6. For hereby Sanctification is not understood the separation from a common use and consecration to some special use, in which sense the word is often taken in Scripture, sometime setting forth only the outward, sometime also that inward and effectual separation; for so it may be extended to calling or that first regeneration whereby Faith is communicated as a principle of new life: in which sense regeneration and Sanctification is wont to be confounded by most: but by it is understood that change of a man, whereby a believer hath righteousness and inherent holiness communicated to them. 2 Thess. 2. 13. Through Sanctification of the Spirit.
