but_o the_o imputation_n in_o se_fw-la which_o mr._n ws._n think_v he_o have_v make_v out_o by_o his_o new_a notion_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a imagination_n thereof_o and_o not_o true_a imputation_n in_o se_fw-la and_o therefore_o a_o imputation_n in_o se_fw-la must_v be_v deny_v the_o major_n appear_v and_o be_v confirm_v by_o my_o second_o reason_n and_o the_o minor_a by_o my_o first_o lay_v down_o 4._o it_o be_v apparent_a to_o all_o that_o be_v discern_v that_o mr._n ws._n do_v agree_v with_o mr._n baxter_n and_o i_o in_o our_o opinion_n so_o far_o as_o concern_v the_o brethren_n that_o be_v that_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o imputation_n they_o hold_v he_o be_v against_o they_o as_o much_o as_o we_o and_o unless_o what_o he_o have_v invent_v be_v another_o there_o be_v no_o other_o imputation_n in_o se_fw-la but_o they_o 5._o the_o go_v about_o to_o cover_v this_o agreement_n with_o we_o by_o his_o new_a devise_a notion_n which_o none_o else_o ever_o have_v or_o yet_o understand_v and_o that_o which_o will_v never_o hold_v must_v needs_o betray_v he_o to_o a_o deep_a censure_n than_o he_o deserve_v and_o lay_v he_o but_o the_o more_o open_a to_o any_o pen_n that_o shall_v be_v employ_v to_o expose_v he_o not_o that_o i_o call_v this_o new_a notion_n only_o a_o cover_n if_o it_o prove_v the_o thing_n he_o count_v it_o to_o do_v but_o so_o long_o as_o it_o prove_v it_o not_o it_o be_v no_o other_o 6._o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o man_n of_o gravity_n to_o play_v the_o child_n which_o hide_v its_o head_n in_o the_o mother_n apron_n and_o think_v that_o no_o body_n see_v he_o as_o if_o the_o veil_n of_o this_o perplex_a conception_n shall_v be_v a_o safeguard_n to_o mr._n ws._n against_o the_o assault_n of_o any_o enemy_n which_o it_o be_v like_a rather_o to_o provoke_v and_o will_v afford_v he_o no_o more_o armour_n against_o they_o than_o a_o cobweb_n which_o every_o wasp_n and_o such_o he_o must_v look_v for_o will_v break_v through_o when_o some_o silly_a fly_n be_v entangle_v with_o it_o 7._o the_o only_a thing_n that_o he_o can_v say_v to_o excuse_v himself_o to_o good_a man_n when_o they_o see_v his_o notion_n insignificant_a and_o which_o perhaps_o do_v satisfy_v he_o full_o now_o be_v that_o by_o this_o devise_n he_o do_v prevent_v or_o endeavour_v to_o prevent_v the_o offence_n of_o the_o weak_a brethren_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o digest_v strong_a meat_n but_o here_o will_v be_v the_o question_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o herein_o symbolize_v with_o peter_n who_o for_o fear_n of_o displease_v the_o jew_n by_o eat_v with_o the_o gentile_n do_v real_o scandalize_v the_o gentile_n by_o withdraw_a and_o make_v paul_n reprove_v he_o let_v mr._n ws._n examine_v this_o to_o the_o bottom_n it_o concern_v he_o not_o i_o for_o he_o must_v give_v a_o account_n thereof_o to_o god_n 8._o he_o do_v a_o kind_n of_o open_a wrong_n to_o i_o and_o mr._n clark_n and_o mr._n baxter_n by_o give_v occasion_n to_o such_o as_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o he_o or_o his_o book_n to_o account_v we_o heterodox_n while_o he_o set_v himself_o and_o the_o brethren_n on_o one_o side_n and_o we_o upon_o the_o other_o even_o in_o that_o wherein_o he_o agree_v with_o we_o but_o only_o that_o he_o be_v warp_a by_o his_o notion_n that_o make_v nothing_o indeed_o for_o the_o brethren_n nor_o against_o we_o though_o there_o be_v as_o he_o think_v something_o indeed_o in_o it_o whereas_o if_o he_o do_v stand_v by_o we_o as_o of_o his_o party_n it_o will_v hearten_v they_o to_o own_v we_o also_o so_o as_o it_o will_v in_o time_n render_v the_o offence_n insignificant_a and_o the_o acknowledgement_n honourable_a as_o the_o name_n christian_n now_o be_v that_o be_v otherwise_o 9_o when_o the_o brethren_n accuse_v he_o for_o agreement_n with_o mr._n baxter_n and_o he_o instead_o of_o confess_v the_o same_o do_v say_v they_o wrong_v he_o as_o peter_n say_v the_o damsel_n do_v in_o accuse_v he_o for_o one_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o fly_v to_o his_o notion_n which_o if_o it_o will_v hold_v he_o shall_v not_o yet_o do_v for_o he_o agree_v with_o we_o for_o all_o that_o be_v this_o like_o a_o disciple_n of_o mr._n baxter_n who_o never_o baulk_v speak_v his_o mind_n out_o of_o fear_n of_o loss_n either_o of_o reputation_n money_n or_o life_n 10._o the_o case_n be_v bring_v in_o the_o contest_v of_o the_o present_a day_n to_o a_o kind_n of_o case_n of_o confession_n whether_o we_o be_v for_o a_o imputation_n in_o se_fw-la or_o quoad_fw-la effectus_fw-la and_o if_o any_o that_o be_v lead_v man_n instead_o of_o a_o plain_a own_n of_o the_o truth_n as_o they_o conceive_v it_o shall_v use_v any_o shift_n to_o save_v that_o confession_n and_o when_o there_o be_v no_o need_n i_o can_v but_o remember_v i_o do_v not_o apply_v that_o text._n you_o be_v they_o who_o justify_v yourselves_o before_o man_n but_o god_n know_v your_o heart_n for_o that_o which_o be_v high_o esteem_v among_o man_n be_v abomination_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 11._o by_o mr._n ws._n new_a notion_n he_o be_v not_o only_o keep_v himself_o from_o the_o confession_n which_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v when_o bring_v to_o it_o that_o be_v against_o a_o imputation_n in_o se_fw-la but_o it_o do_v keep_v other_o though_o they_o be_v convince_v in_o their_o judgement_n and_o believe_v as_o we_o from_o confess_v or_o profess_v the_o same_o also_o and_o if_o any_o will_v not_o confess_v the_o truth_n as_o they_o believe_v in_o their_o heart_n if_o they_o be_v put_v to_o it_o before_o man_n when_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n but_o of_o credit_n how_o will_v they_o confess_v their_o faith_n if_o there_o be_v danger_n of_o life_n if_o a_o man_n do_v shrink_v at_o be_v a_o confessor_n how_o will_v he_o abide_v the_o be_v a_o martyr_n and_o how_o shall_v be_v that_o be_v truth_n confess_v he_o before_o god_n their_o father_n in_o heaven_n not_o that_o i_o will_v have_v any_o think_v that_o mr._n ws._n use_v a_o phrase_n against_o his_o judgement_n for_o i_o believe_v he_o apprehend_v something_o very_o in_o his_o notion_n that_o prove_v a_o imputation_n in_o se_fw-la which_o i_o apprehend_v not_o when_o yet_o that_o belief_n do_v prove_v he_o a_o honest_a man_n which_o i_o do_v apprehend_v and_o signify_v so_o much_o to_o prevent_v my_o sin_v against_o my_o brother_n by_o give_v occasion_n to_o any_o of_o think_v of_o he_o otherwise_o from_o what_o i_o write_v 12._o if_o any_o good_a christian_a shall_v say_v to_o i_o i_o be_o offend_v that_o you_o and_o mr._n baxter_n deny_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n i_o will_v answer_v mr._n baxter_n and_o i_o do_v hold_v the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n as_o much_o as_o real_o can_v be_v hold_v that_o be_v a_o imputation_n as_o to_o the_o effect_n if_o one_o say_v unless_o you_o grant_v more_o he_o will_v be_v offend_v still_o i_o will_v say_v again_o there_o be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o that_o christ_n righteousness_n shall_v be_v real_o or_o in_o se_fw-la we_o and_o when_o we_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v relative_o we_o that_o be_v we_o in_o regard_n to_o
