The fourth or last point is, when and how long faith alone justifieth? I answer, not only in the beginning of our conversion, but also in the continuance, and final accomplishment thereof. For here Paul desires in the day of judgement to stand before God only by the justice of faith, without his own justice of the law. And Paul brings in Abraham (as I have noted before) in the very middest of godly conversation and holy obedience to be justified without any works by his faith in the Messiah.¹ And Paul avoucheth three things of faith:² by it we have access to the grace of God: by it we stand in the same grace: by it we rejoice under the hope of glory.

And here is plainly discovered the error of the church of Rome. It makes a double justification: one whereby a sinner is made of an evil man a just man; and this they say is by faith alone: the second is, whereby a man of a just man is made more just: and this (they say) is by faith and works together: but falsely, as I have showed.

Thus then, we see there is one onely waie of iustification, namely that we are iustified and accepted of God to life eternall through grace alone, by faith
