Chapter 4: Of Justification, the notion and signification of the Word in the Scripture.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
But the true and genuine signification of these words is to be determined from those in the Original languages of the Scripture which are expounded by them. In the Hebrew it is [Greek or Hebrew] This the Lxx. render by [Greek or Hebrew] Job. 27.5. [Greek or Hebrew], Chap. 13.18. [Greek or Hebrew] Prov. 17.15. To show or declare one Righteous; to appear Righteous; to judge any one Righteous. And the sense may be taken from any one of them, as Chap. 13.18. [Greek or Hebrew] Behold now I have ordered my cause, I know that I shall be justified. The ordering of his cause, (his Judgment) his cause to be judged on, is his preparation for a sentence, either of Absolution or Condemnation; and hereon his confidence was that he should be Justified, that is, absolved, acquitted, pronounced Righteous. And the sense is no less pregnant in the other places; commonly they render it by [Greek or Hebrew], whereof I shall speak afterwards.
