But we maymore diftinftly confider the ufe of this Word intheNewTeftament, as we have done that of ;Inyn in the Old. And that which we enquire concerning is, whether this word be ufed in the New Tefkament,ín a Foren(,ick fenfe to denote an A & of: jurifdietion, or in a Phyf7cal fenfe to ex- prefs an -internal change or mutation, the infu flon of an habit of Righteoufne1, and the denomination of the perfon to be Juftified thereon ; or whether it fignifieth not pardon of fin. But this we may lay afide ; For furely no man was ever yet fo fond, as to pretend that d`rx.bw did lignifie to pardon fin ; yet is it the only word apply'd to exprefs our Juftification in the New Teftament. For if it be taken only in the former fenfe, then that which is pleaded for by thole of the Roman Church, -under the name of Juftification, whate- ver it be, however good, ufeful and neeeffury, yet Juftifrcati on it is not, nor can be fo called ; feeing it is a thing quite of another nature than what alone is fignifled by that word.
