2 Objection. God cannot condemn the members of his Sonne. ⟨p. 181⟩Rom. 8.1 There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. The regenerate are the members of Christ. Therefore even as they are considered in themselves, they and their works cannot be condemned in the judgement of God. Answer. There is more in the conclusion than in the premisses. For this only followeth, That the Saints cannot be condemned: but this cometh in respect of Christ his satisfaction imputed to them, not in respect of their own obedience, which pleaseth GOD: not because it perfectly agreeth with the Law, but because the defects, and faults which cleave unto it, are pardoned through Christ.
