This is gathered from the 5 verse, at the end. But they are acceptable not as merits, but as sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, as it is intimated in the Text.
Reason 1. Because by Christ our persons are reconciled ⟨p. 47⟩unto God, and received into the number of those whom God approves, and by whom he delights to be worshipped.
2. Because Christ covers our infirmities.
3. Because by his intercession our duties are commended unto God.
Use 1. This may serve to comfort us, even when we look upon our own infirmities, and the unworthiness of all our performances.
