D. MOreouer, the benefyt that we haue in Iesus Christe doth not serue vs onely for the remission of our sins, [unspec 25] and the absolucion of the same which we haue committed against the law, by the which the cursse therof is turned in to blessing o: but doth also serue to prepare vs for the tyme to come, and to bring vs to the true obedience that the re∣quireth of vs, to the end that we fal no more again into the fylth and daunger out of the which we haue ben deliuered. Therfore Iesus Christ is called not onely our iustificatiō, but also our sanctificatiō. The benefit then that we receiue of him is double: for first he blotteth out and wipeth away al the sinne that he findeth in vs. After that he doth regene∣rate vs by hys holy spirit, and doth reforme and make rea∣dy our vnderstandinges and our wyls for to know trulye the wil of God, and to agree vnto the same, and to yeld to God that obedience which is due vnto him. Therfore, how much the more so euer this regeneracion and reformation is perfect in vs, and the more we drawe nye to that estate of innocency, in the which the first man was created and set, so much the more ar we free from the law. For as S. Paul witnesseth: the law is not ordayned for the iust, but for the vniust.
