[124] Dunlop's Confessions, ii. 58. There is hardly one of these expressions that may not be found in Calvin's Institutes:—
| It behoves us to apprehend Christ Jesus with His justice and satisfaction. | Confiteor nos justificari per fidem quâtenus per eam apprehendimus Jesum Christum. |
| We are set at this liberty that the curse and malediction of the law fall not upon us. | Omni execratione quae nobis incumbebat eximeremur dum in eum traduceret. Fides, in Christi damnatione absolutionem, benedictionem in maledictione, apprehendit. |
| God the Father, beholding us in the body of His Son Christ Jesus, accepts our imperfect obedience as it were perfect. | Ubi nos in filii sui communionem semel recepit, opera nostra grata acceptaque habet, non quod ita promereantur sed quia condonatâ eorum imperfectione, nil in illis intuetur, nisi quod a Spiritu suo profectum, purum ac sanctum est. |
| Covers our works, which are defiled with many spots, with the justice of His Son. | Nullae nostrae sordes aut immunditiae imperfectionis imputantur, sed illa puritate Christi ac perfectione velut sepultae conteguntur. Cujus perfectione tegatur nostra imperfectio. See also Calvin's Catechism in Dunlop's Confessions, ii. 175. |
