of_o god_n and_o a_o sentence_n yet_o in_o power_n and_o force_n and_o to_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o law_n indeed_o of_o work_n be_v abrogated_a but_o it_o be_v in_o

of_o god_n that_o the_o sentence_n and_o execution_n be_v real_o the_o same_o and_o differ_v only_o in_o respect_n or_o at_o most_o in_o degree_n 7_o the_o active_a sanctification_n of_o this_o spirit_n take_v in_o itself_o either_o habitual_o or_o actual_o and_o as_o inherent_a in_o we_o can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v justification_n or_o any_o branch_n of_o justification_n as_o justification_n be_v a_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o god_n give_v this_o spirit_n to_o angel_n he_o give_v it_o to_o adam_n in_o the_o day_n of_o creation_n and_o this_o spirit_n do_v sanctify_v and_o now_o do_v sanctify_v the_o bless_a angel_n yet_o this_o sanctification_n be_v not_o re●mission_n but_o consider_v remission_n of_o sin_n as_o a_o removal_n of_o punishment_n as_o punishment_n whether_o of_o sense_n or_o loss_n deserve_v by_o sin_n and_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o blindness_n perverseness_n and_o slavery_n under_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n follow_v necessary_o upon_o the_o take_n away_o and_o deny_v the_o spirit_n by_o a_o just_a judgement_n as_o a_o penalty_n then_o this_o restore_n of_o the_o spirit_n must_v needs_o put_v on_o another_o notion_n as_o it_o have_v another_o nature_n this_o restore_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v so_o necessary_a that_o a_o bare_a sentence_n without_o it_o can_v give_v a_o man_n no_o comfort_n nay_o heaven_n without_o it_o be_v no_o heaven_n or_o place_n of_o bliss_n and_o abode_n but_o lest_o i_o may_v be_v think_v to_o agree_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n or_o at_o least_o come_v too_o near_o it_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o they_o say_v their_o doctrine_n sess._n 6._o cap._n 7._o be_v this_o that_o justification_n be_v not_o only_a remission_n of_o sin_n but_o also_o the_o sanctification_n and_o renovation_n of_o the_o inner-man_n by_o the_o susception_n of_o grace_n and_o gift_n whereby_o or_o whereupon_o a_o man_n of_o unjust_a be_v make_v just_a and_o of_o a_o enemy_n a_o friend_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o heir_n according_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o afterward_o the_o only_a formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n not_o whereby_o he_o be_v just_a but_o whereby_o he_o make_v we_o just_a they_o mean_v inherent_o just_a thus_o far_o they_o now_o let_v we_o examine_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o agreement_n between_o the_o former_a doctrine_n and_o this_o and_o 1_o i_o grant_v with_o all_o our_o divine_n that_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n go_v always_o inseparable_o together_o and_o this_o they_o of_o rome_n know_v well_o enough_o to_o have_v be_v always_o the_o constant_a doctrine_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n 2_o they_o say_v that_o justification_n be_v not_o only_a remission_n of_o sin_n but_o sanctification_n i_o say_v it_o be_v only_a remission_n 3_o they_o assert_v that_o this_o sanctification_n and_o renovation_n be_v by_o voluntary_a susception_n and_o so_o understand_v this_o sanctification_n passive_o as_o formal_o inherent_a i_o make_v neither_o sanctification_n active_a nor_o much_o less_o passive_a as_o consider_v in_o themselves_o to_o be_v justification_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o justification_n 4_o they_o make_v the_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n to_o be_v this_o sanctification_n i_o utter_o disclaim_v this_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o sanctification_n in_o itself_o be_v no_o remission_n and_o be_v in_o angel_n without_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o do_v affirm_v that_o this_o sanctification_n as_o they_o understand_v it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o that_o justification_n which_o the_o gospel_n speak_v of_o and_o that_o the_o restore_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n for_o renovation_n as_o a_o act_n of_o god_n as_o judge_n for_o to_o remove_v a_o punishment_n as_o a_o punishment_n and_o the_o obligation_n thereunto_o be_v proper_o remission_n and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o much_o wonder_n what_o these_o tridentine_a divine_n do_v understand_v by_o remission_n for_o if_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n be_v sanctification_n and_o inherent_a righteousness_n as_o they_o make_v it_o so_o to_o be_v i_o find_v no_o place_n nor_o need_v of_o any_o place_n for_o remission_n yet_o first_o they_o make_v it_o a_o part_n of_o justification_n distinct_a from_o sanctification_n it_o be_v neither_o final_a nor_o efficient_a nor_o meritorious_a nor_o material_a neither_o by_o their_o own_o word_n can_v it_o enter_v the_o formal_a that_o this_o sanctification_n consider_v in_o itself_o especial_o passive_a and_o inherent_a can_v be_v justification_n be_v evident_a for_o 1_o sanctification_n thus_o understand_v be_v not_o proper_o any_o act_n of_o god_n as_o a_o judge_n much_o less_o a_o sentence_n pass_v upon_o a_o guilty_a wretch_n 2_o that_o justification_n of_o believer_n in_o this_o life_n whereof_o the_o scripture_n speak_v do_v leave_v the_o party_n chargeable_a with_o no_o sin_n be_v perfect_a and_o bear_v out_o the_o severity_n of_o god_n justice_n before_o his_o throne_n this_o our_o inherent_a righteousness_n in_o this_o life_n can_v never_o do_v both_o because_o
