From man’s side: active faith and worthy repentance-works; what then is God’s remitting action?

Man’s side: active efficacious faith fleeing to grace in Christ, plus repentance-worthy works.

God’s remitting act is best read by asking how the opposed guilt-relation is contracted.

Latin

XI. Porro ex iis quae dicta sunt patet, ut homo peccatorum remissionem consequatur, ex ejus parte nil amplius requiri, quam ut actuosa & efficaci fide ad Dei gratiam per Christum confugiat, & studeat operibus poenitentia dignis. Sed quaeritur quae sit illa Dei actio, per quam homo a reatu peccatorum absolvitur, & fit remissionis peccatorum particeps. Istud autem non videtur melius intelligi posse, quam si consideremus quomodo contrahatur reatus ille quem tollit remissio peccatorum, & cui opponitur quasi a diametro.
