So hath Abraham's faith, Rom. 4.3. Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness—v. 5. To him that worketh not, but believeth on him (on God) that justifieth ⟨p. 345⟩the ungodly, his Faith is counted for righteousness—v. 8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin —v. 17. Before him whom he believed, even God who quickeneth the dead— v. 20. He staggered not at the Promise of God— Being fully persuaded, that what he had promised, he was also able to perform. v. 21, 22. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but for us also to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Abundance such testimonies are obvious in Scripture; but this being as plain as can be spoken, he maketh his own Faith, who refuseth to believe it. Our Faith in God as God hath as much hand in our Justification, as our Faith in Christ as Mediator.
