( 200 our Righteoufnefs : Tuflification in confcience is not fo , but a knowledge or fenfe of it : therefore they are not the fame. Argument 21. From gat. 2. 16. andzr. compared. The 'uni- fication which Paul treats of and is by Faith, is the comingof righteoufhefs by Chrift; as oppofite to the coming of righteouf. nefs by the Law, (to the perfon fo juflified) : But fo is not 'nth- fication inconfcience theiefore,,&c., e/frgument 22. FromGal. 3. 3, 9. All that have the blefling Promifed to Abraham, and the faithful withhim, are juftified in Paul's fenfe, andby Faith. All that have that blefiing are not "unified in foro Conrcientia : therefore they are feparable, and oft separated, and not the fame.

But the Scripture bath concluded all under fin that the ` Promife by Faithof lefits Chrin might be given to them that believe. From thefe words I may raife divers Arguments One is from the Infirument, and foundation of the Relation , the Law; the PrornifeJuilification in 'Pauly fenfe,and by Faith,isfuch asthe Promife cloth give,and the Lawwould have given,if it could have given Life. Iuftification infore Confcientia is not this, but a confequent of it : therefore For theMajor,tbat the Text fpeaks of Juftification, is evident in thofe words, RighteoufnefS fhould have been by the Law. For the Minor,it is confeffed by the moil learned ofmine Antagoniils, whofe main plea is, that uilification is only the Sentence of the judge,, and not of the Law or Promife.
