The act of justification is nothing other than a public declaration by the judge of the clearance of a person against whom charges had been preferred, so I understand the act of the justification of the Church was, when the Eternal Judge declared her cleared in, and through her Head and Husband, from all the demands of law, by His resurrection from the dead, without seeing corruption; or, in other words, when it was thus made manifest, that through the satisfaction rendered by Christ as the Substitute of His people, the Divine law was honored, and eternal justice now harmonized in the entire deliverance of His people from the demands of the law, and from sin.
