EXPLICATION.
1. That Justification by Faith is in foro-Dei, and not in foro conscientiae primarily, see Dr. Downam's Appendix to Covenant of Grace against Mr Pemble. Conscience is but an inferior, petty, improper Judge: The work must be transacted chiefly at a higher Tribunal. View all the Scriptures that mention Justification by Faith, and you shall find by the Text and Context that they relate to the bar of God, but not one directly to the bar of Conscience. It is one thing to be justified, and another thing to have it manifested to our Consciences that we are so.

2. That it is not directly at the bar of the World, all will acknowledge.
