for our transgressions, hee vvas brused for our iniquities, the chastise∣ment of our peace was vpon him, and with his stripes vvee are healed.
Note then, That by Christ's stripes and satisfaction, is our healing or justifi∣cation: & that this satisfaction of Christs is made ours onlie by imputation, that Romane Doctor confesseth, Bellarmine, lib. 2. de justificatione, c. 10. §. deinde.
Ier. 23.6. In his dayes Iudah shall bee saved, and Israel shall dwell safelie, and this is his Name vvhere-by hee shall bee called, THE LORD OVR RIGHTEOVSNESSE.

But manie were made sinners, being yet in his loynes, onlie by imputation, (as the Apostle sayth, verse 12. In whom all sinned) therefore also by the obe∣dience of Christ manie are made righ∣teous by imputation onlie, in the act of justification before God, as saide is.
