THESIS XLI.
That saying of our Divines [That Justification is perfected at first, and admits of no degrees] must be understood thus, That each of those Acts which we call Justification, are in their own kind perfect at once; and that our Righteousness is perfect and admits not of degrees. But yet as the former Acts, called Justification, do not fully, and in all respects, procure our freedom, so they may be said to be imperfect, and but degrees toward our full and perfect Justification at the last Judgment.
THat saying of our Divines [That Iustification is perfected at first, and admits of no degrees] must be understood thus, That each of those Acts which we call Iustification, are in their own kind perfect at once; and that our Righteousness is perfect and admits not of degrees. But yet as the former Acts, called Iustification, do not fully, and in all respects, procure our freedom, so they may be said to be imperfect, and but degrees toward our full and perfect Iustification at the last Iudgment.
