I. They which haue true repentance, haue also a liuely faith, are ingrafted in Christ, and iustified in him.

THe man that is contrite in heart, * 1.1 & loa∣theth his sinne from his heart, and repē∣teth him of his whole misledd life, * 1.2 sigh∣ing vnto God for remission of his sinnes, and hungring and thirsting for the true righteous∣nesse of Christ, wee doe beleeue, that as hee was by the holie spirite indued with this re∣pentance towards God: so also that hee is by the same spirite indued with a liuely faith in Christ, and euen from the beginning was pre∣ordained to be ioyned vnto Christ, as a mem∣ber to the head: & therefore in him to obtaine remission of his sinnes, and to be indued with his perfect righteousnesse, and so to bee repu∣ted truely righteous for Christ, into whome he is ingrafted, and to be absolued from all guilt: as the Apostle saith, * 1.3 There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ: and, Christ is made our righteousnesse.
