Et Serm. 15. de verb. Apost. Sine voluntate tua non erit in te Justitia Dei. Voluntas non est nisi tua; Justitia non est nisi Dei: he expounds it of Holiness. — Traditus est propter delicta nostra, & resurrexit, propter justificationem nostram. Quid est, Propter Justificationem nostram? Ut justificet nos, & justos faciat nos. Eris opus Dei non solum quia homo es, sed quia Justus es: Qui fecit te sine te, non te justificat sine te: Tamen ipse justificat, ne sit justitia tua. — Dei justitiam dat non litera occidens, sed vivificans Spiritus. — Vid. de Grat. Christi Cap. 13, 14.

Abundance such passages in Augustine fully show that he took Justification to signify Sanctification, or the Spirits renovation of us; and thinks it is called the Righteousness of God and Christ, and not ours, because by the Spirit he worketh it in us. And when he saith that bona opera sequuntur Justificatum, non precedunt Justificandum (as in sense he often doth) he meaneth that we are freely sanctified, before we do good. I would cite abundance, but for swelling the writing, and tiring the Reader. And his followers Prosper, and Fulgentius go the same way, as you may easily find in their writings.
