Neither deo we allow of those which set our justification in the only remission of sins: denying the imputation of the justice and obedience of Christ: which we think to be repugnant to the Scriptures.
Neither deo wee allow of those which set our iustificatiō in the only remission of sinnes: denying the imputation of the iustice and obedience of Christ: which we thinke to be repugnant to the Scriptures.
Isaiah 7. A child is given unto us, &c, Whatsoever ⟨p. 329⟩therefore he did, or hath, it is wholly ours.
Esay 7. Achild is giuen vnto vs, &c, Whatsoeuer ⟨p. 329⟩therefore he did, or hath, it is wholly ours.
Rom. 5. As by one mans disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one, many shall be made righteous. The disobedience of Adam, was the breaking of Gods commandment, therefore the obedience of Christ consisteth not only in his death, but also in his whole former keeping of the law. Likewise, the disobedience of Adam was wholly imputed to us: why not then also Christs whole obedience? Also we are two manner of ways made sinners by Adams disobedience: namely by imputation of his transgression, and by the real derivation of sin, that is, of concupiscence into us. Why then should we not think the same of Christ? The virtue of his obedience to the commandments of God the father, is truly communicated unto us: so that we also begin to obey Gods law. What lets then, why we may not say, that his whole obedience is imputed unto us?
