believe_n which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o 3._o verse_n and_o also_o in_o the_o 9_o and_o 22._o verse_n be_v the_o faith_n and_o believe_v of_o abraham_n who_o divers_a year_n before_o

apprehend_v by_o faith_n and_o believe_v three_o this_o faith_n of_o abraham_n be_v not_o a_o weak_a but_o a_o strong_a faith_n and_o belief_n without_o stagger_v even_o a_o full_a persuasion_n that_o god_n who_o quicken_v the_o dead_a and_o call_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o as_o if_o they_o be_v and_o be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a and_o to_o perform_v what_o he_o have_v promise_v yea_o it_o be_v a_o believe_n in_o hope_n against_o hope_n that_o god_n can_v out_o of_o a_o dead_a body_n and_o womb_n raise_v up_o a_o lively_a seed_n and_o make_v they_o spiritual_o righteous_a who_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o according_a to_o the_o law_n wicked_a sinner_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v manifest_a by_o the_o place_n before_o cite_v gen_n 15._o and_o by_o the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o chap_n from_o the_o ten_o verse_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o faith_n which_o be_v here_o say_a to_o be_v count_v for_o righteous_a second_o the_o righteousness_n here_o mean_v be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v according_a to_o the_o strictness_n and_o tenor_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v righteousness_n of_o a_o man_n own_o work_n perform_v by_o every_o man_n in_o his_o own_o person_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o the_o apostle_n do_v dispute_v altogether_o against_o that_o righteousness_n and_o prove_v that_o neither_o abraham_n be_v justify_v or_o count_v of_o god_n righteous_a for_o it_o as_o appear_v in_o the_o 2._o 5._o 6._o 13._o verse_n nor_o any_o other_o at_o any_o time_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o chapter_n before_o and_o chap._n 8._o 3._o and_o 9_o 32._o 10._o 3._o but_o here_o be_v mean_v a_o evangelical_a righteousness_n which_o do_v not_o consist_v in_o any_o work_n or_o work_n perform_v by_o a_o man_n himself_o in_o his_o own_o person_n nor_o in_o any_o grace_n or_o virtue_n inherent_a in_o himself_o but_o be_v a_o righteousness_n which_o god_n of_o his_o own_o free_a grace_n do_v impute_v to_o the_o true_a believer_n who_o by_o one_o spirit_n be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o and_o be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o do_v exclude_v legal_a justification_n by_o righteousness_n of_o a_o man_n own_o work_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o whole_a discourse_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o and_o the_o former_a chapter_n and_o in_o diverse_a other_o place_n of_o this_o epistle_n especial_o ver._n 13._o of_o this_o 4_o chap._n and_o in_o chap._n 3._o 27._o 28._o three_o the_o phrase_n of_o impute_v or_o count_v a_o thing_n to_o one_o signify_v both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n a_o act_n of_o judgement_n and_o estimation_n by_o which_o a_o thing_n be_v judge_v esteem_v reckon_v and_o account_v to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v indeed_o and_o then_o it_o be_v just_a and_o according_a to_o truth_n but_o when_o a_o thing_n be_v count_v or_o judge_v think_v and_o esteem_v to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v not_o than_o it_o be_v unjust_a and_o not_o according_a to_o truth_n now_o god_n thought_n be_v always_o just_a and_o his_o judgement_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n rom._n 2._o 2._o and_o therefore_o a_o lust_n impute_v and_o count_v be_v here_o mean_v for_o god_n do_v account_n and_o judge_n of_o all_o person_n and_o thing_n so_o as_o they_o be_v of_o unjust_a count_v and_o impute_v fal●ely_o we_o have_v some_o example_n in_o scripture_n as_o 1_o king_n 1_o 21._o where_o bathsheba_n say_v to_o david_n i_o and_o my_o son_n solomon_n be_v count_v offender_n that_o be_v usurp_v adonijah_n and_o his_o wicked_a company_n will_v so_o esteem_v and_o judge_v we_o of_o repute_v and_o coun●ing_v true_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v we_o have_v example_n also_o as_o nehemiah_n 13._o 13._o where_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o choose_a levite_n that_o they_o be_v count_v faithful_a viz_o upon_o former_a experience_n of_o their_o faithfulness_n and_o therefore_o the_o office_n of_o distribute_v to_o the●brethren_n be_v count_v to_o they_o and_o levit_n 17._o 4._o ●here_o it_o be_v say_v blood_n shall_v be_v impute_v to_o that_o man_n he_o have_v shed_v blood_n and_o shall_v be_v

count_v signify_v sometime_o in_o the_o most_o proper_a sense_n a_o bare_a act_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o thought_n as_o pro._n 17._o 28._o where_o a_o ●oole_n be_v say_v to_o be_v count_v wise_a

full_a sense_n not_o only_o think_v judge_a and_o count_v person_n to_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a just_a or_o unjust_a innocent_a or_o guilty_a but_o also_o deal_v with_o they_o and_o use_v they_o according_o as_o in_o the_o place_n before_o name_v 1_o king_n 1._o 21._o nehem._n 13._o 13._o and_o levit._n 17._o 4._o and_o psal_n 22._o 30._o also_o 1_o sam._n 2●_z 15._o where_o abimelech_n
