Sanctification wrought by degrees. [ 719]

SAnctification is not perfect in an instant;* 1.1 As wounds are easily taken, but not easi∣ly cured; so are sins quickly contracted, but not quickly purged; Sins are compa∣red to scum, Ezel. 24. 6. and meat will aske some good boyling before all the scum be out of it; to Dross, Isai. 1. 22. and Mettals, and they must be long in the fire be∣fore they be refined: and lastly, to spots and stains, Jud. 12, which if they be deep in a Garment, will not be fetched out but with the Fullers sope; neither are such Garments scoured without a great deal of toyl, that which is bred in the bone will hardly be got out of the flesh: Sanctification therefore is wrought by degrees, there must be many a sigh, many a tear, many a groan, before we come to a full height and stature in Christ Iesus.
