Unto which being so many, there is one Answer, and a well fitted one out of Augustin: Distinguish the times, saith he, and you will reconcile Scriptures. Our Sins are done away by Christ; no Man doubts of that. But we must see how they are done away: He does them away in this Life, he will also do ⟨p. 187⟩them […] in the Life to come; but not after one and the same manner: 1For Iniquity is taken away and Sin receives an end, as is evident by the Prophecy of Daniel. But if you ask how in this Flesh? Augustin will answer you: None, saith he, takes away Sin, but Christ, who is the Lamb of God that takes away the Sins of the World: And he takes them away, both by removing the Sins that were done, and by helping, that they may not be done, and by bringing 2to the Future Life where they cannot be done at all.
