Sop. 649. in the true Gain.
God doth as it were keep a double Court, one of justice, the other of Mercy. In the Court of justice he gives judgment by the Law, & accuseth every man that continueth not in all things, &c. In this Court nothing can stand but the Passion and Righteousness of Christ; and for the best works that we can do, ⟨p. 328⟩we may not look for any acceptation or reward, but use the plea of David, Enter not into judgement with thy servant, O Lord, for no flesh shall be justified in thy sight. Now in the Court of Grace and Mercy God hath to deal with his own children, that stand before him justified and reconciled by Christ, and the obedience of such he accepteth in this Court, and mercifully regardeth, though imperfect—for christ.
