Notes

• Hunger & thirst after righteous∣nesse saith he, not inherent righteousnesse, but that righte∣ousnesse which consisteth in the forgiuenesse of sinnes. Idem ibid. Note. Iustificati∣on before God is no where in al the Scripture a∣scribed to any o∣ther vertuesaue only faith, the promise of salva∣tion is somtimes adioyned to o∣ther vertues, as fruits and marks of them whom God hath saued but never as causes thereof. S. Bernard spea∣keth of a righ∣teousnesse, that forgiueth sinnes, and that is not inherent righte∣ousnesse, I trow. This is the very forme of our righteousnesse, not to remem∣ber our offences. Ser. 1. de annun.
