Institutes 3.11.5 — OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH. BOTH THE NAME AND THE REALITY DEFINED.

**OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH. BOTH THE NAME AND THE REALITY DEFINED.**

But as Osiander has introduced a kind of monstrosity termed essential righteousness , by which, although he designed not to abolish free righteousness, he involves it in darkness, and by that darkness deprives pious minds of a serious sense of divine grace French “Que les poures ames ne sauroyent comprendre en telle obscurité la grace de Christ;”—that poor souls cannot in such obscurity comprehend the grace of Christ. French, “C’est, que l’ame est de l’essence de Dieu;”—that is, that the soul is of the essence of God.
