3. In what Justice differeth from Justification.
Justice is the very conformity it self with the law, and the fulfilling of the law, and the thing whereby we are just before God; which is the very satisfaction of Christ performed on the Cross. Justification is the application of that justice: and by this application, the thing whereby we are just, even that justice and satisfaction of Christ is made ours: and, except that be made ours, or applied and imputed unto us, we cannot be just; as neither the wall is made white, except whiteness be applied unto it: For even in like manner Justice differeth from Justification, or justifying, as whiteness ⟨p. 382⟩from whitening. So application and imputation are not all one: for imputation is not extended so far as application. For God alone doth impute, but we also do apply unto us. Now Justification is divided in like sort as is Justice: For there is one Justification legal, which is a working of conformity with God, or with the Law of God in us. 1This is begun in us by the holy Ghost, when as we are regenerated. There is another Justification evangelical, which is an application of his evangelical justice unto us; 2or, it is an imputation of another's justice, which is without us in Christ: or, it is an imputation and applying of Christs righteousness, which he performed by dying for us on the Cross, and rising again. It is not a transfusing of the qualities into us, but an assoiling and absolving us in judgement for another's righteousness. Wherefore, Justification and Remission of sins are all one: For, to justify, is, that God should not impute sin unto us,
