358. As I have before said, that a man must be justified at that Day from the charge of Infidelity by his Faith it self (and not by Christ's Merits) and from the charge of Impenitence by his Repentance it self; So I add, that he must be justified from the charge of Hypocrisy by his sincerity, and from the charge of Rebellion by his subjection, and from the charge of wickedness by final godliness and obedience, and from the charge of Apostasy by perseverance; But from the charge of his wickedness before Conversion, and his pardoned sins and weakness since, only by Christ's Sacrifice and meritorious Righteousness, and the Pardon purchased thereby, and given in the New Covenant. And from the accusation that we are Sinners in general, we have no Justification at all.

359. Judgment is the Genus, and Justification, and Condemnation are the Species: Therefore to be judged according to our Works, is to be justified or condemned according to our Works.
