That you may understand the thing the better, there are two things, two kinds of righteousness; the one of justification, the other of sanctification. The Holy Ghost distinguisheth them by several terms 1 Cor. 1. ult. Of him are ye in Christ Jesus who is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. You see here are two distinct graces; righteousness and sanctification; they make them but one, sanctification and remission of sins. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Here justification and sanctification is nothing else but justification and glorification; Saint Paul speaks of a thing past, not of the glory to come: (i. e.) sanctification which is inchoate glory. For what is the glory we shall have in heaven but the enlargement of those inherent graces God begins in this world? Here is the seed, there is the crop; here thou hast a little knowledge, but there it shall be enlarged; now thou hast a little joy, there thou shalt enter into thy Masters joy; here some knowledge, but there thou shalt have a full knowledge, and a full measure. Here glory dwelleth in our Land, but there we shall with open face behold as in a glass the glory of the Lord, and be changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord, 2 Cor. 3.18. (i. e.) we are more and more conformed to the image of Almighty God, by obedience and holy qualities infused into us, that we grow from one degree of sanctification unto another. And so you see how these are distinguished by their terms. Justification and glorification, justification and sanctification. There is another ⟨p. 431⟩place in Saint John, an hard place; but yet as I take it, these two righteousnesses that have the same name, to be distinct in their terms. It is said, Joh. 16.8. That when the Spirit shall come, he shall reprove, or (as we should translate it) he shall convince the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment. Thus I say it should be translated, for 'tis no sense to say that God shall reprove the world of righteousness; on what occasion this was spoken we must not stand to speak: but righteousness and judgment is justification and sanctification. And the drift of the place is this, when the Spirit shall come, how? not upon me or thee;
That you may understand the thing the better, there are two things, two kinds of righteousnesse; the one of justification, the other of sanctification. The Holy Ghost distinguisheth them by several terms 1 Cor. 1. ult. Of him are ye in Christ Jesus who is made unto us wisdome, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. You see here are two distinct graces; righteousnesse and sanctification; they make them but one, sanctification and remission of sinnes. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Here justification and sanctification is nothing else but justification and glorification; Saint Paul speaks of a thing past, not of the glory to come: (i. e.) sanctification which is inchoate glory. For what is the glory we shall have in heaven but the inlargement of those inherent graces God begins in this world? Here is the seed, there is the crop; here thou hast a little knowledge, but there it shall be inlarged; now thou hast a little joy, there thou shalt enter into thy Masters joy; here some knowledge, but there thou shalt have a full knowledge, and a full measure.
