Dialogu. ANd now for a conclusion I will summe up the Doctrine of Justification into six heads.
1. The subject matter of Justification is, believing sinners of all sorts both Jews and Gentiles all the world over. 2. The formal cause of Justification, or of a sinners righteousness is, the Fathers atonement, pardon, and forgiveness. 3. The meritorious procuring cause of the Fathers atonement for a sinners Justification, is, Christs Mediatorial Sacrifice of atonement. 4. The next instrumental means by which a sinner ⟨p. 237⟩doth receive and apprehend the Fathers atonement for his Justification, is faith in Christ. 5. The only efficient cause of all the former causes and effects, is Gods free grace and mercy in himself. 6. The end of all is the glory of Gods free grace and mercy in the believing sinners justification and salvation.
