CHAP. I. Of the Dialogues Reasoning against the influence of Christs obedience into Iustification, by way of Imputation.
The Dialogue denying the imputation of sin unto Christ, thereupon necessarily denieth Christs suffering of the punishment due for sin (which is usually called his passive obedience) and therewithal all legal obedience performed by him in our stead whether passive or active; hereupon it is necessitated to deny all Legal Mediatorly obedience, and consequently the legal obedience of Christ to be the meritorious price of our redemption, or to be the matter of our Justification. For that which is not at all, cannot be either of them: so fruitful is error, one pulling on another.
