THESIS. XXII.
IN this fore-explained sense it is, that men in Scripture are said to be personally righteous: And in this sense it is, that the Faith and duties of Believers are said to please God, viz. as they are related to the Covenant of Grace, and not as they are measured by the Covenant of Works.

EXPLICATION.
Those that will not acknowledge that the godly are called righteous in the Scripture, by reason of a personal Righteousness, consisting in the rectitude of their own dispositions & actions, as well as in regard of their imputed righteousness, may be convinced from these Scriptures, if they will believe them.
