1. When we are called, then are we Sanctified, then are we Glorified, 1 Cor. 1.2. as in our natural conception, as soon as ever the child liveth, Adams sin is first imputed, and then there is a proneness in it to carry it captive unto fin, and to make it backward unto any goodness: So when the Life of Christ is dispensed unto the soul, now the Lord comes to convey with it Justification, or pardon of sin, and then there is a promise in a Justified person to walk in the spirit, Gal. 5.25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
