Psalms 32

Psalms 32:1

Blessed] Saint Paul, Rom. IV. 6, 7, 8. alledgeth this to prove justification by Faith, without Works. Faith and Works are inseparable, Ephes. II. 8, 9, 10. James II. 14, 17, 18, 20,—26. That Faith which is without Works is dead, no true Faith. But Faith onely acteth in the point of our justification before God, applying Christ and the Promises, beleeving according to the Covenant of the Gospel; whereby Christ doth become ours his righteousnesse our justification; and all the benefits of his redemption do redound and amount to our salvation.

Psalms 32:2

imputeth] Frequent is the use of this word in the point of justification.
