We are not said to be justified ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ง๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฎ (on account of faith) but ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ง๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฎ (through faith).
—Puritan Thomas Manton, Works 13:478Faith is said to justify, because without it we cannot apprehend the righteousness of Christ; as the hand may be said to feed and nourish the body, but the nutritive virtue is not in the hand, but in the meat.
—Puritan Thomas Manton, Works 13:477
