How art thou righteous before God?

Only by faith in Christ Iesus: so that, although my conscience accuse me, that I haue grieuously trespassed against al the commandemēts of god, and haue nota kept one of them: and further am as yetb prone to all euill: yet notwithstanding (if Ic embrace these benefits of christ with a true confidence & persuasion of mind) the ful &d perfect satisfaction, righteousnes & holines of Christ without anye merit of mine, of the meeref mercy of God,g imputed andh giuen vnto me, & that so as if neither I had committed any sin, neither any corruptiō did stick vnto me: yea as I my selfe had perfectlyi accomplished that obedience, which Christ accomplished for me.j
