Well, then, the point from both these linked together is this : — That by faith we are justified ; or, Jesus Christ justifieth poor sinners by their faith. The prophet meaneth faith, though he saith knowledge. For scriptures to prove the point, take these, that are full to the purpose : — Rom. iii. 28, 'Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith.' The apostle had been labouring throughout all the three chapters to bring the discourse to that issue ; and at length there was the result of all, that we must be justified by faith. So Rom. v. 1, 'Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.'
