1. God the Father and God the Son are two, both from eternity. 2. God the Son came into the world by the will of the Father, to make satisfaction for mankind, who otherwise would have perished in eternal death in satisfaction of Divine justice, which is also called avenging justice. 3. The Son made satisfaction by fulfilling the law, and by the passion of the cross. 4. The Father was moved to mercy by these deeds of the Son. 5. The Son's merit is imputed to those who believe this. 6. This imputation is instantaneous; and therefore it may take place, if not before, even at the very hour of death. 7. There is some temptation, and then deliverance through that faith. 8. These especially have trust and confidence. 9. These especially have justification, the plenary grace of the Father for the sake of the Son, the remission of all sins, and thus salvation. 10. The more learned affirm that there is with such persons an effort towards good which operates secretly, and does not manifestly move the will; others affirm a manifest operation; while both affirm it is by the Holy Ghost. 11. Of those who confirm themselves in the idea that no one of himself can do good which is good and not merit-seeking, and that they are not under the yoke of the Law, the majority omit the practice of good and give no thought to evil and good of life. For they say within themselves that no good work saves, and no evil condemns, because faith alone does everything. 12. In general, they affirm that the understanding is under obedience to this faith, and call that which is not understood a matter of faith.
