Contr. 5. Whether we are justified by Christs Righteousness imputed to us: and whether the Scripture say so.
Ans. The Scripture oft saith, that Faith is imputed to us for Righteousness; and that is, Faith in Christ: And it saith, that Righteousness is imputed, or reckoned to us, that is, we are reckoned or reputed righteous, Rom. 4.11, 22.6. And that sin is not imputed, that is not charged on us to punishment, or damnation, Rom. 5.13. & 4.8. Psal. 32. v. 2. 2 Cor. 5.10. The words of Imputing Christs Righteousness to us, I find not in Gods Word, and therefore think them not necessary to the Churches peace or safety. But as for the sense of those words▪ no doubt but it may be good, & the Papists themselves own them in the same sense as many Protestant Divines profess to use them, as I have proved.
