6. To whom remission of sins is given.
1Remission of sins is given to all the elect, and them alone, because it is given to them all and alone who believe, and none believe but the elect only: for the reprobate never have true faith and belief; therefore they never obtain remission of their sins: He that believeth in the Son, hath everlasting life. To him give all the Prophets witness, that through his Name all that believe in him shall receive remission of sins. Yet all the elect have not always remission of sins; but all believers have it always, because they only have remission of sins who believe that they have it. But this the elect do not always believe; but then first, when they are converted and endued with faith: yet in respect of the secret and fore-determined purpose of God, they have always remission of sins. Now infants have remission of sins, because they have faith and conversion in aptitude and inclination, though not actually.
