EXPLICATION.
Here you may see 1. That pardon of sin, and this Justification in Law, are not punctually and precisely alone: 2. And yet the difference is very small. The chief difference lieth in this, That the Terminus a quo of Remission, is the obligation to punishment; but the Terminus of Justification, (or the evil that it formally and directly doth free us from,) is the Laws Accusation and Condemnation: Now though the difference between these two be very narrow, and rather respective then real, yet a plain difference there is: For though it be one and the same Commination of the Law, by which men are both obliged to punishment, accused as guilty, and condemned for that guilt, yet these are not all one, though it is also true, that they all stand or fall together.
