IV. Of the Materiall Cause of Iustification The Materiall cause of Iustificatiō Actiuely taken THe MATERIAL cause of our Iustification Actiuelie considered on Gods part is the Righteousnesse of CHRIST Rom. 4.6 called also the Righteousnesse of God Rom. 3.22 the gift of Righteousnes Rom. 5.17 that Righteousnes which is of God Phil. 3.9 the Righteousnesse of Faith and the Righteousnesse of the Gospell 2 It is termed the Righteousnesse of Christ Note because Christ is the Efficient cause thereof the Righteousnesse of God because GOD giueth the same freely and imputeth it vnto vs approueth it in his iudgement the Righteousnesse of Faith because we attaine vnto it or apprehend it by Faith onely and the Righteousnes of the Gospell because it is made manifest and reuealed in the Gospell The Righteousnes of Christ hath two parts 3 This Righteousnes being but one in number hath two parts 1. The Perfect fulfilling of the law of God 2. The Voluntarie payment of the punishment for our disobedience I. Fulfilling of the Law which is two-fold 4 THe Perfect fulfilling of the law is the full and exact conformitie of Christs humane nature and actions with the will of God reuealed in both tables of the Decalogue 5 And of this Perfect Conformity there are two members 1. Innocencie 2. Sanctitie or holinesse 6 The Innocencie of Christ 1. Innocencie is that immunity or freedome from Sin either Originall or Actuall For Christ neither had nor committed any sinne for hee was both cōceiued and borne without sinne and all his life time he neuer transgressed against the law of God either by fact or word or will or cogitation or by any euill concupiscence Ioh. 8.46.2 Corinth 5.21 1. Pet. 1.19 1. Pet. 2.22 Heb. 4.15 7 The Sanctitie of Christ 2. Sanctity is that integritie or purity which Christ had from the first moment of his conceptiō and retained in all his cogitatiōs words deeds and desires vntill his verie death vpon the Crosse Luk. 1.35 Act. 3.14 Act. 4.27.30 1. Ioh. 2.20 Apoc. 3.7 II. Bearing of the punishment 8 The Voluntary payment of the punishment for our disobedience is the whole humiliation of Christ from the beginning of his Conceptiō vntill his Glorification Philip. 2.7.8 Rom. 8.3 Galath 3.13 alibi passim Note well 9 Of these two mēbers cōsisteth that perfect and euery way absolute Righteousnesse whereby wee are iustified which both the Iustice of God the Office of a Mediatour and Saluation of Man necessarily required 10 I. The Iustice of God Because the Iustice of GOD could not otherwise haue been satisfied but by perfect fulfilling the Law and bearing the punishmēt which we had deserued for the breach thereof 11. II. The Office of a Mediatour Because our Suretie was reallie to pay the full price of our Redemption both actiuely by doing passiuely by suffring those things which we ought to haue performed 12 III. The Saluation of Man Because wee could neuer haue been redeemed otherwise than by satisfying the law and iustice of God by the perfect obedience and death of our Surety and Mediatour The Materiall cause Passiuely taken 13 The Materiall Cause of our Iustification Passiuely taken are all the Elect Rom. 8.33 being first in the state of Nature vngodlie Rom. 4.5 God iustifieth the vngodly and then in the state of supernaturall Grace beleeuing Rom. 3.22 The righteousnes of God by the faith of Iesus Christ is manifested vnto all and vpon all that beleeue 14 So much for the Materiall Cause of our Iustification Now of the Formall A PRAYER FOR liuely sense and assurance of Justification O Most merciful Lord Iesus Christ which shalt iudge al my words and workes or rather answere both for mee and them so direct and order and appoint my hart my thought tōgue and labours to thy honour and glorie that as thou art the Way the Truth and the Life so I doe nothing but walke in thy way think of thy trueth and aime at thy life that by a godlie
