(347) "Fla'. I 06, 3 I. For it is our im- putation to righteoufnefs, by which the obedience which Chrift performed for us,is taken as ours, and thereby we unjuft and finners are abfolved from the revengeof an angry God ; there faith alone embracing that obedience, is imputed to righteoufnefs. And it is another imputation of righteoufnefs, when the works of piety, that, come from our felves, justified by faith, and regenerate by the Holy Ghoft, though impede& and defervedly to be blamed and reje6ted, are yet takenof God by grace through Chrift, as good , holy and juit , and thence we are abfolved from the charge of wickednefs and guile, and, comparedwith the wicked and profane, are juftifi- ed as honeft. Here even works are 'imputed to righteoufnefs. Hence arife thefe differences ; That faiths imputation is to perfect righteoufnefs, fuch as is the obedience of Chrift ; The, imputation of works to imper-, fed, fuch as are works them- felves in this life. In one the ri. gor of the Law is fatisfied ; In the other the Law being made the instrument of grace doth condefcend and accommodate it felf to us, that imputation is the caufe of the Remiffion of fins : This not fo, as having no Y y 2, place entiam iMputatur in luflition.
