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

For then [quâ justistcans] should be contradistinct only from [qua sanctificans] or the like. And if so, it is one and the same Faith and the same acts of faith, that sanctify and justify. As if a King put into a gracious act, to a company of Rebels, that they shall be pardoned, honoured, enriched, and all upon condition of their thankful acceptance of him, and of this act of Grace: Here there is no room to distinguish of their Acceptance, as if the acceptance of pardon were the condition of pardon, and the acceptance of riches were the condition of their Riches, &c. But it is the same acceptance of their Prince and his Act of Grace, that hath relation to the several consequent benefits, & may be called pardoning, honouring & enriching in several respects. It is the same marriage of a Prince that makes a woman rich, honourable, &c. So it is the same faith in whole Christ, as Christ, that is sanctifying and justifying, as it relateth to the several Benefits: that is, it is the condition of both, so that their [quâ justifi•ans] doth either intimate this untruth, that haec fides quae talis, id est, qua fides in Christum crucifixum justificat] (which is true, neither of one act, nor other,) and so begs the Question, or else it saith nothing. So that I shall never admit this quae justificans, without an Exposition; and better then yet I have seen from any that use it.
