remission_n of_o sin_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v give_v free_o to_o we_o through_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o affirm_v to_o be_v justification_n though_o under_o another_o name_n we_o do_v also_o acknowledge_v that_o our_o nature_n must_v be_v sanctify_v and_o renew_v that_o so_o god_n may_v take_v pleasure_n in_o we_o when_o his_o image_n be_v again_o visible_a upon_o we_o and_o this_o we_o call_v sanctification_n which_o we_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o constant_a and_o inseparable_a effect_n of_o justification_n so_o that_o as_o to_o this_o we_o agree_v in_o the_o same_o doctrine_n only_o we_o differ_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o term_n in_o which_o we_o have_v the_o phrase_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n clear_o with_o we_o but_o there_o be_v two_o more_o material_a difference_n between_o we_o it_o be_v a_o tenet_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o the_o use_v of_o the_o sacrament_n if_o man_n do_v not_o put_v a_o bar_n to_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v only_o imperfect_a act_n of_o sorrow_n accompany_v they_o do_v so_o far_o complete_a those_o weak_a act_n as_o to_o justify_v we_o this_o we_o do_v utter_o deny_v as_o a_o doctrine_n that_o tend_v to_o enervate_v all_o religion_n and_o to_o make_v the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o solemn_a ●●ts_n of_o religion_n for_o quicken_a and_o exciting_a our_o piety_n and_o for_o convey_v grace_n to_o we_o upon_o our_o come_n devout_o to_o they_o become_v mean_n to_o flatten_a and_o deaden_a we_o as_o if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o charm_n which_o if_o they_o can_v be_v come_v at_o though_o with_o ever_o so_o slight_a a_o preparation_n will_v make_v up_o all_o defect_n the_o doctrine_n of_o sacramental_a justification_n be_v just_o to_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o most_o mischievous_a of_o all_o those_o practical_a error_n that_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n since_o therefore_o this_o be_v no_o where_o mention_v in_o all_o these_o large_a discourse_n that_o be_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n concern_v justification_n we_o have_v just_a reason_n to_o reject_v it_o since_o also_o the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v to_o make_v man_n rest_v content_v in_o low_a imperfect_a act_n when_o they_o can_v be_v so_o easy_o make_v up_o by_o a_o sacrament_n we_o have_v just_a reason_n to_o detest_v it_o as_o one_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o satan_n the_o tendency_n of_o it_o be_v to_o make_v those_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v give_v we_o as_o mean_n to_o raise_v and_o heighten_v our_o faith_n and_o repentance_n become_v engine_n to_o encourage_v sloth_n and_o impenitence_n there_o be_v another_o doctrine_n that_o be_v hold_v by_o many_o and_o be_v still_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n not_o only_o with_o approbation_n but_o favour_n that_o the_o inherent_a holiness_n of_o good_a man_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o perfect_a that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o it_o god_n be_v so_o bind_v to_o esteem_v they_o just_a and_o to_o justify_v they_o that_o he_o be_v unjust_a if_o he_o do_v not_o they_o think_v there_o be_v such_o a_o real_a condignity_n in_o it_o that_o it_o make_v men_n god_n adopt_a child_n whereas_o we_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n teach_v that_o god_n be_v indeed_o please_v with_o the_o inward_a reformation_n that_o he_o see_v in_o good_a man_n in_o who_o his_o grace_n dwell_v that_o he_o approve_v and_o accept_v of_o their_o sincerity_n but_o that_o with_o this_o there_o be_v still_o such_o a_o mixture_n and_o in_o this_o there_o be_v still_o so_o much_o imperfection_n that_o even_o upon_o this_o account_n if_o god_n do_v strait_o mark_v iniquity_n none_o can_v stand_v before_o he_o so_o that_o even_o his_o acceptance_n of_o this_o be_v a_o act_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n this_o doctrine_n be_v common_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o reformation_n and_o together_o with_o it_o they_o reckon_v that_o the_o chief_a of_o those_o work_n that_o do_v justify_v be_v either_o great_a or_o rich_a endowment_n or_o excessive_a devotion_n towards_o image_n saint_n and_o relic_n by_o all_o which_o christ_n be_v either_o forget_v quite_o or_o remember_v only_o for_o form-sake_n esteem_v perhaps_o as_o the_o chief_a of_o saint_n not_o to_o mention_v the_o impious_a comparison_n that_o be_v make_v between_o he_o and_o some_o saint_n and_o the_o preference_n that_o be_v give_v to_o they_o beyond_o he_o in_o opposition_n to_o all_o this_o the_o reformer_n begin_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v at_o the_o lay_n down_o this_o as_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o christianity_n and_o of_o all_o our_o hope_n that_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n mere_o through_o his_o mercy_n by_o the_o redemption_n purchase_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o a_o firm_a believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o a_o claim_n to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o great_a propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o term_n on_o which_o it_o be_v offer_v we_o in_o the_o gospel_n be_v that_o which_o unite_v we_o to_o christ_n that_o give_v we_o a_o interest_n in_o his_o death_n and_o thereby_o justify_v we_o if_o in_o the_o management_n of_o this_o controversy_n there_o be_v not_o so_o critical_a a_o judgement_n make_v of_o the_o scope_n and_o several_a passage_n of_o st._n paul_n epistle_n and_o if_o the_o dispute_n become_v afterward_o too_o abstract_v and_o metaphysical_a that_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o infelicity_n of_o that_o time_n and_o be_v the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o much_o dispute_v therefore_o though_o we_o do_v not_o now_o stand_v to_o all_o the_o argument_n and_o to_o all_o the_o citation_n and_o illustration_n use_v by_o they_o and_o though_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o many_o of_o the_o writer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n come_v insensible_o off_o from_o the_o most_o practical_a error_n that_o have_v be_v former_o much_o teach_v and_o more_o practise_v among_o they_o and_o that_o this_o matter_n be_v so_o state_v by_o many_o of_o they_o that_o as_o to_o the_o main_a of_o it_o we_o have_v no_o just_a exception_n to_o it_o yet_o after_o all_o this_o beginning_n of_o the_o reformation_n be_v a_o great_a blessing_n to_o the_o world_n and_o have_v prove_v so_o even_o to_o the_o church_n

they_o to_o consider_v the_o inward_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o therefore_o the_o approbation_n give_v here_o to_o the_o homily_n be_v only_a a_o approbation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n assert_v and_o prove_v in_o it_o which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v carry_v to_o every_o particular_a of_o the_o proof_n or_o
