which_o christ_n have_v not_o merit_v either_o way_n there_o be_v a_o manifest_a derogation_n from_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n yea_o but_o the_o papist_n bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o their_o doctrine_n of_o merit_n do_v not_o obscure_a but_o rather_o illustrate_v the_o glory_n of_o christ_n merit_n and_o to_o make_v this_o good_a they_o have_v two_o device_n the_o one_o receive_v general_o by_o most_o if_o not_o by_o all_o of_o they_o the_o subordination_n of_o the_o saint_n merit_n unto_o christ_n merit_n the_o second_o be_v the_o peculiar_a shift_n of_o some_o few_o the_o

derive_v from_o christ_n for_o he_o merit_v for_o we_o the_o power_n and_o grace_n of_o merit_v and_o therefore_o our_o merit_n argue_v no_o insufficiency_n in_o but_o rather_o a_o wonderful_a efficacy_n of_o his_o merit_n it_o be_v no_o blemish_n unto_o the_o sun_n that_o the_o moon_n and_o star_n shine_v with_o a_o light_n borrow_v from_o it_o the_o fruitfulness_n of_o the_o branch_n be_v

first_o cause_n and_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v any_o impeachment_n unto_o christ_n merit_n to_o affirm_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_a merit_n for_o we_o himself_o but_o also_o make_v we_o able_a to_o merit_v unto_o this_o fancy_n i_o shall_v oppose_v these_o three_o consideration_n that_o it_o be_v 1._o ungrounded_a on_o scripture_n 2._o unnecessary_a and_o 3._o impossible_a 1._o ungrounded_a on_o

be_v a_o thing_n unheard_a of_o in_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v reject_v not_o only_o as_o a_o frivolous_a but_o also_o as_o a_o presumptuous_a fiction_n but_o second_o it_o be_v also_o a_o unnecessary_a fiction_n for_o if_o christ_n merit_n be_v so_o inestimable_a as_o that_o they_o merit_n for_o we_o perfection_n and_o fullness_n of_o happiness_n and_o salvation_n what_o necessity_n be_v there_o that_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v merit_v this_o again_o if_o a_o thing_n be_v already_o do_v sufficient_o it_o be_v more_o than_o be_v needful_a for_o to_o do_v it_o over_o again_o and_o three_o this_o subordination_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o work_n unto_o christ_n merit_n be_v a_o thing_n utter_o impossible_a as_o may_v be_v
