judgement_n of_o leo_n when_o he_o say_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v 70._o by_o no_o mean_n out_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o body_n and_o augustine_n when_o he_o say_v only_a god_n joh._n in_o

thing_n that_o concern_v salvation_n they_o be_v make_v we_o by_o god_n free_a gift_n among_o which_o be_v christ_n his_o righteousness_n by_o it_o therefore_o as_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o our_o own_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v before_o god_n and_o accept_v to_o life_n everlasting_a ii_o object_n if_o a_o sinner_n be_v justify_v by_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n than_o every_o believer_n shall_v be_v as_o righteous_a as_o christ_n and_o that_o can_v not_o be_v ans._n the_o proposition_n be_v false_a for_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n be_v not_o apply_v to_o we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v

righteousness_n of_o all_o angel_n for_o they_o be_v all_o but_o creature_n and_o their_o obedience_n the_o obedience_n of_o creature_n but_o christ_n his_o obedience_n be_v the_o obedience_n or_o righteousness_n of_o god_n so_o term_v rom._n 1._o 17_o 18._o 2._o cor._n 5._o 21._o not_o only_o because_o god_n accept_v of_o it_o but_o because_o it_o be_v in_o that_o person_n which_o be_v very_o

also_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o this_o obedience_n of_o christ_n serve_v not_o only_o for_o the_o justify_n of_o some_o one_o person_n as_o himself_o adam_n do_v but_o of_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o the_o elect_a yea_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v many_o thousand_o world_n now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o point_n this_o righteousness_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n in_o this_o

any_o particular_a believer_n but_o they_o urge_v the_o reason_n further_o say_v if_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o every_o believer_n than_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v a_o saviour_n which_o be_v absurd_a ans._n i_o answer_v as_o before_o and_o yet_o more_o plain_o thus_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o person_n of_o this_o or_o that_o man_n not_o as_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o redemption_n for_o all_o mankind_n but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o redemption_n for_o one_o particular_a man_n as_o for_o example_n christ_n his_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v to_o peter_n not_o as_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o redemption_n for_o all_o but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o redemption_n for_o peter_n and_o therefore_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n be_v not_o apply_v to_o any_o one_o sinner_n in_o that_o largeness_n and_o measure_n in_o which_o it_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o only_o so_o farforth_o as_o it_o serve_v to_o satisfy_v the_o law_n for_o the_o say_a sinner_n &_o to_o make_v his_o person_n accept_v of_o god_n as_o righteous_a and_o no_o further_o iii_o object_n if_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o christ_n his_o righteousness_n true_o than_o christ_n be_v a_o sinner_n true_o by_o our_o sin_n but_o christ_n be_v not_o indeed_o a_o sinner_n by_o our_o sin_n ans._n we_o may_v with_o reverence_n to_o his_o majesty_n in_o good_a manner_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o sinner_n and_o that_o true_o not_o by_o any_o infusion_n of_o sin_n into_o his_o most_o holy_a
