Now remission of sin doth wholly lie in removing of these two: so that when God doth will neither to punish or to be offended with the person, then he is said to forgive. We must not therefore speak of two kinds of remissions, one remission of the punishment, another of the offence and fault; for this is one remission, and God never doth the one without the other. It is true there remain paternal and medicinal chastisements after sin is forgiven, but no offence, or punishment strictly so taken. What kind of act this remission is, whether immanent or transient, is to be showed in the next Question.
