Forgive us our sins, as we forgive them that sin against us: And Nathan saith to David, 2 Sam. 12.13. The Lord also hath put away thy sin, thou shalt not die. David, before he contracted this horrible guilt of murder and adultery, was a man according to Gods own heart, and so his person was justified; this way God daily taketh away sin, Rom. 1.17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the just shall live by faith: Now the life of faith justifying, is not one single act of faith, such as is at ou• first personal, relative and universal absolution; but the believer liveth by renewed and often repeated acts of faith; such as is, To walk from faith to faith: The least faith, even the Minimum quod sic, doth justify, but the Gospel requireth a growth ⟨p. 229⟩in faith. In this sense remission is a continued and one prorogated act of free grace, from our first moment of believing, to the day of putting the crown on our head.
