Now this Righteousness Christ doth communicate to us by Imputation making it ours, as if we in our own persons had wrought it. And it is as truly ours to save us, to justify us, as it is his to glorify him. And God looking upon us through Christ, and Christ looking upon us in himself, as clothed with his Righteousness, he beholds us beautiful. He sees no iniquity in Jacob, nor transgression in Israel. Not but that there was iniquity in Jacob; but God did not see it; God looked on him as clothed with the Righteousness of Christ, and so is said, not to see it.

Now this Righteousnesse Christ doth communicate to us by Imputation making it ours, as if we in our own persons had wrought it. And it is as truly ours to save us, to justifie us, as it is his to glorifie him. And God looking upon us through Christ, and Christ looking upon us in himself, as cloathed with his Righteousness, hee beholds us beautifull. Hee sees no iniquity in Jacob, nor transgression in Israel. Not but that there was iniquity in Jacob; but God did not see it; God looked on him as cloathed with the Righteousnesse of Christ, and so is said, not to see it.

As the Sun shining through a red glass upon a wall, the wall looks red: not that this colour is inherent in it; but relucent upon it: So God looking on us through Christ, doth behold us Righteous in his Righteousness; not that this is inherent in us, or beheld in us; as the Papists charge us, but quoad gratiosum Dei conspectum, we are rather beheld in it.
