THAT Great Preacher of the Gosp•• and Insatiable Admirer of the Lord […] Christ, our Apostle Paul, in all […] Writings, but especially in the […] which he wrote unto the Romans, [which was […] Melanchthon well called, The Protestants Confession […] Faith,] as well as his Epistle to the Galatians, does abundantly maintain this Article of our Faith, That a man is not Justified by the works of the Law, but by the Faith of Jesus Christ. Justifying Faith is a Receiving of, and a Relying on, the Gift of Righteousness from God, by our Lord Jesus Christ; or, the Consent of a Distressed Soul▪ to be Justified, by Gods Graciously Imputing unto him, the Obedience which the Lord Jesus Christ, as our Surety, yielded unto God, on the behalf […] His Elect. This Faith doth Justify a Sinner, […] as it is a Work; but Organically & Relatively; Inasmuch as it is the Instrument, by which a man apprehends the Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, as freely Tendered unto the Sinner in the ⟨p. 4⟩Gospel; Tis only in this Regard, that Faith, & no Grace, but this Faith, ha's the Honour to Justify us. This is the Good old way, of arriving unto Rest; and, Aliter qui Vadit, cadit.
