1. That a justified person having on Christs wedding garment, §1hath thereby all his sins quite taken away from before God, and so utterly abolished, that we have not any spot of sin in the sight of God (Honey-Comb of Justification, pag. 24. cap. 3. per tot.)
2. This is extended by them (pag. 27.) not only to actual §2sins but original sins, for we easily grant that in actual sins, if once forgiven, there remaineth no more defilement, but that he is made in that respect of remission, as white as snow, though there may remain a further disposition to evil, by that sin once committed, if renewing grace help not.
2. This is extended by them (pag. 27.) not only to actuall §2sins but originall sins, for we easily grant that in actuall sins, if once forgiven, there remaineth no more defilement, but that he is made in that respect of remission, as white as snow, though there may remain a further disposition to evil, by that sin once committed, if renewing grace help not.
3. This abolition of sin, they understand both of the fault and the §3guilt; so that God doth not only take away the punishment, but both the form of the sin also is wholly removed, so that there is neither punishment nor cause of punishment, in one thus justified. Hence they say, there is no sin in the Church now, and they express it thus, As a Physician, though he healeth a man, yet he cannot take away the scars; but God healeth sin so, as no scar remaineth, yea, he giveth a fresh colour again. They say likewise, our sin is consumed, as if one drop of water should be abolished by the heat of the Sun, yea, pag. 39. the Author affirmeth, that whosoever have not confidence in this one point, that our sins are so taken away by Christ, that God doth not see our sins in us, without doubt are damned as long as they continue to rob the blood of Christ of this honour; Therefore (saith he) true Divinity teacheth that there is no sin in the Church any more.
