3. That Christ is not the Lord our righteousness, or made of God to us, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption; nor we made the Righteousness of God in him: or that it is not the Righteousness of God by faith in Jesus Christ, which justifieth us.
4. That Christ suffered for his own sin, being either actually a sinner, or our sins made properly ⟨p. 309⟩his own sin, (in the guilt of culpability, and not only of punishment) before he suffered for them. And so that he was by real imputation or Divine reputation, the greatest Atheist, infidel, malignant, murderer, adulterer, &c. in the world, these sins being in their forms, or culpable guilt translated from all the elect on him.
5. That all the elect were justified from eternity, or before they were born, or while they were no true believers, by that justification which the Scripture meaneth when it saith we are justified by faith.
6. That the elect are justified by the Law of innocency made to Adam, or the Law of works made to and by Moses to the Jews; because they were Legally in Christ fulfilling them, and did perfectly fulfil them in him.
