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?

Sect. 8. 7. Should I prove that by Imputing, Paul meaneth truly accounting a man Just that is so; reckoning that to him which he hath, and not feigning him to have what he hath not; even Dr. Crispe hath spared me that labour, venturing to say, that the contrary sense of Imputing, maketh God a Liar, or deceived. God never judged a man Righteous, that was not first made so.
