And thus Justification is many ways distinguished. And notwithstanding all this, it is still actus indivisus, an undivided act; not on our part, for it is iterated in many acts; but on God's part, who at once decreed it; and on Christ's part, who by one Offering purchased it, and at the time of our Vocation universally applied it, as to the state of the Person justified; and that so effectually, as no future Sin shall bring that Person any more under Condemnation.
In this Sentence or Judgment, the Generality of Reformed Orthodox Divines are agreed; and the want of distinguishing, (as they according to Scripture have distinguished) hath led the Antinomians into this first Error about Justification, and that Error hath led them into most of the other Errors. That this Doctrine of theirs, (which teaches that Men are justified actually and completely, before they have a being) is an Error, and hath no solid Foundation to support it, may be evidenced by these three Reasons.
