The phrase SACRIFICES of RIGHTEOUSNESS signifieth Righteous sacrifices, that is, Sacrifices done in Righteousness: Sacrifices (saith M. Ainsworth) just and right, and in faith, contrary to those which the Prophet reproveth, Mal. 1.14. Not Sacrifices causing Righteousness (which if so it were) did but further confirm that Christ the Antitype of the Legal Sacrifices by his obedience unto the death, purchased Righteousness by faith. So that hence there is neither cause nor occasion to confound Righteousness and Atonement. But let us proceed to your other Reasons.
