9 The instrumental is of two sorts, the one in respect of God that justifieth, which is Christ himself; the other in respect of us, that lay hold upon imputation of righteousness; and the same is faith, embracing firmly the promises of the grace of God in Christ.
9 The instrumentall is of two sortes, the one in respect of God that justifieth, which is Christ himselfe; the other in respect of vs, that lay holde vpon imputation of righteousnes; and the same is faith, imbracing firmely the promises of the grace of God in Christ.
10 The final likewise is two-fold; the one in respect of GOD, and that is, that he might declare his righteousness unto men, by partaking the same with them, and also the glory of his name, the which he maketh more clear in the vessels of mercy: the other in respect of us, that we may at the length, enjoy indeed that life, which is laid up for us in the Heavens, which now we possess by hope only.
10 The finall likewise is two-folde; the one in respect of GOD, and that is, that hee might declare his righteousnes vnto men, by partaking the same with them, and also the glorye of his name, the which hee maketh more cleare in the vessels of mercie: the other in respect of vs, that wee may at the length, enjoy indeed that life, which is laied vp for vs in the Heauens, which now we possesse by hope onely.
11 The effect inherent in us, as in a subject, is that new quality, which is called inherent righteousness, or regeneration, which in no wise doth absolve us in the presence of God; but is only a most sure witness of our engrafting into Christ, and therefore, of our free absolution in him.
