THESIS LXXIII.
From what hath been said, it appeareth in what sense Faith only justifieth; and in what sense Works also justify: viz. 1. Faith only justifieth, as it implieth and includeth all other parts of the condition of the new Covenant: and is so put in opposition to the Works of the Law, or the personal Righteousness of the old Covenant. 2. Faith only justifieth as the great principal master duty of the Gospel or chief part of its Condition, to which all the rest are some way reducible. 3. Faith only doth not justify in opposition to the Works of the Gospel; but those Works do also justify, as the secondary, less principal parts of the condition of the Covenant.
