Now of them that are said to be Saints there are three sorts Confitemur rogati profitemur vlirò such as confesse and professe Christian religion in word onely but in workes deny the power thereof Such as not only confesse and professe Christian religion in word but also in a ciuill honest life before men expresse the same Such as being chosen to true holinesse effectually called iustified regenerated and truly sanctified doe leade their liues in holinesse and righteousnesse Zanch. Miscellan lib. 3. cap. 1. tract de sanctis The first are saints neither before God nor the Church The second are saints before the Church but not before God the third are saints before God and the Church These are sanctified by a threefold sanctification 1. Imputed vnto thē 2. wrought in them 3. wrought by them Imputed sanctification is when God imputeth to vs the sanctification of Christ 1. Cor. 1.30 who is made to vs wisedome righteousnesse sanctification and redemption by this wee are said to be sanctified when the vertue of Christs passion the fruit of his death the power of his resurrection is applied to vs and Christs sanctification made ours by imputation Therfore the Apostle saith Heb. 13.12 that Iesus Christ to the end that hee might sanctifie his people with his owne blood suffered without the gate Sanctification wrought within vs is the inward change of a man iustified whereby the image of God is restored in him a change not a non esse ad esse from a not being to a being for the faculties of the soule were before nor ab esse ad non esse from a being to a not being for the faculties of the soule remaine still but ab esse ad esse from an ill being to a good being not abolishing the will mind and affections but rectifying and renuing them A change of a man iustified for we are iustified before we are sanctified Iustification is actus indiuiduus sanctification is actus diuiduus we are iustified at once we are sanctified by degrees we are iustified when our sins are not imputed vnto vs wee are sanctified when a cleane heart is created and a right spirit renued in vs. Lastly by this inward change the image of God consisting in righteousnes and true holinesse is restored within vs. Sanctification wrought by vs is that wherby wee sanctifie and make holy the outward works and actions of our life This the Lord requireth estote sancti quia ego sanctus Be yee holy Leuit. 11.14 for I the Lord your God am holy To this Saint Paul exhorteth Let vs cleanse our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh 2. Cor. 7. ● and of the spirit and grow vp to full holinesse in the feare of God Of this Saint Iohn speaketh speaking also of that hope which we haue of the glory to come he which hath this hope 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1. Iohn 3.3 sanctifieth or purifieth himselfe as hee is pure The righteousnesse of iustification is by faith without workes the righteousnesse of sanctification is by workes and by faith Iustifying righteousnes is perfect but not inherent sanctifying righteousnesse is imperfect but inherent Glorifying righteousnesse is perfect and inherent Neuerthelesse we must confesse that all our sanctification is from the Lord.
