The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

Great complaints have been made by some concerning the obscurity of the discourse of the Apostle in this place, by reason of sundry Ellipses, Antapodota, Hyperbata, and other Figures of Speech, which either are, or are feigned to be therein. Howbeit I cannot but think, that if Men acquainted with the common principles of Christian Religion, and sensible in themselves of the nature and guilt of our original apostasy from God, would without prejudice read [Greek or Hebrew], this place of the Scripture, they will grant that the design of the Apostle is to prove; that as the sin of Adam was imputed unto all Men unto condemnation, so the Righteousness and Obedience of Christ is imputed unto all that believe unto the Justification of life. The sum of it is given by Theodoret, Dial. 3. Vide, quomodo quae Christi sunt ⟨p. 466⟩cum iis quae sunt Adami conferantur, cum morbo medicina, cum vulnere emplastrum, cum Peccato justitia, cum execratione benedictio, cum condemnatione remissio, cum transgressione obedientia, cum morte vita, cum inferis regnum, Christus cum Adam, homo cum homine.
