Yea God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, 2 Cor. 5.18, 19. And God made him sin (that is, a sacrifice for sin) for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (that is, might be the public instances of Gods merciful Justice, as Christ was of his penal Justice; and this by a righteousness given us by God himself, and purchased or merited for us by Christ, 2 Cor. 5.21. yea and be renewed in holiness and righteousness according to his Image.
