1And the righteousness of the Gospel is twofold, one without us, performed by our blessed Saviour for us, as a surety pays the debt for the debtors use and benefit, by which we stand just before God, and have our sins pardoned and are accepted to salvation. When we have so seen our own misery as to go quite out of our selves and rest alone upon Christ for all good things according to the promise. The other is within us, it is a gift bestowed upon and wrought in us by the Spirit of God, always and inseparably joined with the former, by which we are manifested to our selves and to others to be just, and it standeth in a true desire and endeavour to know and leave every sin forbidden by God, and to know and do all good works required, so that we still continue to humble our selves for our failings, and to seek unto God for pardon and help in and by Christ and his Spirit. This righteousness of faith which denominates him in whom it is righteous, you must all get, else you shall never attain eternal life. It is a thing appointed of God in such ⟨p. 171⟩perfection of goodness and wisdom, that it cannot be found in any Hypocrite seem he never so good, and will surely be found in any upright hearted man be he never so weak; never leave striving till you have gotten it, and gotten certain knowledge that you have it.
