2. It differs from the righteousness of the Law in use; for the Law doth require this righteousness as an accomplishment of the Covenant of works, to justify us before God by the merit and worth of it; but the Gospel requireth this as an act of obedience alone to show our thankfulness, and to prove us truly justified before God, because as it is said,1 There is not a Law given which could give life, seeing that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, 2and whosoever goes about to put this righteousness into the use of justifying him before God, I mean of attaining eternal life and remission of sins from God by virtue and worth of it, that man cannot but be damned, because he cannot have the imputed righteousness and the inherent both for that purpose. If he trust to Christs righteousness he cannot trust to his own, if to his own he cannot trust to Christs, seeing S. Paul opposeth them as things contrary, saying, not having mine own but Christs, 3which were weakly spoken, if a man could have both to the use of justifying: yea he saith, He that will be justified by the Law is fallen from grace, 4and Christ is become of none effect unto him; and by the Law he seeks to be justified that seeketh to be justified before God by doing this and by his own working.
2. It differs from the righteousnesse of the Law in use; for the Law doth require this righteousnesse as an accomplishment of the Covenant of workes, to justifie us before God by the merit and worth of it; but the Gospell requireth this as an act of obedience alone to shew our thankfullnesse, and to proove us truly justified before God, because as it is said,1 There is not a Law given which could give life, seeing that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, 2and whosoever goes about to put this righteousnesse into the use of justifying him before God, I meane of attaining eternall life and remission of sinnes from God by vertue and worth of it, that man cannot but be damned, because he cannot have the imputed righteousnesse and the inherent both for that purpose. If he trust to Christs righteousnesse he cannot trust to his owne, if to his owne he cannot trust to Christs, seeing S. Paul opposeth them as things contrary, saying, not having mine owne but Christs,
