§. 20. 4. Righteousness, as related to the penal part of the Law of Grace, is our Right to ⟨p. 242⟩Impunity, as to the Punishment threatned specially by that Law.
§. 21. The meritorious Cause of both these last (our Right to Impunity, and to Life) is the Righteousness of Christ; for the sake of which the Condonation and Donations of the Covenant of Grace are given us.
§. 22. This Righteousness of Christ is his fulfilling the Conditions of his own proper Law or Covenant of Mediation: which is materially, 1. His habitual, 2. and actual Perfection in Resignation, Obedience and Love; 3. and therein his Humiliation and offering himself a Sacrifice for sin: 4. And all this exalted to acceptable Dignity by the Conjunction of the Divine Perfection.
