2. So they talk much of Imputation, and neither know nor tell you what Imputation is: But take it mostly to be that which even Dr. Crispe calleth a charging God with falsehood; as if it were his Reputing, Reckoning, Esteeming or Supposing us to be what indeed we are not▪ or to have done or suffered what we did not, or to have what we have not: Whereas Paul meaneth nothing (& [Greek or Hebrew] signifieth nothing but a true accounting us to be what we are, and to have done what we did, and to have what we indeed have. And to impute righteousness to us, signifieth but truly to Repute, Account or Judge us Righteous. Those that are here most inclined to mistake, should the rather take Mr. Bradshaw to be impartial, because he was for Independent Church Government (tho sharp against Separation.) And in the Preface to his English Edition of his little Book of Justification, he hath in a few lines said enough to end all this Controversy, by a true explaining in what sense Christs Righteousness is imputed to us, and how not.
