Objection.

But you will say, If so be that every believer be made perfectly righteous by the righteousness of Jesus Christ, then how comes it to pass that belie∣vers cannot be Mediators for others, and make o∣thers righteous, for if so be, we have the very righ∣teousness of Christ upon us, or we cannot be sa∣ved, then as the righteousness of Christ makes o∣thers righteous, why may not the righteousness of godly Parents make their Children to become righteous by their righteousness, it being the righteousness of Christ, why should it not be im∣puted to their very Children? What is the reason that believers being made righteous by the very righteousness of Christ, that they should not also by that righteousness, make others righteous.
