of_o they_o because_o some_o seem_v to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o understanding_n to_o deny_v any_o real_a actual_a justification_n of_o sinner_n on_o their_o believe_v in_o this_o life_n for_o they_o make_v justification_n to_o be_v only_o a_o general_a conditional_a sentence_n declare_v in_o the_o gospel_n which_o as_o unto_o its_o execution_n be_v delay_v unto_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o whilst_o man_n be_v in_o this_o world_n the_o whole_a condition_n of_o it_o be_v not_o fulfil_v they_o can_v be_v partaker_n of_o it_o or_o be_v actual_o and_o absolute_o justify_v hereon_o it_o

shall_v not_o dispute_v about_o because_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o overthrow_v the_o whole_a gospel_n the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o comfort_n of_o believer_n about_o which_o i_o hope_v we_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o call_v to_o contend_v our_o enquiry_n be_v how_o convince_a sinner_n do_v on_o their_o believe_a obtain_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n

they_o than_o thereby_o alone_o be_v they_o justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o this_o assertion_n proceed_v on_o a_o supposition_n that_o there_o be_v a_o righteousness_n require_v unto_o the_o justification_n of_o any_o person_n whatever_o for_o whereas_o god_n in_o the_o justification_n of_o any_o person_n do_v declare_v he_o to_o be_v acquit_v from_o all_o crime_n lay_v unto_o his_o charge_n and_o to_o stand_v as_o righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n it_o must_v be_v on_o the_o consideration_n of_o a_o righteousness_n whereon_o any_o man_n be_v so_o acquit_v and_o declare_v for_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v according_a unto_o truth_n this_o we_o have_v sufficient_o evidence_v before_o in_o that_o juridical_a procedure_n wherein_o the_o scripture_n represent_v unto_o we_o the_o justification_n of_o a_o believe_a sinner_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o righteousness_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v thus_o justify_v but_o only_o that_o of_o christ_n impute_v unto_o we_o than_o thereby_o must_v we_o be_v justify_v or_o not_o at_o all_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o other_o righteousness_n it_o must_v be_v our_o own_o inherent_a in_o we_o and_o wrought_v out_o by_o we_o for_o these_o two_o kind_n inherent_a and_o impute_a righteousness_n our_o own_o and_o christ_n divide_v the_o whole_a nature_n of_o righteousness_n as_o to_o the_o end_n inquire_v after_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o inherent_a righteousness_n no_o such_o righteousness_n of_o our_o own_o whereby_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v before_o god_n i_o shall_v prove_v in_o the_o first_o

by_o its_o relation_n unto_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o many_o will_v grant_v that_o our_o inherent_a righteousness_n be_v not_o of_o itself_o sufficient_a to_o justify_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o take_v it_o as_o it_o have_v value_n and_o worth_n communicate_v unto_o it_o from_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o be_v accept_v unto_o that_o end_n and_o judge_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n we_o can_v not_o merit_v life_n and_o salvation_n have_v not_o christ_n merit_v that_o grace_n for_o we_o whereby_o we_o may_v do_v so_o and_o merit_v also_o that_o our_o work_n shall_v be_v of_o such_o a_o dignity_n with_o respect_n unto_o reward_n we_o shall_v therefore_o allow_v what_o worth_n can_v be_v reasonable_o think_v to_o be_v communicate_v unto_o this_o righteousness_n from_o its_o respect_n unto_o the_o merit_n of_o christ._n 2._o whereas_o person_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o party_n do_v take_v various_a way_n in_o the_o assignation_n of_o a_o interest_n in_o our_o justification_n unto_o our_o own_o righteousness_n so_o as_o that_o no_o party_n be_v agree_v about_o it_o nor_o many_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n among_o

they_o all_o for_o my_o design_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o have_v no_o such_o interest_n in_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n as_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n shall_v not_o
