2. So that if the word should signify as much as to make ⟨p. 7⟩righteous, as to sanctify doth signify to make holy, still we could grant it, though not in the Popish way; and indeed the Apostle Rom. 5. saith, many are made righteous by the second Adam, which if not meant of inherent holiness, doth imply, that the righteousness we have by Christ is not merely declarative, but also constitutive; and indeed one is in order before the other, for a man must be righteous before he can be pronounced or declared so to be. But the Hebrew word doth not signify this sense primarily; for whereas the Hebrew word in Call doth signify to be righteous by a positive quality; The word in Hiphil according to that Rule in Grammar, signifieth to attribute and account this righteousness unto a man by some words, or other testimony, even as the word that in Call signifieth to b• wicked, doth in Hiphil signify to condemn and judge a man as wicked, so that there are these two things in justifying, whereof one is the ground of the other, first to make righteous, and then to pronounce or declare so.
