36. To make a man righteous implieth, that he was before unrighteous: But to judge him righteous, supposeth him to be righteous; yet either accused of unrighteousness, or accusable; Justification here supposing either actual or virtual Accusation.
36. To make a man righteou• implieth, that he was before unrighteous: But to judge him righteous, supposeth him to be righteous; yet either accused of unrighteousness, or accusable; Justification here supposing either actual or virtual Accusation.
37. The Law is the Virtual Accuser, but that speaketh nothing but truth; (viz. that we sinned and deserved damnation.) Satan is the Actual Accuser, and the Father of Lies.
38. We shall not be justified by denying the true Accusation of the Law, but by denying the false Accusation of Satan: That we are sinners must be granted; and that our sin deserved Hell: But (that we have no part in Christ, that we are unpardoned, unreconciled sinners, that we are unbelievers, impenitent, unregenerate, unholy, or hypocrites, must be denied, or we perish: As also that hereupon we ought to be damned, and not to be glorified.
