Of the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers in what sense [sic] sound Protestants…Of the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers in what sence [sic] sound Protestants…

But Mr. William Bradshaw, a Learned Godly Nonconformist, being grieved at the differences about the Active and Passive Righteousness, and thinking that Mr. Wotton denied all Imputation of the Active Righteousness (which he did not, but owneth it to be Imputed as a meritorious Cause:) Part. 2. li. 1. Cap. 13. pag. 165. Ne illud quidem negaverim, imputari nobis illius justitiam & obedientiam, ut ad nostrum fructum redundet: Id unum non concedo, Legem nos in Christo & per Christum servâsse, ut propter eam a nobis praestitam vita aeterna ex faedere, Hoc fac et vives, debeatur. Mr. Bradshaw I say attempted a Conciliatory middle way, which indeed is the same in the main with Mr. Wotton's: He honoureth the Learned Godly persons on each side, but maintaineth that the Active and Passive Righteousness are both Imputed, but not in the rigid sense of Imputation denying both these Propositions. 1. That Christ by the Merits of his Passive Obedience only, hath freed us from the guilt of all sin, both Actual and Original, of Omission and Commission. 2. That in the Imputation of Christs Obedience both Active and Passive, God doth so behold and consider a sinner in Christ, as if the sinner himself had done and suffered those very particulars which Christ did and suffered for him. And he wrote a small book with great accurateness in English first, and Latin after, opening the nature of Justification, which hath been deservedly applauded ever since. His bosom-Friend Mr. Tho. Gataker, (a man of rare Learning and Humility) next set in to defend Mr. Bradshaw's way, and wrote in Latin Animadversions on Lucius (who opposed ⟨p. 21⟩Piscator, and erred on one side for rigid Imputation) and on Piscator who on the other side was for Justification by the Passive Righteousness only; and other things he wrote with great Learning and Judgment in that cause.
