13. It overthroweth the true doctrine of sanctification: which declareth 1it to be inchoate, and imperfect; that our faith hath much unbelief in it, our best gold much dross, our wine much water. It is true, both the Papists and the Antinomian agree in this error, that because sin is covered, therefore there can be no sin seen in the godly; that the soul in this life is without spot and wrinkle: but they do it upon different grounds; whereas Paul, Rom. 7. doth abundantly destroy that principle. How blasphemous is that direction of the Papists to men dying, who are to pray thus: O Lord, join my obedience with all the sufferings of Christ for me, Conjunge (Domine) obsequium meum cum omnibus quae Christus passus est pro me? And how absurd is that doctrine, Si bona opera sunt magis bona, quàm mala opera mala, fortiùs merentur vitam aeternam?
