II. All true Believers are justified: Even all that consent to the Baptismal Covenant, and choose God to be their God, and Christ to be their Saviour, and the Holy Ghost to be their Sanctifier, and give up themselves to him by true resolution, as their only Ruler, Hope and Happiness; though this be done with so great weakness, as endeth not all doubts, nor quieteth the Mind.
To be justified is not to be accounted such as have no sin, but, 1. To be made such by Pardon through Christ's Merits, and by true Faith, as God will take by special love and favour unto life. 2. To be accounted such by God. 3. To be virtually Sentenced such by the Law of Grace and Faith, and to be just in Lawse•ce. 4. At last we shall be judged such by public Sentence. 5. And be used as such.
