§. 37.
Mr Bl. A Perfection of sufficiency to attain the end, I willingly grant, God condescending through rich grace, to crown weak obedience: in this sense, our imperfection hath its perfectness: otherwise I must say that our inherent righteousness is an imperfect righteousness, in an imperfect conformity to the rule of righteousness, and without this reference to the rule, there is neither perfection nor imperfection in any action. See D. Davenant disputing against Justification by inherent righteousness upon the account of the imperfection of it, de instit. habit. p. 349. and how fully he was persuaded of the imperfection of this righteousness appears by sentences prefixed before two Treatises, as may be seen in the margin.
