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.

:477p. 147–148

We believe also, that, he which through ⟨p. 148⟩Christ, into whom he is ingrafted by the holy ghost, is accounted just, and is truly just, having obtained forgiveness of his sins in Christ, and imputation of his justice: the same man forthwith is possessed of the gift of inherent justice, so that he is not only perfectly and fully just in Christ his head, but hath also in himself true justice, whereby he is indeed made conformable unto Christ: although, while we remain in this flesh we can never have the same so perfected, but that it is by our own fault, spotted and defiled with many corruptions of our sins. Of which justice John saith, ¹He which doth righteousness or justice: that is, just works, he is righteous or just. For the Apostle doeth always join both these righteousnesses, aswell to the Romans, as in other his epistles, and teacheth they be both bestowed on the faithful through Christ: ²as he well proveth to the Philippians: And we affirm, that the later justice, the fruits whereof are made manifest to men, is so sure a testimony of the former, that where the last is absent,

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.
