MarginaliaThe 4. braunch.4. The fourth braunch is, to teach and informe vs to whom these benefites of Christes Passion and victory do apperteine, and by what meanes þ^e same is applyed and redoundeth vnto vs: MarginaliaFayth onely þ^e meane cause of saluation & nothyng els.which meanes is onely one, that is, onely fayth in Christ Iesu, and no other thyng. Which fayth it pleaseth almyghty God to accept for righteousnes. And this righteousnes it is, which onely standeth before God and none other, as we are playnly taught by the Scriptures, and especially by the doctrine of S. Paul. Which righteousnes thus rising of fayth in Christ, S. Paul calleth þ^e righteousnes of God, where he writyng of hym selfe, vtterly refuseth the other righteousnes which is of the law, that hee might be found in hym, not hauyng his owne righteousnes, which is of the law, but the rightuousnes of Christ, which is of fayth. Phil. 3. MarginaliaPhil. 2.
The rightuousnes of the law.Againe, the sayd Apostle writyng of the Iewes, which sought for righteousnes and found it not: and also of the Gentles which sought not for it, and yet found it, sheweth the reason why: because (sayth he) the one sought it as by workes and the law, and came not to it, who not knowyng the righteousnesof God, and seeking to set vp their owne righteousnes, did not submit them selues to the righteousnes which is of God: Marginalia The rightuousnes of the Gospell.The other, which were the Gentles, and sought not for it, obteyned righteousnes, that righteousnes which is of fayth. &c. Rom. 9. MarginaliaRom. 9.Also in an other place S. Paul in þ^e same Epistle writyng of this righteousnes which commeth of faith, calleth it the righteousnes of God, in these wordes: Whom God (sayth he) hath set vp for a propiciation by fayth in his bloud, whereby to make manifest the righteousnes, which is of him selfe in toleratyng our sinnes. &c. Rom. 3. MarginaliaThe place of S. Paule. Rom. 3. expounded.
Rom. 3.By þ^e which righteousnes it is euident, that S. Paul meaneth the righteousnes of fayth, which almighty God now reueleth and maketh manifest by preachyng the Gospell. MarginaliaThe rightuousnes of faith, why it is called Gods rightuousnes.Wilt thou see yet more playnly this rightuousnes of God how it is takē in S. Paule, for the righteousnes of fayth, and therfore is called the righteousnes of God, because it is imputed onely of God to faith, and not deserued of man? In the same Epistle to the Romanes and in the 3. chapter aforesayd, his wordes be manifest: MarginaliaRom. 3.The righteousnes of God (sayth he) is by fayth of Iesus Christ, in all, and vppon all that do beleue. &c.

MarginaliaA lesson out of S. Paules doctrine, of all Christians to be obserued.Wherfore who soeuer studyeth to be accepted with God & to be foūd rightuous in his sight, let him learne diligently by the doctrine of S. Paule to make a difference and a separation, as farre as from heauen and earth, betwene these two, that is, betwen the righteousnes of workes, and righteousnes of fayth: and in any wise beware he bryng no other meanes for hys iustification, or remission of his sinnes, but onely fayth apprehendyng the body or person of Christ Iesus crucified. For as there is no way into the house but by the doore, so is there no cōmyng to God but by Christ alone, which is by fayth. And as the mortall body, w^tout bodely sustenaunce of bread & drinke can not but perish: so þ^e spirituall soule of man hath no other refreshyng, but onely by fayth in the body & bloud of Christ, whereby to bee saued. With this fayth the Idolatrous Gentles apprehended Iesus Christ, & receaued therby righteousnes.
