And hereof cometh our Justification, properly so called, that is to say, Gods censure and Judgement of us, approving us for holy and righteous before him, & as having that Righteousness, that is able to abide his presence. So as even by the sentence of God himself, and in his most exact Justice, we are freed, and absolved, and declared righteous, and worthy of everlasting life: which is that the Scripture opposeth to the sentence of condemnation, Rom. 8. 33, 34. Who shall lay accusation to the Elect of God? It is God that justifieth, who can condemn? Thus the Apostle speaketh, Rom. 5. 18. As by one offence guilt came upon all men unto condemnation; so by ⟨p. 452⟩one ^cfulfilling of Righteousness (that is, by Christs perfect fulfilling of the Law) the benefit came upon all unto Justification of life, or to the declaring and approving of us just before God, whereby we obtain everlasting life.
