1There is a double perfection, one of degrees, unattainable in this life, and it is when a man hath all the parts of obedience in the highest degree that the Law requireth of him, this is a legal perfection, ⟨p. 43⟩without which no man can be justified before God by the Law, and because no man can attain it, therefore, By the Law shall no flesh be justified, but believers have it in Christ, in whom they are made the righteousness or God, and to whom righteousness without works (meaning works of their own working, for they are such as work not in this sense) is imputed.

- 1It is twofold.
Perfection of parts, is when all the parts of goodness are found in a man. As a child of five years is a perfect man in respect of parts, he hath a soul, and body, he hath hands, head, heart, legs, &c. and therefore is that way perfect, though stature and strength, and discretion be not found in him in the same degree that after, when he is a grown man.
