EXPLICATION.
I Have showed before, p. 57. 58. &c. That Christ intended not to remove all our misery as soon as he dyed, nor as soon as we believed. I am now to show, That he doth not justify by the shedding of his blood immediately, without somewhat of man intervening, to give him a legal title thereto. All the Scriptures alleged pag. 79. prove this: We are therefore said to be justified by faith. Let all the Antinomians show but one Scripture which speaks of Justification from eternity. I know God hath decreed to justify his people from eternity, and so he hath to sanctify them too, but both of them are done in time: Justification being no more an imminent act in God then Sanctification, as I shall show afterward.
