Aretius in Heb. 5. 9.
The benefit of Redemption is universal, and indeed belongs to all in general, so be it we obey him.
The benefit of Redemption is universall, and indeed belongs to all in generall, so be it we obey him.
Calvin in Luk. 1. 6.
We must so expound whatsoever the Scripture speaks of the Righteousness of men, that it overthrow not the forgiveness of sins, whereon it resteth as a building on its foundation. They who simply expound it, that Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous by Faith, because they were freely accepted of God for the Mediators sake, do wrest the words of Luke to a strange sense: And as to the matter it self, they say something, but not the whole. I confess indeed, that the righteousness which is ascribed to them, ought to be acknowledged as received from the Grace of Christ, and not to the merit of works; yet the Lord, because he imputed not to them their sins, doth dignify their holy life, with the title of Righteousness. The folly of the Papists is easily refelled, who oppose this Righteousness to the Righteousness of Faith; when as it flows from it, so it ought to be placed in subordination to it, that so there be no disagreement between them.
