The man that is contrite in heart, ¹& loatheth his sin from his heart, and repenteth him of his whole misled life, ²sighing unto God for remission of his sins, and hungering and thirsting for the true righteousness of Christ, we do believe, that as he was by the holy spirit endued with this repentance towards God: so also that he is by the same spirit endued with a lively faith in Christ, and even from the beginning was preordained to be joined unto Christ, as a member to the head: & therefore in him to obtain remission of his sins, and to be endued with his perfect righteousness, and so to be reputed truly righteous for Christ, into whom he is ingrafted, and to be absolved from all guilt: as the Apostle saith, ³There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ: and, Christ is made our righteousness.

I. They which haue true repentance, haue also a liuely faith, are ingrafted in Christ, and iustified in him.

II. He which through Christ, into whom he is ingrafted, is counted just: the same is also endued with inherent justice.

II. He which through Christ, into whom he is ingrafted, is counted iust: the same is also indued with inhaerent iustice.

III. Because this inherent righteousness is always by our own fault most unperfect: therefore we are just before God, only by the righteousness of Christ.

III. Because this inhaerent righteousnesse is alwaies by our owne fault most vnperfect: therefore we are iust before God, onely by the righteousnesse of Christ.

IV. By faith it is known, whether a man be justified in Christ: and therefore it is said that such a one is justified by faith.

IV. By faith it is knowne, whether a man be iustified in Christ: and therefore it is saide that such a one is iustified by faith.
