no_o sense_n to_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v reprove_v the_o world_n of_o righteousness_n on_o what_o occasion_n this_o be_v speak_v we_o must_v not_o stand_v to_o speak_v but_o righteousness_n and_o judgement_n be_v justification_n and_o sanctification_n and_o the_o drift_n of_o the_o place_n be_v this_o when_o the_o spirit_n shall_v come_v how_o not_o upon_o i_o or_o thou_o but_o the_o spirit_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v that_o spirit_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o the_o apostle_n it_o shall_v begin_v at_o the_o day_n of_o pentecost_n and_o these_o 1._o shall_v set_v forth_o like_o twelve_o champion_n to_o conquer_v the_o world_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o unto_o the_o sceptre_n of_o christ._n he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n i_o e._n when_o the_o spirit_n shall_v come_v on_o you_o and_o your_o tongue_n be_v tip_v with_o that_o spiritual_a fire_n which_o shall_v be_v active_a it_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o three_o particular_n of_o sin_n righteousness_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o point_n of_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n the_o point_n of_o justification_n by_o righteousness_n imputative_a and_o the_o glory_n of_o sanctification_n in_o judgement_n and_o righteousness_n inherent_a this_o method_n st._n paul_n use_v in_o the_o roman_n to_o stop_v every_o man_n

of_o righteousness_n for_o they_o have_v the_o same_o cover_n by_o justication_n by_o christ_n in_o heaven_n that_o they_o have_v before_o god_n cover_v their_o sin_n not_o here_o only_o but_o there_o also_o justification_n follow_v they_o for_o ever_o quest._n but_o now_o what_o part_n have_v justification_n in_o it_o we_o be_v wont_n to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n one_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n the_o other_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n sol._n i_o answer_v for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o think_v justification_n be_v one_o simple_a act_n of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v improper_o distinguish_v as_o part_n but_o rather_o as_o terminus_fw-la a_o quo_fw-la be_v distinct_a from_o terminus_fw-la ad_fw-la quem_fw-la and_o this_o i_o shall_v show_v unto_o you_o both_o by_o reason_n and_o authority_n that_o faith_n be_v but_o one_o act_n let_v none_o say_v that_o i_o take_v away_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n no_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o light_n and_o the_o expulsion_n of_o darkness_n be_v not_o two_o act_n but_o one_o but_o there_o be_v terminus_fw-la à_fw-la quo_fw-la and_o terminus_fw-la ad_fw-la quem_fw-la we_o be_v account_v righteous_a and_o that_o be_v we_o have_v our_o sin_n forgive_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o if_o sin_n be_v a_o positive_a thing_n and_o have_v a_o be_v in_o itself_o than_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n must_v be_v a_o thing_n distinct_a from_o the_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n scholar_n know_v the_o difference_n between_o adversa_fw-la and_o privantia_fw-la white_a and_o black_a be_v both_o existent_n but_o darkness_n and_o light_n be_v not_o but_o only_o a_o privation_n one_o of_o another_o darkness_n be_v nothing_o of_o itself_o but_o the_o absence_n of_o light_n the_o bring_n in_o of_o light_n be_v the_o suppression_n of_o it_o you_o must_v understand_v sin_n have_v no_o be_v no_o entity_n it_o be_v only_o a_o absence_n of_o righteousness_n the_o want_n of_o that_o light_n which_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o subject_n which_o want_n be_v either_o in_o our_o nature_n and_o then_o it_o be_v call_v original_a or_o in_o our_o person_n and_o action_n and_o then_o it_o be_v call_v actual_a transgression_n sin_n be_v a_o absence_n of_o that_o positive_a be_v which_o be_v as_o i_o say_v either_o in_o our_o nature_n or_o work_n then_o thus_o i_o will_v resolve_v you_o in_o another_o point_n viz._n if_o sin_n be_v a_o positive_a thing_n all_o the_o world_n can_v avoid_v it_o but_o god_n must_v be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v have_v a_o be_v but_o it_o must_v derive_v its_o be_v from_o the_o first_o be_v god_n now_o how_o can_v we_o avoid_v god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n why_o thus_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v sin_n nothing_o will_v god_n damn_v a_o man_n and_o send_v he_o to_o hell_n for_o nothing_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o nothing_o as_o you_o make_v it_o a_o man_n be_v not_o damn_v for_o nothing_o it_o be_v a_o nothing_o privative_a a_o absence_n of_o that_o that_o shall_v be_v and_o that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v as_o when_o a_o scholar_n be_v whip_v for_o not_o say_v his_o lesson_n be_v he_o whip_v think_v you_o for_o nothing_o indeed_o he_o have_v nothing_o he_o can_v say_v a_o word_n of_o his_o lesson_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v he_o be_v whip_v it_o be_v for_o a_o thing_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v and_o have_v not_o well_o if_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o justification_n do_v if_o you_o please_v but_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o more_o proper_a and_o genuine_a explanation_n beside_o it_o appear_v by_o testimony_n of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 4.6_o as_o david_n describe_v the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n etc._n etc._n say_v bless_a be_v they_o who_o iniquity_n be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n be_v cover_v the_o apostle_n cite_v the_o prophet_n david_n psal._n 32._o mark_v the_o apostle_n conclusion_n and_o how_o he_o prove_v it_o his_o conclusion_n be_v that_o man_n be_v bless_v unto_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n his_o argument_n then_o must_v needs_o be_v thus_o frame_v he_o who_o god_n forgive_v be_v bless_v but_o he_o to_o who_o god_n impute_v righteousness_n without_o work_n god_n forgive_v therefore_o he_o be_v bless_v now_o how_o can_v this_o assumption_n hold_v if_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v two_o distinct_a act_n for_o not_o impute_v righteousness_n be_v not_o to_o bring_v in_o a_o light_n which_o keep_v out_o darkness_n but_o observe_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o colossian_n and_o ephesian_n make_v this_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o whole_a work_n nay_o foundation_n of_o our_o redemption_n but_o here_o remember_v i_o deny_v not_o the_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n for_o that_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o other_o here_o be_v the_o point_n how_o be_v christ_n righteousness_n impute_v to_o i_o that_o positive_a thing_n which_o expel_v the_o other_o not_o so_o as_o if_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v in_o i_o subjective_o for_o it_o be_v wrought_v by_o his_o passion_n as_o well_o as_o his_o action_n the_o apostle_n call_v it_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n christ_n passive_a obedience_n be_v impute_v to_o i_o what_o do_v you_o think_v the_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n do_v esteem_v i_o as_o if_o i_o have_v hang_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o as_o if_o i_o have_v my_o side_n pierce_v no_o that_o will_v not_o stead_v i_o or_o do_v i_o any_o good_a that_o which_o be_v meritorious_a and_o singular_a in_o he_o do_v reach_v to_o we_o so_o that_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o we_o be_v account_v righteous_a before_o god_n only_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o for_o our_o own_o work_n and_o deserve_n that_o be_v for_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n god_n be_v well_o please_v with_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o son_n both_o active_a and_o passive_a he_o be_v so_o far_o satisfy_v as_o that_o he_o take_v we_o to_o be_v in_o that_o state_n for_o his_o sake_n as_o if_o we_o have_v fulfil_v all_o his_o law_n and_o never_o break_v they_o at_o any_o time_n and_o as_o if_o we_o owe_v he_o not_o a_o farthing_n this_o be_v imputative_a righteousness_n however_o the_o papist_n may_v scoff_n at_o it_o and_o this_o kind_n of_o justification_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v by_o imputation_n why_o because_o when_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v a_o sin_n it_o can_v be_v undo_v again_o god_n by_o his_o absolute_a power_n can_v make_v a_o thing_n do_v undo_v for_o it_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n the_o act_n pass_v can_v be_v revoke_v nor_o the_o nature_n thereof_o change_v murder_n will_v be_v murder_n still_o etc._n etc._n how_o then_o can_v i_o be_v justify_v the_o sin_n be_v past_a and_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o still_o remain_v i_o say_v how_o can_v i_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o first_o sense_n any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o imputation_n it_o be_v say_v in_o 2_o cor._n 5.19_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_a the_o world_n unto_o himself_o not_o impute_v their_o trespass_n unto_o they_o etc._n etc._n this_o kind_n of_o justification_n which_o consist_v in_o remission_n of_o sin_n can_v be_v imputative_a sin_n can_v be_v change_v nor_o the_o thing_n do_v undo_v but_o now_o come_v a_o great_a question_n if_o by_o justification_n our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o what_o sin_n be_v forgive_v i_o pray_v sin_n past_a or_o sin_n to_o come_v we_o be_v teach_v by_o some_o that_o in_o the_o instant_n of_o

in_o propriety_n of_o speech_n remission_n of_o sin_n have_v relation_n to_o that_o which_o be_v past_a it_o be_v say_v therefore_o rom._n 3.25_o who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o
