WE have before confessed, that so soon as any one is ingrafted into Christ by his holy spirit, he presently obtaineth forgiveness of all his sins committed, and draweth a new life from his head Christ, and so is made a lively member of the church. But, because the most holy ones that are in this militant church do daily sin, even ⟨p. 251⟩to the last end of their lives, so that they have still need of new forgiveness of their sins, and also of new repentance, and new faith to apprehend forgiveness of sins in Christ: & that faith and repentance, is stirred up by the ministry of the word and sacraments: therefore we believe that remission of sins is dispensed and bestowed perpetually in the church, by the ministry of the word and sacraments, and that the ecclesiastical ministry which is perpetual in the church, is ordained thereunto.
