several_a thing_n first_o the_o scripture_n must_v be_v the_o great_a rule_n to_o judge_v of_o justification_n by_o there_o i_o find_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n blood_n that_o we_o be_v make_v righteous_a by_o his_o obedience_n but_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o a_o pardon_n i_o find_v not_o there_o i_o read_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v to_o we_o righteousness_n that_o we_o be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o but_o not_o that_o a_o immunity_n from_o punishment_n be_v a_o righteousness_n i_o know_v many_o learned_a divine_n take_v justification_n and_o pardon_n to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o chief_a scripture_n which_o look_v that_o way_n the_o first_o be_v rom._n 4._o there_o the_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n ver._n 6._o and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n verse_n 7._o and_o 8._o seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o the_o quotation_n of_o the_o 32._o psalm_n seem_v to_o make_v it_o clear_a to_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o do_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n lie_v down_o this_o conclusion_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n ver._n 28._o and_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n he_o lay_v down_o this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n ver._n 4._o that_o be_v perfect_a work_n such_o as_o man_n may_v glory_v in_o such_o as_o may_v make_v the_o reward_n of_o debt_n abraham_n himself_o can_v not_o reach_v such_o a_o justification_n this_o be_v prove_v by_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v this_o abraham_n faith_n be_v count_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o work_n the_o other_o be_v this_o a_o justify_v man_n be_v a_o pardon_v one_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o work_n for_o perfect_a obedience_n leave_v no_o room_n at_o all_o for_o a_o pardon_n touch_v the_o first_o i_o shall_v first_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o object_n of_o abraham_n faith_n and_o then_o how_o faith_n be_v count_v for_o righteousness_n the_o primary_n object_n of_o abraham_n faith_n be_v chrrist_n for_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o three_o

abraham_n be_v set_v forth_o as_o a_o great_a pattern_n of_o believe_v and_o he_o can_v hardly_o be_v so_o to_o christian_n if_o his_o faith_n have_v not_o for_o substance_n the_o same_o object_n

christ_n righteousness_n answer_v to_o the_o law_n here_o i_o crave_v leave_n to_o set_v down_o the_o word_n of_o a_o excellent_a person_n though_o different_a from_o myself_o in_o this_o point_n
