1I answer, A just man is first he that renounceth his own justice which is of the Law and embraceth the righteousness of faith, even the righteousness which is of God by faith, relying wholly upon the merits of Christ and Gods mercy in Christ, for pardon ⟨p. 67⟩of his offences and acceptation of himself and his endeavours to salvation. The Scripture witnesseth that Noah was an heir of this righteousness, Heb. 11.7. And this is that that must be first found in every man. He must see and confess his own unrighteousness, and utterly disclaim his own righteousness as knowing that it is no better then a menstruous rag, in respect of his justification. Do you this my Brethren? Are you made to see your selves grievous sinners, such as in your selves must needs be damned, and cannot possibly be saved by the worth and merit of your own goodness.
1I answer, A just man is first he that renounceth his owne justice which is of the Law and imbraceth the righteousnesse of faith, even the righteousnesse which is of God by faith, relying wholy upon the merits of Christ and Gods mercy in Christ, for pardon ⟨p. 67⟩of his offences and acceptation of himselfe and his indeavours to salvation. The Scripture witnesseth that Noah was an heire of this righteousnesse, Heb. 11.7. And this is that that must be first found in every man.
