THESIS LVII.
IT is the Act of Faith which justifieth men at age, and not the habit: yet not as it is a good work, or as it hath in it's self any excellency in it above other Graces: But 1. In the nearest sense, directly and properly as it is, [The fulfilling of the Condition of the New Covenant:] 2. In the remote and more improper sense, as it is [The receiving of Christ and his satisfactory Righteousness.]

In the remote and more improper sence, as it is [The receiving of Christ and his satisfactory Righteousnesse.]
