1But the Gospel telleth of another righteousness that is a companion of this, always at the same time and by the same means given that this is given, and it is a quality inherent in us and wrought in us by the Spirit of God, and floweth immediately from our faith. The Apostle S. Paul doth describe it plainly, saying, that We must count our selves dead unto sin but alive unto God, 2and then saith. We must not yield our members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin, but as weapons of righteousness to God, 3and saith, We are become servants to righteousness, 4and that we must yield our members servants unto righteousness, and again, must reign by righteousness unto life eternal. It is not the cause of our life but the way to it.5 It is a virtue wrought in us, by which we are made able to strive and endeavour, and desire to keep the Law. A man till he be justified by faith and reconciled to God, is estranged from the Lord and from the life of God and is an enemy in his mind, and is dead in sins, and loves sin and will not leave it, and out of a stiff and strong bent of will to sin cannot but serve sin, and will and resolve to continue serving it in one kind or other.
