Again, it is alleged, that the blood of Christ taketh away all sin, 1. Joh. 1. 7. and when all sin is taken away, the law is fulfilled, §20and the person justified. Ans. When S. John saith, the blood of Christ purgeth us from all sin, he excludes the blood of beasts, and all meritorious means of salvation in man, out of Christ, & he excludes not the obedience which the Mediator yielded to the father in all his sufferings. Again, it is not true that a sinner §25is justified, when all sin is abolished, unless justice be added. For justification is an alteration of a sinner from one contrary to another, from evil to good, from life to death: and therefore sin must depart, and justice come in the room thereof. That a dark house may be enlightened, darkness must §30first be abolished, and light must come in the stead thereof. And that a man may be justified, sin must be covered, and righteousness imputed.
Againe, it is alleadged, that the blood of Christ taketh away all sinne, 1. Ioh. 1. 7. and when all sinne is taken away, the law is fulfilled, §20and the person iustified. Ans. When S. Iohn saith, the blood of Christ purgeth vs from all sin, he excludes the blood of beasts, and all meritorious means of saluation in man, out of Christ, & he excludes not the obedience which the Mediatour yeelded to the father in all his sufferings. Againe, it is not true that a sinner §25is iustified, when all sinne is abolished, vnlesse iustice be added. For iustification is an alteration of a sinner from one cō trarie to another, from euill to good, from life to death: and therefore sinne must depart, and iustice come in the roome thereof. That a darke house may be inlightned, darkenes must §30first be abolished, and light must come in the stead thereof. And that a man may be iustified, sinne must be couered, and righteousnesse imputed.
