consider_v what_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o our_o righteousness_n that_o god_n require_v for_o our_o justification_n for_o then_o his_o direct_a answer_n have_v be_v the_o right_a eousnesse_n of_o

and_o we_o be_v then_o justify_v by_o work_n but_o i_o conceive_v the_o question_n be_v what_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o this_o righteousness_n and_o how_o be_v this_o we_o as_o app_z ar_v by_o his_o

speak_v here_o of_o a_o declarative_a justification_n what_o shall_v evidence_n it_o to_o my_o conscience_n and_o give_v i_o knowledge_n of_o it_o but_o what_o justifi_v i_o and_o see_v it_o be_v something_o without_o do_v for_o i_o and_o impute_v how_o be_v it_o i_o not_o how_o be_v it_o know_v to_o be_v i_o therefore_o faith_n be_v not_o exclusive_o take_v three_o if_o when_o it_o be_v say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n the_o object_n be_v understand_v by_o the_o act_n exclude_v the_o act_n then_o why_o be_v it_o that_o in_o most_o place_n where_o justification_n be_v

take_v the_o act_n for_o the_o object_n if_o the_o act_n have_v no_o influence_n into_o justification_n neither_o as_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n nor_o the_o instrument_n to_o apply_v it_o for_o danger_n may_v arise_v and_o be_v give_v by_o such_o a_o expression_n to_o ascribe_v something_o to_o faith_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n if_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o exclude_v it_o therefore_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o exclude_v it_o hence_o we_o just_o ascribe_v instrumentality_n unto_o faith_n in_o apply_v christ_n righteousness_n to_o justification_n five_o if_o abraham_n faith_n by_o which_o he_o be_v justify_v be_v subjective_o take_v for_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n yet_o relative_o consider_v to_o its_o object_n than_o our_o faith_n that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o

the_o commendation_n of_o his_o faith_n as_o a_o grace_n when_o he_o be_v treat_v of_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n and_o stir_v up_o we_o to_o the_o imitation_n of_o the_o like_a faith_n tell_v

i_o can_v no_o way_n rational_o imagine_v six_o nor_o can_v i_o see_v any_o supereminent_a excellency_n in_o that_o grace_n above_o all_o other_o as_o the_o scripture_n express_v and_o divine_n

the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o be_v call_v child_n of_o wrath_n it_o be_v a_o hebraisme_n signify_v that_o they_o be_v bear_v such_o and_o sure_o subject_a to_o it_o and_o obnoxious_a
