Thirdly, the Papist erreth, which teacheth justification partly by remission of sins, and partly by that which we call §25inward sanctification: which is imperfect and mixed in this life with our corruption, and therefore unfit to absolve and acquit us before God.

It may be said, what must we do that we may be justified and saved by this Obedience of the Mediator? Answ. In the §30old Testament, when a man had sinned, he brought a sheep or an ox to the door of the Tabernacle, and when the Priest cut the throat of it, the party laid his hand upon the head of it. Exod. 29. 10. And hereby he signified, that the beast had done no hurt, and that he as a guilty malefactor had deserved §35death. Now all this was done in figure. And it teacheth us, that we miserable sinners must come to God; that we must bring our sacrifice with us, namely, the lamb of God, which is the son of God, made man, & made under the law: that we must present this lamb, and the oblation thereof to the father for ⟨p. 293⟩us, laying our hands on the head of it: that is, confessing our guiltiness, and that we have justly deserved death and perdition from the presence of God. In the last place, we must entreat the Lord to accept the blood of the lamb for us, and the whole obedience of the Mediator. Thus shall we be justified and saved. Thou wilt say, I will therefore do this, when I am dying.
