Planelogia, a succinct and seasonable discourse of the occasions, causes, nature, rise, growth, and remedies of mental errors written some months since, and now made public, both for the healing and prevention of the sins and calamities which have broken in this way upon the churches of Christ, to the great scandal of religion, hardening of the wicked, and obstruction of Reformation : whereunto are subjoined by way of appendix : I.

For according to their Opinion, the justification of the Elect is an immanent act of God before the World was; and that Eternal act of Justification, making the Elect as completely Righteous as Christ himself, there could not possibly be any the least guilt in the Elect to be pardoned; and consequently no place, or room could be left for any Justification in time. And then it must follow, that seeing Christ died in time for sin, according to the Scriptures; It must be for his own sins that he died, and not for the sins of the Elect; Diametrically opposite to Rom. 4. 25. and the whole current of Scripture, and faith of Christians.
