THE EIGHTEENTH ARTICLE.

We beleeue that all our righteousnesse is grounded vpon the remission of our sinnes, as also our whole felicitie, as Dauid saith. Therefore we reiect all other meanes to iustifie vs before God, and without presu∣ming of any merits or vertues, we simply and wholly depend vpon the obedience of Iesus Christ, which is allowed vnto vs, as well to couer all our faults, as to make vs find grace and fauour before God. And to conclude, we beleeue, that declining (how little soeuer it be) from this foundation, we can find no rest nor comfort elsewhere, but rather are continually disquie∣ted in mind, because we are neuer at peace with God, vntill such time as that we are fully resolued that we are beloued in Iesus Christ, for that otherwise of our selues we are worthy to be hated.
