Propos. 6.
But now if the Spirit of God do show abroad his Light into such a Soul, and give him a clear sight of his estate in a free Promise of grace in Christ; such a one evidently discerneth both his Justification and his Sanctification; and the one of them giving good Evidence to the other, the Blood to the Water, and the Water to the Blood, and the Spirit to both, 1 John 5.6.8. And thus in evidencing his Justification by his Sanctification, he doth not build his Justification upon his Sanctification, nor hereby go on in a Covenant of works, nor go aside to it.
