The Reformed agree: God made man upright, in righteousness and true holiness (Eccl. 7:29; Eph. 4:24)
The Protestants, and especially those among them called the Reformed, likewise teach by common consent that God created man in true righteousness and holiness, as the Preacher says: "God made man upright." That uprightness can consist in nothing else than conformity with God's will and law, which is what man's righteousness consists in.
They think Paul has the same thing in view when he urges believers to "put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." He is plainly alluding there to the first creation, in which man is said to have been made in God's image and likeness. In Paul's mind that image includes the holiness and righteousness that Christ works in believers by his Spirit.
Latin
XXIV. Quod spectat autem Protestantes, & qui inter eos speciali nomine Reformati dicuntur, communi consensu illi quoque docent Deum creavisse hominem in Justitia & Sanctitate vera: juxta illud Ecclesiastae, Deus fecit hominem rectum. Nec enim rectitudo ista alia in re consistere potest, quam in conformitate cum voluntate & lege divina, in qua hominis justitia consistit. Quo etiam Paulum respicere putant, dum fideles hortatur, ut induant novum hominem, qui secundum Deum creatus est in justitia & sanctitate veritatis. Ubi manifestum est illum alludere ad primam creationem, in qua homo creatus dicitur ad Dei imaginem & similitudinem; ad quam ex ejus mente, pertinet sanctitas & justitia illa, quam Christus in fidelibus spiritu suo operatur.
