36. It is an error contrary to the scope of the Gospel to say, that the Law of Works, or of Innocency, doth justify us, as performed either by our selves, or by Christ. For that Law condemneth and curseth us; And we are not efficiently justified by it, but from or against it.

37. Therefore we have no Righteousness in Reality or Reputation formally ours, which consisteth ⟨p. 62⟩in the first species; that is, in a Conformity to the Preceptive part of the Law of Innocency; we are not reputed Innocent: But only a Righteousness which consisteth in Pardon of all sin, and right to life, (with sincere performance of the Condition of the Covenant of Grace, that is, True Faith.)
38. Our pardon puts not away our Guilt of Fact or Fault, but our Guilt of, or, obligation to Punishment. God doth not repute us such as never sinned, or such as by our Innocency merited Heaven, but such as are not to be damned, but to be glorified, because pardoned and adopted through the Satisfaction and Merits of Christ.
