Q. But doth not God put grace into a justified sinner?
A. Yes, but he doth it by sanctification, not by justification. We receive justification all at once, and that neither admits of increase, or decrease, but holiness is usually increased, and decreaseth many times.

Q. What is sanctification?
A. Its the restoring of a justified man into the image of God wherein he was created: Not a making new faculties in the soul, but putting them into right order; as when a clock falls in pieces (the wheels being not broken) the clock hath not new wheels set into it, but they are new made again.
