1The first is, If sin be in the regenerate, yet covered and not imputed, How will this stand with the omniscience, truth and holiness of God? His omniscience, for he cannot but see sin if it be there: His truth, for God, must needs judge of things as they are; if therefore sin be there, he must judge it to be there, otherwise we make him like the wicked who covers sin, he will not acknowledge it to be there: Now what truth is this, to say of a regenerate man, he is cleansed and washed from all his evil, and yet his evil is in him? This the learned among the Papists do much urge, Pererius, Tirivus, &c. At most (saith Suarez de justificatione) it makes remission of sin to be nothing ⟨p. 219⟩but a remission of the punishment, not of the offence or fault. The very same is urged by Antinomists. Lastly, How doth it consist with Gods holiness; for he must needs hate sin in whomsoever he finds it; and therefore for the Saints to have sin in them, and yet God not to impute it to them, seemeth a contradiction.
