In what sence then are we said to be iustified by faith?
Not by any inward dignitie or merit of faith it selfe, not as it is a worke or new quality in vs, not by any force or efficacie of Iustifying taken from Charitie, nor because it hath charitie ad∣ioyned to it, or worketh by it; not because faith doth participate of the spirit of Christ, to the end the beleeuer may be made righteous, for that wee are commaunded to seeke righteous∣nesse not in our selues but in Christa 1.1; But wee are iustified by faith in regard it doth receiue and embrace the righteousnes that is offered in the Gospell. Rom. 1.16.17. The righteousnesse of Christ, is reueiled from faith to faith. For as to iustification, faith is a thing meerely passiue, bringing nothing of our owne to pro∣cure vs fauour with God, but receiuing that from Christ which is wanting in, and toe our selues.
