thai I bcleevc you wi;l JCKnawledgc ihat it cannot Itand with the j;;iL«nt's*"o«K<br />
jurtice ot God to impute our iiiis to uur innocent Saviour. For,<br />
To impu c 1m to any, is to account than tor guilty lin<strong>net</strong>s : and<br />
to imputt ti\€ guile ot other mens fins to any , is to account them<br />
guilty <strong>of</strong> othu mens fins by participation: but incafctnt^c bene<br />
.participation with other men in their fins, then it cannot ihnd<br />
with ju'lice to impute othc r mens fias to them. Shimei Taid thus<br />
unto David, Let not mj Lord impute iniquitie unto me, neither remember<br />
that I did per verjljf. i Sam. 19.19. By this fpccch <strong>of</strong> Shhmci<br />
it is evident, that to impute fin t » any, is to charge ihcm with<br />
lin , and to remember it, and to reckon it up againft them : bur<br />
many times men d.) iin)ul}ly impute i\v\ to others, cither upon bare<br />
furmifes, or our <strong>of</strong> a malicious intent againft them : bu: God is the<br />
righteous Judge ot ali the world, thcrctorc he cannot chuTe but do<br />
right, when he d^th impute fin to any. Gen. 18. Rom. 3.4. We are<br />
ftire (faith the Ap<strong>of</strong>tlc ) that the^udgemeytt <strong>of</strong> God isjitcording to<br />
TrHth. Rom.2.i. He doth never impute fin to aoy, but according<br />
tothccxadiuleot Jullice, reckoning up and rcmembring both<br />
the number and the nature <strong>of</strong>every (\n : ifhe impute blood to any,<br />
he doth it upon certain grounds <strong>of</strong> knowledge and truth; therefore<br />
thar man (hall certainly be cut <strong>of</strong>f. Lev. 1 7.4.<br />
Secondly, Not to impure fin to any, is to acquit them from the<br />
guih <strong>of</strong> Sin, as Shimeis Ipeech zo D.tzid doth declare , Let not my<br />
Lord Jaith he) impute iniquitie tc »
