whom he justifies its relative Language should be I justifie thee I pardon or absolve thee for the same Gift may have two Uses as a Ring in Marriage it enriches and it marries the one by its own Inherent value the other by constitution so Faith sanctifies by its own inherent vertue and justifies by impuration 3. It shews us what influence the Holy Ghost has in our justification all the three Person concur in all transient and external Acts and in particular this act is ascrib'd to the Spirit 1 Cor. 6.11 But ye are wash'd but you are sanctifi'd but you are justifi'd in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God There 's no more reason for derogating justification from the Spirit of God then from derogating sanctification from the Name of the Lord Jesus The verse contains two Blessings Sanctification and Justification two Authors of them the Lord Jesus and the Spirit two ways of Application of their vertue the Merit of the one and the Spiritual Efficiency of the other in name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of God Some think the Spirits Efficiency in Justification is to give the comfort and the knowledge of it but that 's no causality that may come forty years after the effect but this gives an easie solution to the Text the Spirit of God works Faith which entitles to Christ's Righteousness therefore we are justifi'd by the Spirit and may be is called the Spirit of Adoption upon the same account for the Spirit of Faith and Spirit of Prayer are one and the Spirit of Adoption Rom. 8.15 is that whereby we call Abba Father so he may be also call'd the Spirit of Justification by his working justifying faith and this seems to be pointed at 1 Tim. 1.14 The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love There are two Blessings mention'd and both Preventive exceeding grace with faith and love It is not said and Faith and Love to import barely the contemporariness of the Gift of Pardon and Faith but the way of conveyance thus God gave me Faith and Love when I was a Blasphemer and a Persecutor and with Faith or thorough Faith I obtain'd mercy the Grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant in this blessing in giving faith and a pardon thorough faith 4. Christ's justification is a pattern of ours Rom. 4.24 He rose again for our justification 1 Tim. 3.16 He was justifi'd in the Spirit the work of the Spirit in raising him from the Dead was a justifying act upon him in the World he was condemn'd as a meer man and thereby a deceiver saying he was God but Rom. 1.3 He was declar'd to be the Son of God with power by the spirit of holiness in his resurrection His state of Humiliation was status reorum he was in the condition of a guilty man in prisonand judgment Isa 53. He was condemn'd that he might condemn sin in the flesh and that there might be no condemnation to them that are in him he could not be punish'd under God's Government without sin inherent or imputed Isa 50.8 He is near that justifieth me he justified him in his raising him from the dead and setting him at his right hand so condemn'd him in humbling him at the resurrection his justification and vivification was one and the same thing in different relations 1 Pet. 3.18 He was put to death in the flesh but quicken'd by the Spirit when the Spirit quicken'd him he justified him his death was consequently a condemnation not only by man but God as by his determinate counsel under his Government Sydenham and Brinsley say in his resurrection as Attorney he took up the bond of the old Covenant in Court for his Clients John 16. The spirit now in the Gospel bears witness to his righteousness as our Head and Surety because he goes to his Father i. e. witnesses he was justified as our Surety and therefore his resurrection is our acquittance or solution he had never gone to Heaven else 5. No punishment can be justly removed before the Person be justifi'd or absolv'd the removal of our Spiritual Death by the gift of his Spirit is a removal of our greatest punishment therefore it carries absolution in its bosome and by it we may easily answer the Papists who argue our justification and sanctification to be one because the Scripture mentions a relation certainly above a bare connexion of time Rom. 8.1 2. in v. 1. a connexion but in v. 2. some causality This place says Stapleton Ant. p. 625. is a torment to Beza and Calvin but Calvin's Comment frees himself for though he yields inherent holiness to be the sense of the 2d v. the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or for the influence it has on no condemnation in the v. 1. is thus Non assignari caasam à paulo sed modum quo so●vimur à reatu Sanctification contains a way of our being freed from guilt as well as filth of sin I argue against the Papists thus there could be no Argument to prove the one from the other if both were one 2ly This interprets the relation such texts as this and more evidently Tit. 3. 1 Cor. 6. implys between these two twins viz. the same grace sanctifies as a principle of efficiency in the Believer and justifies as a foundation of relation it raises between the Believer and God now let the Papists find one Scripture to torment a Protestant Interpreter with this key in his hand or any advantage to their side who say justification is justification is the ornamental or enriching value of the Ring its marriage vertue or the relation between man and wife 6. The being put in Covenant is also a relative blessing and we are brought thereinto by God's pouring out his spirit on us This is my covenant Heb. 8. There is a very obvious objection against this viz. The Scripture commonly attributes Justification and Pardon to the exercise of Faith Abraham believ'd in God and 't was counted to him for righteousness but this Doctrine about it lays the stress of its justifying vertue on the gift of it and the same objection may be otherways propos'd the Scripture lays the justifying vertue of faith on the object of it it is not a miraculous faith believing I shall be cur'd nor an Historical Faith believing the truth of a particular relation in the Scripture but a Believing on him that justifies the ungodly for justification a believing on him that rais'd up Jesus our Lord from the dead thorough the belief of his being deliver'd for our offences and rais'd again for our justification And 3. The like objections may be rais'd against these Eph. 2.8 That we are sav'd by grace thorough faith and that not of our selves but as the gift of God For we are his Workmanship Tit. 3.5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he sav'd us by the washing of regeneration that being
