The former is of those that would have justification to consist partly in remission of sins, and partly in sanctification and the renovation of the inward man. So the Fathers of the Council ⟨p. 17⟩of Trent seem at least to determine, where they say, Sess. 6. c. 7. of justificat. Est ipsa justificatio, non solum peccatorum remissio, sed & sanctificatio & renovatio hominis interioris, unde homo ex injusto justus fit. that is, justification it self is not only remission of sins, but sanctification also and renovation of the inward man; whereby of unjust a man is made just. And so Bellarmine also de justific. lib. 1. cap. 2. Justificatio impii constat ex remissione peccati, & infusione gratiae. Justification consists of remission of sin, and infusion of grace. Or as some others, remissione peccatorum & infusione justitiae sive gratiae sanctificantis. In remission of sins and infusion of righteousness or sanctifying grace. And howsoever Bellarmine charge Calvin with fraudulent dealing in his Antidote against the Doctrine of the Council of Trent, Sess. 6. in saying, Caussam Justificationis faciunt duplicem, &c. that the Fathers of that Council make a twofold cause of Justification, as if we were just, partly by remission of sins, and partly by spiritual Regeneration. Yet the words of that passage above recited seem to intimate no other: and Bellarmine himself besides what out of him before, in Chap. 6. of the same Book before pointed to, terms remissionem peccati & donum renovationis, utramque partem Justificationis, Remission of sin, and the gift of renovation, both parts of Justification. concerning which see Wotton more largelie, de Justificat. part. 2. lib. 2. cap. 6. Yea throughout the whole Chapter his main intendment is, as himself propounds it, to prove, from Scripture, Reason, and Autoritie, Justificationem non consistere in sola peccatorum remissione, sed etiam in interna renovation, that Justification consists not in remission of sins only, but in inward Renovation also.

The former is of those that would have justification to consist partlie in remission of sinnes, and partlie in sanctification and the renovation of the inward man. So the Fathers of the Councel ⟨p. 17⟩of Trent seem at least to determine, where they say, Sess. 6. c. 7. of justificat. Est ipsa justificatio, non solum peccatorum remissio, sed & sanctificatio & renovatio hominis interioris, unde homo ex injusto justus fit. that is, justification it self is not onlie remission of sins, but sanctification also and renovation of the inward man; whereby of unjust a man is made just. And so Bellarmine also de justific. lib. 1. cap. 2. Justificatio impii constat ex remissione peccati, & infusione gratiae. Justification consists of remission of sin, and infusion of grace.
