Doctrine, and very full of comfort, as is more largely express'd in the homily of Justification. The first part of the Homily of Salvation.
Because all Men be Sinners, and therefore can no Man by his own Acts, Words, and Deeds, (seem they never so good) be justified, and made righteous before God: but every Man is con∣strained to seek for another Righteousness or Justi∣fication, to be received at Gods own Hands, that is to say, the forgiveness of his Sins: And this Justification, or Righteousness [the forgiveness of our Sins] which we so receive of Gods Mercy, and Christs Merits embraced by Faith, is taken, accepted, and allowed of God for our perfect and full Justification.
Faith doth not shut out Repentance, Hope, Love, Dread, and the Fear of God, to be joyned with Faith in every Man that is justified, but it shutteth them out from the office of justifying [that is me∣ritously as the Homily shews.]
The third part of the Homily of Salvation.
The meaning of this Proposition, or saying, We be justified by Faith in Christ only, (according to the meaning of the old ancient Authors) is this, we put our Faith in Christ, that we be justified by Him only that we be justified by Gods free Mercy, and the Merits of our Saviour Christ only, and by no vertue or good Works of our own.
