A. Justification goeth before Sanctification. For the former of the two last Petitions concerning our spiritual good setteth out our Justification, the latter, our Sanctification. This precedence is to be applied rather to Order, then to Time. For at that very moment that Christ pardoneth sin, he conveyeth his Spirit into us whereby sin is mortified. S. Paul therefore where he setteth down these two together, setteth Righteousness before Sanctification.
