Secondly; The Righteousness imparted is that which is wrought by Christ in the Soul; it is a supernatural Work, or a new Life planted in the Heart of every Believer, by the powerful Operations of the Holy-Ghost, whereby he is made holy, and enabled to approve himself to God and Men, in all purity of Life and Conversation.
By the Breastplate of Righteousness in the Text, we understand the Righteousness of Sanctification is principall• intended; for otherwise this piece of Christian Armour would interfere with the Shield of Faith, which comprehends the Righteousness of Justification. [See Shield.] It is (we say) a Principle of new Life, which the Spirit works in the Heart of a Believer; hence the several Graces of Holiness are called the Fruits of the Spirit, Gal. 5.22. Man by the Fall had a double Loss; first, the Love of God; secondly, the Image or Likeness of God: Christ restores both to his Children; the first, by his Righteousness imputed; the second, by his Spirit imparting the lost Image of God to them, which consists in Righteousness and true Holiness. Who but a Man can impart his own Nature, and beget a Child like himself? So who but the Spirit of God can make a Creature like God, by causing him to partake of the Divine Nature?
