way I may come to the heauenly truth truth may leade mee to eternall life And because flesh and blood would turne thy Image to the image of Satā my foes are thy foes O Lord let not thine enemies preuaile against thee to take me from thee but let the assurance of my peace bee sealed in my conscience that I neuer be left comfortlesse Make thy Word vnto me like the Star which lead vnto thee make thy benefits and graces like the piller which brought vnto the land of promise Kindle thy loue so in my heart as in respect of thee and thy seruice I may despise and vtterly detest whatsoeuer is against thee and thy truth that I may alway find in my self assured testimonies of the presence of thy holy Spirit O sweete Sauiour confirme my faith which I feele oftentimes very weak and troubled with manie doubts encrease it in me O Lord that thorough thy holy Spirit I may bee assured that thou hast fully discharged the punishment of my sinnes Cause me O my God to feele in my soule and conscience that thou art mine and all that thou hast done that I am grafted into thy bodie and made one with thee therefore that I am fellow-heire with thee of euerlasting life Let me not only haue these words in my mouth but thorough thy Spirit let me feele the comfort of thē in my heart fully sealed and setled in me that I feeling my self inwardly before thy iudgment seate discharged my cōscience towards thee appeased may be swallowed vp with an vnfained loue toward thy heauenly Maiestie and towards my Brethren also for thy sake sweete Iesus Amen CHAP. V. Of the Formall Cause of Iustification The Formall cause of Iustificatiō Actiuely taken THe FORMAL cause of Iustification Actiuely taken is the gracious Imputation of Christs Righteousnes wherby the merits and obediēce of Christ are applied vnto vs by force of that neere Cōmunion of Christ with vs and ours with him 2 So that the Forme of Iustification doth altogether consist in Relation where in that Vnion which ariseth betweene both termes is indeede the forme and consisteth rather in emanation than in hesion 3 This Righteousnes is ours by Right of Donation and acceptation of Christs merits and obedience Note seeing imputed Righteousnes is of Grace not of Nature a Communicatiō of a benefit not real and habituall Possession Imputation not a patible Qualitie inherent in vs. Of Imputation 4 In this Imputation wee must consider two things 1. The Truth of it in it selfe 2. The Manner of the truth of it in vs. 5 Of the Truth of it in it selfe there are two termes 1. Righteousnesse 2. Imputation thereof Betweene these two consists a Relation for neither hath Christ his perfect Righteousnesse for any other end but to impute it neither doth hee impute anie thing but his Righteousnes neither is that Righteousnesse otherwise ours but by imputation 6 The Manner of the truth of it in vs in Scriptures is circumscribed by a two-fold reason The first teacheth vs that we are Righteous not in our selues or by our own righteousnes but by the Righteousnes of Christ which is made ours by Right of Donation 2. Cor. 5.21 We are made the righteousnes of God in him The second teacheth vs that we haue Righteousnes as Christ hath our Sins As Christ hath our Sinnes so we haue his Righteousnes 7 Christ hath our Sinnes not subiectiuely inherent in himselfe but by imputation so we haue Christs Righteousnesse not subiectiuely inherent in our selues but by imputation 8 Hereupon the Apostle maketh that Opposition 2. Cor. 5.21 between Christ whom God made Sinne for vs and vs who are made the Righteousnesse of God in him 9 According vnto this Forme the Iustification of all men is one and the same equall vnto all men for one man cannot bee more iustified than another Albeit in diuers mē according vnto the measure of the apprehension of their Faith the manner of it may well be said to be diuers The forme of Iustificatiō Passiuely taken 10 The Forme of Iustification Passiuely vnderstood in regarde of vs is the Application of Faith whereupon we are said to bee iustified through Faith of Faith and by Faith whereof we haue spoken in the Instrumentall Cause 11 After the Formall followeth the Finall cause of Iustification A THANKESGIVING for our Iustification intermixt with Confession and Prayer O Eternall GOD in Christ Iesus most gracious and mercifull I thy poore seruant doe yeeld most possible and harty thankes vnto thy diuine Maiestie for all thy blessings and mercies bestowed vpō me both spirituall and temporall especially for the singular benefit of my Iustificatiō and the admirable gift of eternall Saluation purchased by the righteousnesse and dearest life of thy beloued Son My lot is fallen in a pleasant place I am in honor and vnderstand it not Hath euery one found such fauour in thy sight or hast not thou passed ouer others and chosen me ô Lord why shouldest thou bestow thy health and wealth thy rest and liberty vpō me more then other I can giue no reason for it but that thou art mercifull And if thou shouldest draw all backe againe I haue nothing to say but that thou art iust Hath not thy Ioseph deserued libertie Hath not thy Dauid deserued rest Hath not thy Lazarus deserued food or hath not thy Iob deserued health more then I haue Iob is sicke Lazarus pines without Dauid is troubled on his bed Ioseph grones in the prison I haue their portion they do stand at reward Why art thou so wel my soul Mercy mercie Why art thou so ill my soule ô Mercie For notwithstanding all these gracious and excellent benefits yet haue I hitherto led my life so coldly in my profession wrought so contrarie vnto my vocation in neglecting despising thy sacred Commandemēts that I haue more then prouoked thee to extend thy furious wrath against mee to encounter recompence my leude desert with the sharpenes of thy reuenging furie But when I thinke vpon thy Son all my feare is turned into ioy because his righteousnes for me is more then my wickednes against my selfe O settle my faith in thy Beloued it sufficeth for all my iniquitie necessitie and infirmitie Hee hath tolde vs O Lord and we beleeue it to bee true that if wee aske thee any thing in his name thou wilt graunt it vnto vs now therfore in his name do I most earnestly craue at thy hands that thou wilt settle mee in a constant forme of obedience that I may euer serue thee from this houre with those duties which the world the flesh the diuel would haue mee deferre vntill the point of death Good Father grant that I may loue righteousnes and pietie with as great good will as euer I loued wickednes anvanity and that I may go before other in thākfulnes towards thee as farre as thou goest in mercy towards
