P. IX. OF this also I have said so much in my Apology to Dr. Kendall, and in the two first parts of this Book before, that I shall now put you off with this short notice: 1. There is nothing changed, or new in God: That which on his part is in God the Cause of our Justification, is his eternal simple essence. 2. But Gods Essence, Understanding, or Will considered simply in it self is not to be called, Mans Justification: But the effect produced by it; And partly the extrinsic object as terminating Gods act, and so by extrinsic denomination or connotation, Gods Essential Intellect and Will is said, de novo to justify. But it is only man that is really changed. 3. The New effect in man from which God is said de novo to justify him, is 1. A new Right or Relation to Christ, pardon and life, and to the Father and the Holy Ghost: 2. A new objective termination of Gods estimation, acceptance and complacency: And 3. A new heart hereupon at the same instant given us. I think none of this is from eternity: And that as God did de novo make the world, and judge it existent, and love and order it as existent, without any change in him, (as also millions of creatures proceed from his simple Unity) so is it here. And this needeth no more words with knowing or teachable men: And to others there is no end.
