Question 61

THE SECOND PART, OF MANS DELIVERIE

  1. Why affirmest thou, that thou art made righteous by faith only?

    Not for that I please god through the worthines of meere faith: but because onely the satisfaction, righteousnes and holinesse of Christ is my righteousnesse before God: and I ; cannot take hold of it or apply it vnto my self anie other way than by faith.
