2. And as to the Phrase, Doth this Doctor, or can any living Man find that Phrase in Scripture, [Christ's Righteousness is imputed to us]? And when he knoweth that it is not there, are not his Exclamations, and his Bug-bears [Cracovian Reason, and Bellarmine] his dishonour, that hath no better Weapons to use against the Churches Peace? To tell us that the sense or Doctrine is in Scripture, when the question is of the Phrase, or that Scripture speaketh in his rigid sense, and not in ours, is but to lose time, and abuse the Reader, the first being impertinent, and the second the begging of the Question.
§. 3. Dr. T. The Greek word answering to Imputation, is ten times in Rom. 4. And what is imputed but Righteousness? we have then some imputed Righteousness. The Question is, only what or whose it is, Christ's or our own? Not ours, therefore Christs: If ours, either its the Righteousness of Works, or of Faith, &c.
Answ. 1. But what's all this to the Phrase? Could you have found that Phrase [Christ's Righteousness is imputed], why did you not recite the words, but Reason as for the sense?
