The first Aphorisme.
Forasmuch as God is very righteousness it self,1 it is meet that he should save the righteous, and condemn the unrighteous. (1) But they only amongst men are righteous,2 who being united and grafted in Christ by saith, yea, and also rooted in him: and being made one body with him, (2) are in him and by him justified and sanctified, that is, made righteous and holy. Whereby it is proved, (3) that the life whereunto they are ordained to the glory ⟨image 61⟩of God, doeth by a certain right appertain unto them only.
