“He is one whom God makes righteous, by reckoning him so. 2. He is one that God makes righteous, by possessing of him with a principle of righteousness. 3. He is one that is practically righteous.” (Volume 1, Page 747)
“By desire a righteous man shows more of his mind for God, than he can by any manner of way besides;” (Volume 1, Page 762)
“so is the state of a man’s heart known by his desires” (Volume 1, Page 743)
