Q. What is this faith that ⟨p. 192⟩doth thus justifie the sinner?
Ans. It is a giftb, fruitc, on workd of the Spirit of God, whereby a soul is enabled, under a sight of its sins, and wretched estate, to lay hold on the birth, righteousness, blood, death, resurrection, ascension and intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the assistance of the Spirit, whereby it is wrought, to apply all the virtue, life and merit, of what hath been done and suffered, or is a doing by the same Lord Jesus Christ, to its own self in particular, Gal. 2. 20. Rom. 7. 24. 25. as if it self had really done all that the Lord Jesus Christ hath done,: I do not say, •hat the soul doth any thing for justification, but it doth know, that whatsoever Jesus Christ hath done in point of justification, is given to, and bestowed upon it, Rom. 3. 22. and God finding the soul in him, that is in Christ, doth justify ⟨p. 193⟩it from all things, from which it could not be justified by the law of Moses,
