Sect. 5. 4. Should I prove that All Righteousness, so far maketh Righteous; and that making Righteous, is a Justifying, which goeth before Judging us Righteous; and that it is a putid contradiction, ⟨p. 60⟩to say, that any Righteousness doth not make Righteous, in tantum, School-boys would turn it into a derision of the opposers.
Sect. 6. 5. Should I prove by Argument, that no Accident can by the same numerically in divers Subjects, nor tra•si•• a Subjecto in Su•jectum; and so the Habit, Act, and Relation of Righteousness in Christ's Person, cannot •n it self be our Habit, Act, or Relation, unless our Persons, and Christ's, be really the same; every novice in Logic, would be too much occasioned to insult over the ignorant gain-sayer.

Sect. 7. 6. Should I prove, that to Justify Efficiently by making Righteous, and to Justify Constitutively (being our Righteousness) and to Justify by Plea, or by Witness, or by Evidence, and to Justify in Estimation or Account, and to Justify by decisive Sentence of a Judge, and to Justify Executively, and to Justify privately in Conscience, and to Justify publicly before Rulers or the World, or more publicly, at the Bar of God, are several senses, of the Word Justification, and several sorts; what man of sense would not pity the Confounder that denieth it, and talk, as if the Word had but one sense?
