Rivetus and Sohn: certain fiducia that remission and life are granted to me in particular
Rivetus: sure fiducia — remission not only in general but mine; eternal justice and life for Christ’s merit.
Sohn (Heidelberg): chief part of justifying faith = apply the grace-promise to myself.
Not only others — I too have God propitious; rest and rejoice in God through Christ.
Latin
LVI. Similiter Rivetus, in fidei definitione quam supra attulimus, tribuit illi Certam fiduciam per quam unusquisque fidelis, in Deo acquiescens firmiter statuit, non solum in genere promissam esse credentibus remissionem peccatorum, sed sibi in particulari concessam, aeternamque justitiam, & ex ea vitam, ex Dei misericordia, propter unius Jesu Christi meritum donatam esse. Eodem modo Sohnus, saeculo superiori Theologiae Professor in Academia Heydelbergensi, fiduciam, quam habet pro parte potissima fidei justificantis, dicit esse Qua non tantum promissioni gratiae generaliter assentimur, sed etiam nobis quisque promissionem istam applicamus, certo statuentes eam ad nos quoque pertinere; id est, non tantum alios, sed nos quoque Deum habere propitium, juxta promissionem gratiae; ideoque in Christo, & per Christum in Deo prorsus acquiescimus & laetamur. Oper. Sohnii, t. 2. p. 789.
