Is our Iustification perfected in this life?

In Iustification, as wee are iudged and accounted righteous by God, so wee are adiudged vnto life eternall. So that in respect of Gods decree, and of the sentence it selfe, of life eternall pro∣nounced by God the Iudge; also in respect of righteousnes, which the heauenly Iudge imputeth vnto vs; our Iustification is alreadie perfected in this life, sauing that in the life to come, this imputed righteousnes is to be reuealed and made more manifest, and to be more neerely applyed and appropriated vnto vs. But yet our whole iustification is perfected in this life, in which a man may be said to bee fully and perfectly iustified. Wee are the sonnes of God (therefore iust••fied) but it doth not yet appeare what we shall be. 1. Iohn. 3.2.

But, if you respect the execution of Gods decree, and looke vnto the life and glorie which is adiudged vnto vs, and which is to cleaue and stick vnto vs, because that in this life is not perfected in vs, our iustification therefore may bee accounted also imper∣fect in this life.
