Paul finds imputation of righteousness, Rom. 4.6. in Davids not imputation of sin, Psal. 32.1.2. Imputation of righteousness, the effect whereof is our justification, consisting of the not-imputing of unrighteousness, and the accepting of us as righteous: Paul teacheth expressly, David by consequence.

Dialogu. The word [Greek or Hebrew] which is translated in ver. 6. hath laid upon, is translated in the 12. ver. of this 35. ch. hath made intercession, and therefore the Verb signifying both incurrere fecit and intercessit, is too weak a foundation for the doctrine of imputation, and of Christs suffering Gods wrath.
