ROM. 3.24, 25. Being Iustified freely by his grace, &c.
Justification consisteth in these two particulars,1 Remission of sin, and Imputation of righteousness: Indeed here is diversity of expressions among the learned, as you have already heard: some thinking the whole nature of Justification to be only in Remission of sin, and therefore make it the same with Imputation of righteousness; others make one the ground of the other; some make Imputation of righteousness, the efficient or meritorious cause of our Justification, and Remission of sin, the only form of our Justification; others make Remission of sin the effect only of Justification. But howsoever we call these two things, yet this will be made plain, that God in Justification, vouchsafeth these two privileges to the person justified; First, He forgiveth his sins; Secondly, He imputeth righteousness, or rather, this latter is the ground of the former, as I showed before.
