Last of all, seeing we cannot by any means shew forth worthy repentance, and pacify God his anger justly conceived against us (yea with the sway of sin prevailing in us, we rather exasperate his further wrath) it remaineth for us therefore, to take this sure course, even to lift up the eyes of our mind unto our Mediator Jesus Christ, and to beseech the Father to respect the righteousness and obedience of him alone; & not to call into accompt [account] the unrighteousness and disobedience either of our first parent, or of us our selves, but to impute the righteousness of Christ unto us, as though it were our own. And hereunto let the words of the Apostle by all means move and stir thee: As by the offence of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the [obedience] of one, the benefit abounded toward all men to the justification of life, &c.
For the reference, see Andrea Hyperius on our need for the imputation of Christ’s righteousness.
