of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o everlasting_a salvation_n 51_o also_o they_o confer_v grace_n as_o the_o king_n letter_n be_v say_v to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o a_o

be_v a_o thousand_o pound_n because_o it_o be_v unto_o he_o a_o pledge_n upon_o the_o king_n word_n of_o the_o receipt_n of_o so_o much_o 54_o last_o the_o word_n of_o god_n confer_v grace_n for_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n to_o they_o that_o believe_v which_o it_o do_v by_o signify_v the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o the_o ear_n to_o the_o mind_n now_o every_o sacrament_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n make_v visible_a to_o the_o eye_n the_o sacrament_n therefore_o confer_v grace_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o signification_n and_o by_o reason_n they_o be_v a_o pledge_n by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n 55_o if_o it_o be_v say_v object_n object_n the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o only_o sign_n and_o seal_n but_o also_o instrument_n to_o convey_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o us._n 56_o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr ans_fw-fr the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o instrument_n have_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n tie_v unto_o they_o or_o shut_v up_o in_o they_o but_o instrument_n to_o which_o grace_n be_v present_a by_o assistance_n in_o the_o right_a use_n thereof_o 57_o because_o in_o and_o with_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n god_n confer_v grace_n and_o thus_o they_o be_v instrument_n &_o no_o otherwise_o that_o be_v moral_a not_o physical_a instrument_n 58_o the_o administeriall_a cause_n of_o justification_n

paul_n coloss_n 2.13_o god_n pardon_v all_o our_o trespass_n see_v esa_n 44.22_o esa_n 43.25_o psal_n 103.12_o micah_n 7.19_o apoc._n 1.5_o esa_n 1.18_o 16_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v question_n question_n whether_o justification_n be_v absolute_o perfect_a and_o finish_v in_o this_o life_n 17_o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr ans_fw-fr there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o benefit_n which_o we_o receive_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n one_o of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o inherent_a in_o we_o as_o election_n and_o justification_n the_o other_o of_o such_o as_o do_v inhere_o as_o vocation_n glorification_n 18_o both_o these_o kind_n of_o benefit_n have_v this_o common_a that_o before_o the_o full_a manifestation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o can_v be_v full_o and_o perfect_o declare_v i_o mean_v neither_o election_n nor_o justification_n nor_o vocation_n nor_o glorification_n 19_o all_o these_o benefit_n begin_v to_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o first_o manifestation_n and_o appearance_n of_o christ_n rom._n 3.21_o now_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n make_v manifest_a but_o be_v not_o full_o declare_v in_o this_o life_n as_o john_n say_v 1._o joh._n 3.2_o now_o be_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v 20_o but_o they_o differ_v herein_o that_o those_o benefit_n which_o be_v not_o inherent_a be_v indeed_o perfect_v and_o real_o absolve_v in_o this_o life_n 1._o joh._n 3.2_o now_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o also_o now_o we_o be_v elect_v now_o we_o be_v justify_v 21_o those_o benefit_n which_o be_v inherent_a in_o we_o be_v not_o perfect_v in_o all_o their_o degree_n but_o only_o inchoat_v or_o begin_v in_o this_o life_n 22_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o justification_n be_v indeed_o perfect_v &_o absolve_v in_o this_o life_n but_o not_o plain_o manifest_v and_o declare_v 23_o question_n may_v be_v make_v quest_n quest_n whether_o christ_n will_v not_o justify_v such_o as_o believe_v here_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o shall_v not_o justification_n be_v perfect_a then_o at_o length_n in_o that_o other_o life_n 24._o i_o answer_v ans_fw-fr ans_fw-fr in_o that_o day_n of_o judgement_n christ_n will_v not_o so_o much_o justify_v the_o believer_n as_o declare_v by_o their_o work_n that_o they_o believe_v and_o be_v justify_v even_o in_o this_o life_n 25_o for_o so_o also_o the_o word_n justification_n may_v be_v take_v and_o so_o james_n use_v it_o where_o he_o say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o work_n jac._n 2.21_o he_o be_v justify_v that_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v justify_v again_o quest_n quest_n again_o it_o be_v demand_v see_v we_o daily_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o be_v justification_n how_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o that_o justification_n be_v a_o undividable_a act_n perfect_v even_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n in_o this_o life_n 27_o i_o answer_v when_o we_o pray_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n we_o pray_v not_o as_o for_o a_o benefit_n not_o yet_o give_v we_o but_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o increase_n of_o our_o confidence_n and_o application_n of_o the_o benefit_n by_o faith_n and_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o our_o faith_n 28_o last_o it_o be_v object_v if_o justification_n be_v the_o sentence_n of_o life_n and_o if_o that_o life_n can_v be_v perfect_v until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n then_o certain_o justification_n can_v be_v perfect_v until_o the_o last_o come_n of_o christ_n 29_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o perfect_v the_o sentence_n of_o life_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o perfect_a life_n itself_o 30_o the_o sentence_n of_o life_n be_v perfect_v in_o this_o life_n but_o life_n itself_o be_v not_o perfect_v until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n 31_o iii_o everlasting_a iii_o justification_n be_v everlasting_a justification_n be_v everlasting_a in_o as_o much_o as_o sin_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v unto_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v any_o more_o for_o ever_o 32_o for_o who_o god_n have_v once_o receive_v into_o favour_n have_v blot_v out_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o offence_n those_o do_v he_o still_o preserve_v in_o his_o favour_n as_o righteous_a 33_o so_o that_o such_o can_v utterlie_o fall_v from_o grace_n and_o perish_v by_o no_o manner_n of_o sin_n they_o be_v and_o remain_v pardon_v in_o they_o for_o god_n will_v never_o remember_v those_o sin_n to_o which_o the_o regenerate_v be_v as_o yet_o subject_a 34_o this_o the_o scripture_n express_o and_o diligent_o affirm_v in_o many_o place_n esa_n 43.12_o i_o will_v remember_v thy_o iniquity_n no_o more_o jerem._n 31.34_o i_o will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o their_o iniquity_n and_o remember_v their_o sin_n and_o transgression_n no_o more_o see_v hebr._n 8.12_o 35_o these_o and_o such_o like_a place_n of_o scripture_n promise_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n not_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o only_a but_o signify_v and_o affirm_v that_o it_o shall_v always_o be_v of_o force_n and_o continue_v while_o life_n last_v so_o that_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v quotidian_n and_o continual_a all_o our_o life_n long_o 36_o because_o christ_n have_v make_v a_o full_a and_o sufficient_a satisfaction_n for_o they_o once_o for_o all_o heb._n 10.14_o and_o god_n be_v so_o just_a that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v payment_n and_o satisfaction_n for_o one_o thing_n twice_o but_o be_v so_o well_o please_v with_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o require_v no_o other_o satisfaction_n 37_o neither_o must_v we_o imagine_v that_o therefore_o god_n be_v not_o displease_v with_o sin_n in_o the_o regenerate_v for_o the_o sin_n even_o of_o his_o own_o dear_a child_n do_v high_o displease_v he_o albeit_o he_o will_v not_o punish_v they_o in_o his_o saint_n because_o he_o have_v punish_v they_o in_o christ_n 38_o for_o god_n do_v not_o so_o remit_v sin_n as_o if_o he_o account_v sin_n no_o sin_n or_o be_v not_o angry_a at_o it_o but_o because_o he_o do_v not_o impute_v they_o unto_o we_o nor_o punish_v they_o in_o we_o but_o account_v we_o holy_a and_o righteous_a for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n apprehend_v by_o faith_n 39_o hitherto_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o property_n of_o justification_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o effect_n thereof_o a_o prayer_n for_o
