VII Of the Parts of Iustification The parts of Iustification two THe PARTS of IustificatioÌ„ are two Remission of Sinnes and Imputation of Righteousnes Note well 2 But wee must vnderstand that these two parts are not diuers and different motions but one really and in number which in respect of the diuersitie of the termes whereabouts it is imploied hath diuers names 3 In respect of the Term froÌ„ which it floweth it is called Remission of sin or Absolution from sinne or Not-Imputation of sinne 4 And in regard of the Terme vnto which it is applied it is called Imputation of Righteousnesse 5 For otherwise it is the very same motion whereby Sinne is abolished and Righteousnesse procured as appeareth out of the place Rom. 4.6.7 where the Apostle termeth the very same thing Imputation of Righteousnesse which Dauid called before Psal 32.1 Remission of Sinnes Euen as Dauid saith he declareth the blessednesse of man vnto whom God imputeth righteousnesse without workes saying Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiuen and whose sins are couered But wee will speake of both these parts of Iustification seuerallie and apart 1. Remission of sinnes 6 Remission of Sinnes is the AbsolutioÌ„ or pardoning of a Beleeuing man from the obligation of eternall death damnation for his sin 7 Or a not-imputing not-punishing or couering of the Beleeuers sinne and accounting him no sinner 8 In RemissioÌ„ of sin God taketh away three things 1. Sin it self while hee doth not impute it 2. The guilt of sin 3. The punishment due vnto it 9 The taking away of the two latter to wit of the Guilt and Punishment necessarilie followeth the taking away of the former namely Sinne. 10 But this part of Iustification is denominated of Sinne Remission of sinnes which properly is the terme from which proceedeth the motion and of which is first pronounced the sentence of absolution albeit the sentence bee pronounced also of the guilt and punishment but in the second place 11 The sentence of Remission of sinnes being once pronounced by God Note is neuer frustrated or recalled that is Those sinnes that are once remitted and forgiuen are neuer againe imputed Ezec. 18.21.22 Esa 44.22 Mich. 7.18.19 Ierem. 31.34 12 If it bee demaunded Question Whether by Remission of sinnes the sinne be so abolished that it remaineth no more in man Answere How sinne is abolished in Man 13 I Answere In Sin there are two things to bee considered the Defect and the Guilt 14 The Defect is not vtterly taken away or abolished out of the Subiect wherein it resideth but is daily diminished in the Regenerate by mortification of the old-man c. 15 For as long as we carry this masse and bodie about with vs all Defects cannot bee vtterly abolished seeing wee shall daily endure and feele the combate of the flesh and the spirit Galat. 5.17 16 But the Guilt is so abolished and vtterly extinguished in the godly as that God absolutely affirmeth that he will neuer remeÌ„ber our sins any more Esa 43.25 I euen I am hee that putteth away thine iniquities for mine owne sake and wil not remember thy sins 17 I will speak more Logically Note well Sinne is both in the Predicament of Qualitie as it is a Vitiositie And also in the Predicament of Relation as it obligeth vnto damnation 18 Remission of sins is not the deletion of the Vitiositie or peruerse quality as it is sin that is it is not the vtter abolishing and taking away of the Vitiositie that it remaineth not in the Beleeuer any more 19 But sinne is taken away abolished remitted not marked by God not seene cast behind his
