As for that place, 1 Tim. 3. where Christ is said to be justified in the spirit, that makes nothing at all to this Justification we speak of. For the meaning is, That Christ was declared just, and absolved from all the reproaches cast upon him, by the spirit of God, which was done several ways, as by the witness exhibited from heaven unto him, by the innumerable miracles he wrought. In which sense, Mat. 11. Wisdom is said to be justified of her children. So that Act. 2.22. seemeth to be a full Commentary on this place, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by signs and wonders, which God did by him in the midst of you: And this is that Justification of himself, which Christ speaks of, Isa. 50.8. It is true the Apostle doth apply that spoken of Christ to every believer, Rom. 8. by way of allusion; and the rather, because Christ being the head of the elect, it will be made good of them in time, when they do believe: otherwise election is not enough to free from present accusation or condemnation, unless by faith they be actually in Christ, as is to be showed more at large.
