without_o a_o spirit_n and_o as_o righteousness_n therefore_o in_o one_o person_n can_v justify_v another_o from_o unrighteousness_n so_o whoever_o now_o pretend_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n whilst_o not_o lead_v and_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n into_o all_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o work_v of_o righteouness_n their_o faith_n they_o will_v find_v at_o last_o fiction_n 8._o 12._o little_a child_n let_v no_o man_n deceive_v you_o he_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v righteous_a as_o god_n be_v righteous_a but_o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n from_o whence_o

follow_v that_o as_o he_o who_o do_v righteousness_n be_v righteous_a as_o god_n be_v righteous_a so_o no_o far_o be_v he_o like_o god_n or_o justifiable_a for_o in_o whatsoever_o he_o derrogate_v from_o the_o work_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v hold_v in_o a_o pure_a conscience_n he_o be_v no_o long_o righteous_a or_o justify_v but_o under_o condemnation_n as_o a_o transgressor_n or_o dissobedient_a person_n to_o the_o righteous_a commandment_n and_o if_o any_o will_v obtain_v the_o true_a state_n of_o justification_n let_v they_o circumspect_o observe_v the_o holy_a guiding_n and_o instruction_n of_o that_o unction_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n recommend_v the_o ancient_a church_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v lead_v out_o of_o all_o ungodliness_n into_o truth_n and_o holiness_n so_o shall_v they_o find_v acceptance_n with_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v determine_v never_o to_o justify_v the_o wicked_a refute_v from_o right_a reason_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o justify_v that_o which_o be_v both_o opposite_a and_o destructive_a to_o the_o purity_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n as_o this_o doctrine_n necessary_o oblige_v he_o to_o do_v in_o accept_v the_o wicked_a as_o not_o such_o from_o the_o imputation_n of_o another_o righteousness_n 2._o since_o man_n be_v justify_v before_o god_n whilst_o in_o his_o native_a innocency_n and_o never_o condemn_v till_o he_o have_v err_v from_o that_o pure_a state_n he_o never_o can_v be_v justify_v whilst_o in_o the_o frequent_a commission_n of_o that_o for_o which_o the_o condemnation_n come_v therefore_o to_o be_v justify_v his_o redemption_n must_v be_v as_o entire_a as_o his_o fall_n 3._o because_o sin_n come_v not_o by_o imputation_n but_o actual_a transgression_n for_o god_n do_v not_o condemn_v his_o creature_n for_o what_o he_o do_v not_o but_o what_o he_o do_v therefore_o must_v the_o righteousness_n be_v as_o personal_a for_o acceptance_n otherwise_o these_o two_o thing_n will_v necessary_o follow_v first_o that_o he_o may_v be_v actual_o a_o sinner_n and_o yet_o not_o under_o the_o curse_n second_o that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n to_o death_n be_v more_o prevalent_a than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n unto_o life_n 4._o it_o be_v therefore_o contrary_a to_o sound_v reason_n that_o if_o actual_a sin_v bring_v death_n and_o condemnation_n any_o thing_n beside_o actual_a obedience_n unto_o righteousness_n shall_v bring_v life_n and_o justification_n for_o death_n and_o life_n condemnation_n and_o justification_n be_v vast_o opposite_a no_o man_n can_v be_v actual_o dead_a and_o imputative_o alive_a therefore_o this_o doctrine_n so_o much_o contend_v for_o carry_v this_o gross_a absurdity_n with_o it_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v actual_o sinful_a yet_o imputative_o righteous_a actual_o judge_v and_o condemn_v yet_o imputative_o justify_v and_o glorify_v in_o short_a he_o may_v be_v actual_o damn_v and_o yet_o imputative_o save_v otherwise_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o obedience_n to_o justification_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o personal_o extensive_a as_o be_v
