VI.
S. Paul doth well express this difference between justification and regeneration. For speaking of his inherent righteousness or integrity, which he had in regeneration, he crieth out bitterly: ô wretched aman that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death! But turning him ⟨p. 68⟩self to the righteousness of Christ imputed unto him (which is grounded upon the mere mercy of God, and given us in our justification) he rejoiceth bgreatly, & with full trust and affiance triumpheth over life and death, reproaches and wants, sword and all crosses of this present life.
