I answer; It is well at present with most that do well; look over all the sons of men, and generally ye shall find that usually the better they are, the better they live.

Secondly, I answer; It shall be well with all that do well in the issue, and for ever. This truth will abide to eternity; God will render unto man according to his righteousness.

Secondly, We may take the word righteousness, 1for the righteousness of justification; Mr Broughton inclines to that sense, He will restore unto man his justice. And presently adds by way of gloss; Justice is Christ; It is Christs Justice or righteousness that is restored to man. Christ is indeed The Lord our righteousness (Jer: 23.6.) And thus several others of the learned expound these words. He will render unto man his righteousness; That is, he will bestow upon him or restore to him righteousness in Christ; he will account him righteous, though he hath no righteousness of his own which will hold in Gods account. Elihu, I grant, calleth it Mans righteousness, his righteousness; yet we may well understand him calling it so, not because it is wrought by but because it is imputed to or bestowed upon man as his righteousness. That is ours which is freely given us, so is righteousness in justification by faith in Christ. We have no righteousness wrought in us or by us, for that purpose; but we have a righteousness wrought for us, and freely bestowed upon us, for that purpose, which is therefore truly called mans righteousness.
