Not to note the weakness and impertinence of this Answer,1 I shall only take notice of what you here allow, and grant, That Faith is appointed as an Instrument to receive and apply the Righteousness of Christ, which is the alone matter of our Justification before God. Whence I infer three Conclusions.

First, That we cannot be justified before God till we believe, except you can prove, that the unaccepted and unapplied Righteousness of Christ doth actually justify our persons before God.
Secondly, That the justification of our persons before God, is, and must be suspended (as by a non-performed Condition) until we actually believe. Which two Conclusions yield up your Cause to my Argument, which you here seem to oppose.
