5. Sometimes for Justification by the Apology of an Advocate, (which is not Absolution).
6. Sometimes for Justification by Witness.
7. And sometimes, perhaps, by Evidence. As appeareth, Isa 50.8. Rom. 8.33. (and so God himself is said to be justified, Psal. 51.4. Rom. 3.4. and Christ, 1 Tim. 3.16.) 1 King. 8.32. Hear thou in Heaven, and do, and judg thy Servants, condemning the Wicked to bring his way upon his Head; ⟨p. 139⟩and justifying the Righteous, to give him according to his Righteousness, (where the Sentence is passed by the Act of Execution). Is this absolving him from the Curse of the Law? So 1 Chron. 6.23. so Mat. 12.37. & Jam. 2.21, 24, 25. where Justification by our Words and by Works is asserted; and many other Texts so speak: Frequently to Justify, is to maintain one, or prove him to be just. It's strange that any Divine should find but one sort of sense of Justification before God mentioned in the Scriptures.
