Second Proposition.
That we are as completely Righteous as Christ is; or, that Christ is not more Righteous than a Believer.
That we are as compleatly Righteous as Christ is; or, that Christ is not more Righteous than a Believer.
I cannot imagine what should induce any Man so to express himself, unless it be a groundless conceit and fancy, that there is an essential Transfusion of Christ's justifying Righteousness into Believers, ⟨p. 385⟩whereby it becomes theirs by way of subjective inhesion, and is in them in the very same manner it is in him: And so every individual Believer becomes as completely Righteous as Christ. And this conceit they would fain establish upon that Text, 1 Joh. 3. 7. He that doth righteousness, is righteous, even as he is righteous.
