Either all Christs active obedience was for us,1 or some of it only for himself; but there can no reason be given why any of it should be only for himself; If it should be granted (which the Protestant Writers do generally deny) that Christ merited for himself, yet the Proposition stands, if that Christ merited not only for himself but for us also.
