Baxt. It is the Righteousness of God, viz. That Righteousness he hath chose, and will accept of, instead of a perfect Righteousness to the Law of Works.
Godly. You err exceedingly, and are ignorant of the Righteousness of God, and go about to establish your own Righteousness as the Jews did, Rom. 10.3. 'Tis Christ's Righteousness, or his perfect Obedience only, that justifies a believing Sinner, exclusively of all his own inherent Righteousness, Rom. 4.5, 6. Rom. 3.27. And 1. 'Tis called the Righteousness of God, because Christ is God. 2. As well as that Righteousness that answers the rectitude of God's holy Nature and holy Law. And 3. Also because God only found it out and will accept of no other Righteousness to justify a Sinner, but this only.
