The second is in justification,2 that faith and belief in Christ, that was wrought in effectual calling, it frees me from the guilt of my sins. For when the Gospel (in effectual calling) discovers, that Christ is such a one, and that there is such an estate in Christ; and there is faith wrought in me: then that faith lays hold upon the obedience of Christ to be mine. For Christ in the Gospel offers his obedience ⟨p. 48⟩to be mine, as if I had done it in mine own person; whatsoever Christ did or suffered is mine: for he is made of God, to be Wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, to be all in all; the Gospel sets him forth to be so. Now faith laying hold of Christ, to be made of God all in all, obedience, righteousness, &c. whatsoever is needful, hereupon this faith justifies me, hereupon I come to be free from the guilt of my sins, because my sins were laid upon Christ, Christs death, was the death of a surety; it was as if I had dyed my self, and more firm; thus I come to be free in justification: for what my surety hath done, I have done.
