allege_v we_o say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o himself_o and_o saint_n peter_n know_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n but_o only_o 2._o by_o the_o faith_n

so_o long_o as_o justification_n the_o papist_n acknowledge_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o concur_v unto_o justification_n they_o can_v be_v say_v whole_o to_o take_v away_o the_o benefit_n of_o

justification_n seem_v to_o make_v justification_n to_o consist_v in_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o sanctification_n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o indeed_o the_o papist_n pretend_v so_o much_o for_o the_o council_n 7._o of_o trent_n in_o express_a term_n say_v that_o justification_n be_v not_o remission_n of_o sin_n alone_o but_o also_o sanctification_n and_o renovation_n of_o the_o inner_a man_n and_o to_o the_o like_a purpose_n bellarmine_n 6._o dispute_v that_o justification_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n alone_o but_o also_o in_o inward_a renovation_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a colourable_a pretence_n for_o as_o they_o exclude_v from_o justification_n the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n by_o which_o only_o we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n so_o they_o do_v indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n exclude_v remission_n itself_o and_o as_o in_o stead_n of_o imputation_n of_o righteousness_n they_o have_v bring_v in_o infusion_n of_o justice_n so_o in_o stead_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n they_o have_v bring_v in_o the_o utter_a expulsion_n extinction_n deletion_n of_o sin_n by_o infusion_n of_o righteousness_n and_o for_o this_o they_o have_v some_o show_n of_o reason_n for_o if_o they_o shall_v hold_v that_o justification_n consist_v partly_o in_o remission_n that_o be_v in_o the_o forgiveness_n or_o not_o imputation_n of_o sin_n and_o partly_o in_o renovation_n or_o sanctification_n then_o they_o must_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v two_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n which_o calvin_n 6._o object_v against_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o may_v true_o be_v object_v against_o such_o of_o the_o father_n as_o hold_v justification_n to_o consist_v partly_o in_o remission_n and_o partly_o in_o renovation_n and_o consequent_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o acknowledge_v two_o way_n of_o make_v man_n just_a by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o act_n of_o justification_n the_o one_o by_o imputation_n of_o that_o righteousness_n by_o which_o be_v without_o we_o we_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n the_o other_o by_o infusion_n of_o righteousness_n inherent_a by_o which_o sin_n be_v expel_v but_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n do_v steadfast_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o formal_a cause_n of_o justification_n and_o that_o be_v infusion_n of_o justice_n whereby_o sin_n be_v expel_v what_o then_o become_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o according_a both_o to_o scripture_n and_o father_n concur_v to_o justification_n i_o say_v of_o it_o as_o of_o justification_n the_o name_n be_v retain_v but_o the_o thing_n be_v take_v away_o §_o ii_o here_o therefore_o i_o be_o to_o show_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o papist_n sin_n from_o justification_n exclude_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o put_v into_o the_o room_n thereof_o the_o expulsion_n and_o extinction_n of_o sin_n which_o belong_v not_o to_o justification_n but_o to_o sanctification_n and_o consequent_o do_v whole_o abolish_v by_o their_o doctrine_n the_o benefit_n of_o justification_n second_o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o utter_a extinction_n

when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o work_n his_o meaning_n be_v without_o work_n go_v before_o justification_n but_o what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o
