The imputation of Christs righteousness is the other part of our justification, whereby God imputeth unto every believer the righteousness of the mediator Jesus Christ as if it were properly their own and performed by them, that being clothed therewith they may be perfectly righteous in Gods sight, and so obtain the right unto everlasting life and ⟨p. 569⟩happiness. And of this the apostle speaketh, Rom. 4.6.1 Even as (saith he) David declareth the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. 2and Rom. 9.30. The Gentiles which followed not righteousness have attained unto righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. So Phil. 3.8.9.3 The Apostle saith that he accounted all things loss and judge them to be dung, that he might win Christ, and might be found in him not having his one righteousness which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ, even the righteousness which is of God through faith. Jer. 23.6.

And of this the apostle speaketh, Rom. 4.6.1
