712. 'For I have seen you to be a righteous man in this generation' means possessing good by which he could be regenerated. This has been stated and shown at verse 9 of the previous chapter. There 'righteous' means the good which belongs to charity, and 'upright' the truth which belongs to it. There they were 'generations' because things of the understanding were the subject, but here it is 'a generation' because those of the will are the subject. For the will embraces things of the understanding, but the understanding does not embrace those of the will.
