How art thou righteous before God?

Only by Faith in Christ Jesus. So that although my Concience accuse me that I have grievously trespassed against all the Commandments of God, and have nota kept one of them, and further am as yetb prone to all Evil; yet notwithstanding ifc I embrace these Benefits of Christ with a true Confidence and Perswasion of mind, the full andd perfect Satisfaction, Righteousness and Holiness of Christ, without anye Merit of Mine, of thef meer Mercyg of God ish imputed and given unto me, and that so, as if neither I had committed any Sin, neither any Corruption did stick unto me; yea as if I myi self had perfectly accomplished that Obedience which Christ accomplished for me.
