Rev. 22.11. He that is Righteous, let him be justified still, ([Greek or Hebrew]) which not only our Translators, but almost all Expositors take as inclusive ⟨p. 135⟩of Inherent Righteousness, if not principally speaking of it.

To speak freely, I remember not one Text of Scripture that useth the word [Justify] in this Doctor's sense; that is, Only for the said absolution from the Curse of the Law: For all those other Texts that speak for Justification by Christ's Grace, and Faith, and not by the Works of the Law, (as Rom. 3.20, 24, 28, 30. and 4.2, 5, 25. & 5.1, 9, 16, 18. 1 Cor. 4.4. Gal. 2.16, 17. & 3.8, 11, 24. & 5.4, &c.) do all seem to me to mean, not only that [we are absolved from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law], but also that we are first made, and then accounted Persons first meet for Absolution, and next meet for God's Acceptance of us as just, and as Heirs of Life Eternal, and meet for the great Reward in Heaven: For when the Apostle denieth Justification by Works; it is not credible that he meaneth only, that [By the Works of the Law no Man is absolved from the Curse of the Law]; But also, No Man by the Works of the Law, is before God taken for a Performer of the necessary Condition of Absolution and Salvation, nor fit for his Acceptance, and for the Heavenly Reward.
