those_o that_o want_v merit_n or_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o own_o either_o merit_n of_o their_o own_o work_n or_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o own_o make_n this_o impute_a rightousnesse_n of_o man_n be_v in_o truth_n a_o mere_a fiction_n both_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o imputation_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o righteousness_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o imputation_n for_o it_o be_v aga_v the_o nature_n of_o justice_n that_o one_o man_n righteousness_n shall_v be_v impute_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o another_o man_n unrighteousness_n without_o his_o consent_n that_o be_v to_o be_v satisfy_v but_o god_n have_v nowhere_o declare_v much_o less_o promise_v his_o consent_n to_o receive_v such_o satisfaction_n so_o that_o the_o impute_v one_o man_n righteousness_n to_o another_o must_v needs_o be_v vain_a because_o god_n may_v be_v think_v not_o to_o accept_v it_o nay_o more_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v sinful_a because_o man_n may_v be_v think_v to_o prescribe_v if_o not_o to_o extort_v god_n acceptance_n and_o if_o there_o be_v vanity_n and_o sin_n in_o the_o imputation_n we_o must_v say_v there_o be_v fiction_n in_o it_o for_o have_v its_o very_a be_v in_o vanity_n and_o sin_n it_o can_v have_v a_o real_a but_o a_o mere_a imaginary_a or_o fictitious_a be_v second_o this_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o man_n be_v a_o mere_a fiction_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o righteousness_n itself_o for_o it_o suppose_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o make_v condign_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o creator_n which_o be_v impossible_a because_o the_o one_o be_v finite_a the_o other_o be_v infinite_a nay_o yet_o far_o to_o heighten_v this_o impossibility_n at_o least_o in_o our_o conception_n though_o not_o in_o truth_n it_o suppose_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o creature_n not_o only_o to_o satisfy_v for_o its_o own_o but_o also_o for_o another_o unrighteousness_n whereas_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o of_o the_o best_a schoolman_n even_o of_o bernard_n scotus_n and_o gabriel_n if_o we_o may_v believe_v vasques_n that_o no_o creature_n can_v have_v a_o righteousness_n adequate_a
