II. The second sort think that the Active and Passive Righteousness are imputed to us as our Righteousness.

Thus hath our weakness distracted and disgraced us. But Mr. Bradshaw truly noted, that if the sense of Imputation were well agreed of, the rest might well be reconciled; viz. that no Righteousness of Christ is imputed to us in the strict sense of Representation, as if we our selves were legally accounted to have been done or suffered, what Christ did, was and •uffered. But in the just sense of Imputation all is imputed to us, that is, Christs Habitual, Active and Passive Righteousness, fulfilling his own part of the Covenant, advanced in ⟨p. 25⟩dignity by the Union of the Divine nature and perfection was the true meritorious cause of our Justification, and not any one of these alone.
