CHAP. XIII. Of Sanctification.
They who are effectually called, and Regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit created in them; are further sanctified, really, and personally, through the virtue of Christs death and resurrection, by his Word, and Spirit dwelling in them: the Dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified; and they, more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces, to the practise of true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

II. This Sanctification is throughout, in the whole man; yet imperfect in this life, there abiding still some remnants of corruption in every part: whence ariseth a continual, and irreconcilable war; the flesh lusting against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh.
