according_a to_o this_o new_a law_n and_o so_o for_o christ_n sake_n accept_v to_o salvation_n in_o this_o sense_n be_o i_o apt_a to_o understand_v that_o everlasting_a righteousness_n which_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o the_o messiah_n or_o by_o his_o covenant_n in_o daniel_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n do_v i_o construe_v that_o title_n the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n only_o when_o i_o have_v say_v in_o my_o former_a paper_n that_o it_o be_v not_o appropriate_v to_o the_o second_o person_n i_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v so_o take_v as_o if_o i_o suppose_v that_o by_o the_o branih_n in_o the_o two_o text_n of_o jeremy_n where_o we_o find_v it_o zcrubabble_n only_o be_v mean_v though_o a_o total_a silence_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n of_o so_o pertinent_a a_o quotation_n for_o christ_n if_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o he_o may_v well_o tempt_v grotius_n to_o that_o interpretation_n but_o that_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n be_v thereby_o assert_v it_o be_v a_o title_n that_o must_v belong_v to_o he_o as_o god_n and_o not_o as_o second_o person_n for_o the_o son_n be_v lord_n and_o the_o father_n be_v lord_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n lord_n and_o yet_o not_o three_o lord_n but_o one_o lord_n the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n there_o be_v the_o uncreated_a absolute_a righteousness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o divine_a essence_n itself_o for_o as_o god_n be_v truth_n in_o the_o abstract_n so_o be_v he_o righteousness_n or_o the_o create_v relative_a righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o be_v his_o righteousness_n set_v forth_o in_o relation_n to_o we_o which_o consist_v in_o his_o deal_n with_o we_o as_o his_o creature_n according_a to_o our_o condition_n this_o relative_a righteousness_n than_o be_v double_a the_o righteousness_n or_o justice_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o righteousness_n or_o equity_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o one_o i_o count_v to_o be_v that_o our_o divine_n call_v his_o strict_a the_o other_o his_o paternal_a justice_n when_o god_n make_v man_n at_o first_o and_o give_v he_o the_o law_n of_o his_o creation_n he_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o he_o according_a to_o this_o perfect_a law_n and_o it_o be_v but_o equal_a according_a to_o his_o perfect_a state_n and_o this_o be_v the_o original_a righteousness_n as_o i_o may_v say_v of_o god_n in_o relation_n to_o we_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o but_o do_v find_v some_o sense_n of_o it_o in_o our_o heart_n that_o make_v we_o not_o so_o much_o only_o to_o fear_v as_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o he_o under_o that_o apprehension_n but_o there_o be_v another_o righteousness_n than_o this_o which_o be_v ever_o afoot_a in_o the_o world_n since_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o woman_n seed_n or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v have_v be_v save_v though_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v now_o manifest_v as_o bring_v in_o in_o daniel_n phrase_n because_o the_o reason_n upon_o which_o it_o be_v found_v that_o be_v man_n reconciliation_n to_o god_n by_o christ_n be_v reveal_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n oppose_v to_o work_n or_o to_o his_o strict_a justice_n which_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o exercise_v according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n that_o be_v so_o magnify_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o here_o now_o be_v a_o distinction_n to_o be_v use_v which_o i_o want_v termes_n to_o express_v for_o this_o righteousness_n of_o god_n must_v be_v consider_v with_o regard_n to_o himself_o which_o be_v his_o deal_n with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o faith_n for_o christ_n sake_n when_o he_o may_v deal_v with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o nature_n if_o he_o will_v and_o with_o regard_n to_o we_o or_o to_o the_o condition_n upon_o which_o he_o do_v so_o merciful_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v take_v in_o scripture_n both_o for_o his_o love_n towards_o we_o and_o our_o love_n of_o he_o so_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n take_v for_o both_o these_o his_o deal_n with_o we_o according_a to_o this_o covenant_n and_o the_o condition_n on_o our_o part_n which_o he_o accept_v and_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o when_o it_o be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o one_o place_n it_o be_v call_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n in_o another_o and_o in_o a_o three_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o god_n by_o faith_n now_o when_o it_o be_v our_o faith_n our_o repentance_n our_o new_a obedience_n which_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n itself_o take_v help_v i_o to_o two_o term_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o no_o man_n can_v perform_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o and_o our_o divine_n by_o work_n will_v understand_v all_o good_a work_n even_o this_o faith_n itself_o as_o a_o work_n as_o be_v say_v and_o our_o evangelical_n obedience_n insomuch_o as_o when_o there_o be_v no_o righteousness_n but_o what_o be_v without_o we_o can_v be_v oppose_v to_o these_o it_o make_v they_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n to_o understand_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v god_n and_o by_o faith_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_a conception_n so_o strain_v it_o appear_v if_o i_o may_v use_v those_o word_n in_o humility_n how_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o the_o right_a notion_n and_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v in_o a_o contrary_a vein_n to_o the_o jew_n a_o righteousness_n which_o be_v not_o their_o own_o but_o another_o in_o the_o stead_n of_o that_o which_o it_o be_v not_o they_o have_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o truth_n in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n and_o here_o in_o now_o farther_z do_v appear_v the_o ground_n of_o reconciliation_n between_o the_o papist_n and_o we_o upon_o the_o point_n for_o when_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o let_v their_o book_n be_v consult_v do_v go_v on_o the_o supposition_n that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o law_n the_o law_n of_o work_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v this_o hypothesis_n be_v remove_v the_o opposition_n on_o both_o side_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n that_o no_o man_n can_v bring_v or_o plead_v any_o such_o righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o before_o god_n as_o answer_v the_o law_n the_o protestant_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o consequent_o if_o it_o be_v by_o the_o law_n that_o we_o must_v stand_v or_o fall_v at_o his_o tribunal_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o their_o bring_n in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n make_v we_o by_o faith_n as_o they_o do_v to_o justify_v we_o but_o when_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o it_o be_v not_o i_o say_v by_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o by_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v it_o be_v some_o wonder_n to_o i_o this_o plain_a truth_n shall_v be_v no_o better_o understand_v that_o god_n judge_v a_o man_n to_o have_v perform_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o account_v or_o declare_v he_o righteous_a and_o that_o god_n account_v a_o man_n righteous_a be_v his_o justification_n let_v no_o man_n deceive_v you_o say_v st._n john_n he_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v righteous_a that_o righteousness_n which_o make_v a_o man_n righteous_a and_o denominate_v he_o righteous_a be_v that_o righteousness_n which_o make_v god_n account_v he_o righteous_a but_o this_o be_v the_o righteousness_n which_o he_o do_v note_v it_o for_o it_o be_v express_v and_o what_o righteousness_n be_v that_o why_o not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n which_o no_o man_n do_v but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v in_o the_o stile_n of_o the_o other_o apostle_n a_o righteousness_n without_o work_n to_o wit_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n or_o perfect_a work_n in_o the_o sense_n he_o say_v also_o god_n justify_v the_o ungodly_a so_o that_o it_o be_v by_o grace_n while_o it_o it_o by_o this_o righteousness_n which_o do_v and_o must_v lean_v on_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n no_o less_o than_o we_o say_v faith_n itself_o do_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v that_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o righteous_a be_v say_v ordinary_o by_o divine_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o right_n and_o plain_a understanding_n or_o reason_n of_o what_o they_o say_v be_v not_o so_o ordinary_a he_o have_v choose_v up_o in_o christ_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a he_o have_v redeem_v we_o from_o iniquity_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v a_o peculiar_a
