2. Imputation of Righteousness; that we may be accounted perfectly Righteous before God: and this we have by the life of Christ. His Righteousness in yielding obedience to the Law, is imputed to us. And thus is our Acceptation with God completed. Being discharged from the guilt of our disobedience by the death of Christ, and having the Righteousness of the Life of Christ imputed to us, we have Friendship and Peace with God. And this is that which I call our Grace of Acceptation with God, wherein we have communion with Jesus Christ.

That which remains for me to do, is, to show how Believers hold distinct communion with Christ, in this Grace of Acceptation, §. 9 and how thereby they keep alive a sense of it, the comfort and life of it being to be renewed every day. Without this, life is an Hell; no Peace, no Joy can we be made partakers of, but what hath its rise from hence. Look what grounded persuasion we have of our Acceptation with God, that He is at peace with us, thereunto is the revenue of our Peace, Comfort, Joy, yea and Holiness it self proportioned.
