But such a kind of believing is imputed for Righteousness, and is that by which we are justified; so saith the Apostle, Rom. 4.5. to him who believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his Faith is imputed to him for Righteousness, and Rom. 10.10, 11. with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness, and in the next verse, he Interpreteth that believing, by believing on him; for the Scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him, &c.
But such a kind of beleeving is imputed for Righteousness, and is that by which wee are justified; so saith the Apostle, Rom. 4.5. to him who beleeveth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his Faith is imputed to him for Righteousness, and Rom. 10.10, 11. with the heart man beleeveth unto Righteousness, and in the next verse, hee Interpreteth that beleeving, by beleeving on him; for the Scripture saith, whosoever beleeveth on him, &c.
And therefore we conclude, so to believe is the justifying Act of Faith.
And therefore wee conclude, so to beleeve is the justifying Act of Faith.
