§. Sect. 2 The material cause of our justification is the active and passive righteousness and obedience of Jesus Christ,1 his inherent holiness, his fulfilling of the law, his death, sacrifice, and full satisfaction. So that we are not justified by the essential righteousness of the godhead, nor by our own works joined with Christs merits, nor by any inherent righteousness infused of God through the merits of Christ; or by any other thing in our selves or any other mere creature, but by the alone righteousness of our mediator Jesus Christ God ⟨p. 565⟩and man, which is out of our selves and in Christ as the proper subject thereof, and not belonging to us till by the spirit of God and a lively faith it be applied unto us and so becometh ours.
