Question
Why affirmest thou that thou art made Righteous by Faith only?
Answer
Not for that I please God through the Worthiness of meer Faith, but because only the Satisfaction, Righteousness and Holiness of Christ is my Righteousness1 ⁠ before God, and2 ⁠ I cannot take hold of it, or apply it unto my self any other way than by Faith.
