THESIS. LIV.
Remission, Justification and Reconciliation do but restore the offender into the same state of freedom and favour that he fell from; But Adoption and Marriage-Union with Christ do advance him far higher.

EXPLICATION.
The three former are all concomitant consequents of one and the same Act of God by his Gospel: The freedom from obligation to punishment is called Remission: the freedom from Accusation and Condemnation is called Justification; and the freedom from enmity and displeasure is called Reconciliation, which are all at once, & do all denote but our Restoration to our former state. Adoption and Marriage-Union do add the rest.
