Sanctification declareth Justification:1 in which respect Saint James saith, that we are justified by works: that is, declared so to be. As by virtue of our Justification we are presented blameless before God: so by virtue of our Sanctification we are declared to be righteous before men.
Sanctification declareth Iustification:1 in which respect Saint Iames saith, that we are iustified by workes: that is, declared so to be. As by vertue of our Iustification wee are presented blamelesse before God: so by vertue of our Sanctification wee are declared to be righteous before men.
As the cause therefore goeth before the effect, and as the effect followeth the cause, so are Justification and Sanctification in their order one to another.
