that_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n in_o two_o respect_n which_o that_o universal_a justification_n be_v not_o as_o first_o he_o that_o receive_v this_o impute_a gift_n of_o righteousness_n god_n pardon_v that_o man_n sin_n although_o numerous_a against_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n which_o that_o universal_a justification_n do_v not_o for_o it_o only_o pardon_v the_o gift_n and_o punishment_n of_o adam_n one_o offence_n once_o commit_v to_o he_o and_o all_o his_o posterity_n but_o it_o pardon_v no_o more_o second_o that_o man_n which_o by_o belief_n receive_v that_o impute_a gift_n of_o righteousness_n be_v possess_v of_o eternal_a life_n in_o this_o world_n for_o the_o text_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v have_v eternal_a life_n which_o that_o universal_a justification_n do_v not_o give_v it_o only_o give_v right_a to_o eternal_a life_n but_o no_o more_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o five_o of_o the_o roman_n points_z out_o this_o particular_a justification_n and_o that_o universal_a justification_n the_o particular_a justification_n in_o these_o word_n for_o if_o by_o one_o man_n offence_n death_n reign_v by_o one_o much_o more_o they_o which_o receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n by_o one_o jesus_n christ_n but_o mark_v the_o text_n it_o refer_v this_o particular_a justification_n only_o to_o believer_n that_o receive_v that_o gift_n of_o righteousness_n verse_n 17._o and_o in_o the_o 18._o verse_n the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o that_o universal_a justification_n in_o these_o word_n therefore_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n even_o so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o the_o free_a gift_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o justification_n of_o life_n obj._n it_o will_v be_v object_v object_n our_o lord_n say_v father_n i_o will_v that_o those_o which_o thou_o
