Of justification four disputations clearing and amicably defending the truth against the unnecessary oppositions…

2. And as easy is the Answer to your second. [If the Covenant justify without any other Act, then it adopts, sanctifieth, Glorifieth, without any other.] Answer. In the Propositions against Mr. Bedford, you might have seen this dispelled. For Adoption, I yield the whole. But know you not that as there is great difference between changes Relative and Qualitative; so the later results not from a mee• Fundamentum, &c. but is effected by a Physical Operation? It is Jus ad rem, it is Right or Duness, which is the proper immediate product, or (quasi) effect resulting from, and given by the Law, or the like Instrument; and not the natural thing it self. Now in these Relations, either the Right and the thing it self are the same; or else the difference so small, that it is next to undiscernible, and must needs both in e•dem instanti result, as afore said. But in Physical changes, there is a greater difference between the Right and the Benefit: The Benefit cannot, as the Right doth, proceed per •ndam resultanti••. If you give your Son 100. l. by a Deed of Gift, this giveth him the Right immediately, but not the Thing. There must be a Physical Act to that. But Pardon to a Malefactor is ⟨p. 386⟩given by a written Pardon or Grant, from whence the Right to it, and the Benefit it self, do immediately result (being indeed but one thing, except my understanding be too gross to distinguish them.) If therefore you had said as you should, that Right to Glory and to Sanctity (so far as that Covenant giveth it) are bestowed without any other Act, (except final Judgement▪ which is necessary to full Justification as well as Glory) I should yield you all.
