The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

Once the Participle is used to denote the outward instrumental cause of the Justification of others, in which place alone there is any doubt of its sense. Dan. 12.3. [Greek or Hebrew]; And they that justify many; namely, in the same sense that the Preachers of the Gospel are said to save themselves and others. 1 Tim. 4.16. For men may be no less the Instrumental causes of the Justification of others, than of their Sanctification.

Dan. 12.3. 〈non-Latin alphabet〉; And they that justify many; namely, in the same sense that the Preachers of the Gospel are said to save themselves and others. 1 Tim. 4.16.

Wherefore although [Greek or Hebrew] in Kal, signifies justum esse, and sometimes just agere, which may relate unto inherent Righteousness; yet where any action towards another is denoted, this word signifies nothing, but to esteem, declare, pronounce, and adjudge any one absolved, acquitted, cleared, justified: There is therefore no other kind of Justification once mentioned in the Old Testament.
