And when we believe, we are justly reputed such as have Right to all these purchased Gifts.
4. And that it may be understood how far Christ did Obey or Suffer in our stead, or person, we must distinguish, 1. Between his taking the Nature of sinful man, and taking the Person of sinners. 2. Between his taking the Person of a sinner, and taking the Person of you and me, and each particular sinner. 3. Between his taking our sinful persons simply, & ad omnia, and taking them only, secundum quid, in tantum, & ad hoc. 4. Between his suffering in the Person of sinners, and his obeying and sanctity in the Person of sinners▪ or of us in particular. 5. Between his Obeying and Suffering in our Person, ⟨p. 53⟩and our Obeying and Suffering in his Person (Natural or Political.) And now I shall make use of these distinctions, by the Propositions following.
Prop. 1. The phrase of [Christ's Righteousness imputed to us] is not in the Scripture.
