to kill his son, though it were not so before God. So Psal. 106. we read how God accounted the act of Phine as for righteousness; thus you see how works are accounted righteousness in the second kind of righteousness. In the former righteousness we are justified by faith; for in righteousness inherent there is a goodly chain of virtues: Add to your faith virtue, &c. add one grace to another; Add to virtue knowledge; ⟨p. 399⟩faith is but one part of the Crown. Now this justification in the first sense whereby my sins are forgiven, is called the righteousness of God, because of Christ which is God, because its wrought by Christ, Dan. 9. he is called an everlasting righteousness, which continueth for ever world without end; for do not think the Saints in heaven have only the second kind of righteousness; for they have the same covering by justification by Christ in heaven that they had before; God covers their sins not here only, but there also; justification follows them for ever.
to kill his sonne, though it were not so before God. So Psal. 106. we read how God accounted the act of Phine as for righteousness; thus you see how works are accounted righteousnesse in the second kinde of righteousnesse. In the former righteousnesse we are justified by faith; for in righteousnesse inherent there is a goodly chaine of vertues: Adde to your faith vertue, &c. adde one grace to another; Adde to vertue knowledge; ⟨p. 399⟩faith is but one part of the Crown. Now this justification in the first sense whereby my sinnes are forgiven, is called the righteousnesse of God, because of Christ which is God, because its wrought by Christ, Dan. 9. he is called an everlasting righteousnesse, which continueth for ever world without end; for do not think the Saints in heaven have onely the second kinde of righteousnesse; for they have the same covering by justification by Christ in heaven that they had before; God covers their sins not here onely, but there also; justification follows them for ever.
