Quest. XII.

Whether when my Sanctification lyeth prostrate, I may not prove my self in a state of Grace by my Sanctification?

Answer.

If my Justification lyeth prostrate (that is, altogether dark and hidden from me (I cannot prove my selfe in a state of Grace by my Sanctification: For whilst I cannot beleeve that my Person is ac∣cepted in Justification, I cannot beleeve that my Works are accep∣ted of God, as any true Sanctification.
