6. Against Justification.

1. That this is a blinde doctrine which preaches, that righteousnesse which justifies is not in them. 2. He that hath a covering for his sins, no nearer then above the Stars, will one day be found naked. 3. The obedience of Christ, and of the Creatures, is not two Obediences but one. 4. That Christ bought us not with the price of his blood, that was shed upon the Crosse at Jerusalem onely] These tenets, 1. how derogatory are they to Christ? 2. how comfort∣lesse to sinners? 3. how crosse to the designe of God, to exclude boasting? 4. yea how pernici∣ous to Souls? first, in tempting them to the re∣jecting the righteousnesse of God, of Faith, of Christ, and secondly, seeing after a righteousnesse of their own, which they shall never attain unto. 5. How neer of kin to those positions of the Pa∣pists de justificatione? but either we must stop our eares to such doctrine, or refuse to open them to plain Scripture.
