Chapter 13: Of Sanctification

They who are united to Christ, Effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart, and a new Spirit created in them, through the vertue of Christ’s death, and Resurrection; are also farther sanctified, really, and personally, through the same vertue,^a by his word and Spirit dwelling in them;^b the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed,^c and the several lusts thereof, are more and more weakned, and mortified; and they more and more quickened, and^d strengthned in all saving graces, to the^e practice of all true holyness, without which no man shall see the Lord.^f

This Sanctification is throughout, in the whole man, yet imperfect^a in this life; there abideth still some remnants of corruption in every part, whence ariseth a^b continual, and irreconcilable war; the Flesh lusting against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the Flesh.^c

In which war, although the remaining corruption for a time may much prevail; yet through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying Spirit of Christ the^a regenerate part doth overcome; and so the Saints grow in Grace, perfecting holiness in the fear of God;^b pressing after an heavenly life, in Evangelical Obedience to all the commands which Christ as Head and King, in his Word hath prescribed to them.^c
