I. APHORISME.
IF the question be how a man is justified before God: To justify doth signify as much as to aacquit, discharge or absolve in Latin, so far as that word signifieth the action of a judge. A man is said therefore to be justified before God, which is accounted just in Gods Judgement, and accepted before God for his righteousness.
IF the question be how a man is iustified before God: To iustifie doth signifie as much as to aacquite, discharge or absolue in Latin, so far as that word signifieth the action of a iudge. A mā is said therfore to be iustified before God, which is accounted iust in Gods Iudgement, and accepted before God for his righteousnesse.
