Whence two things arise to keep doubtings and feares off, viz.
1. That though our holiness ⟨p. 265⟩be weak, yet Christs is strong; that righteousness which justifies, is full. When 1we look upon our selves, Ah Lord! think we, How shall we appear before God! How will he accept of us! Such poor, such weak, such sinful, hollow people!

God hath set him out to be our righteousness, and he justifies us by it.
