Cap. X: Twin remedies — imputed justice and Spirit; Garissoles’s denial

Corruption therefore wears a double face: forensic — so that unless it is forgiven it is charged to death — and moral or philosophical, making the subject ready to sin. We therefore needed a double cure: Christ’s justice imputed to heal corruption’s guilt, and the Spirit’s power to tear the blot out of the subject. Is this not orthodox teaching, confessed by all the purer churches? I am astonished that D. Garissoles denied it here — though the astonishment should not run deep. Those who press antecedent imputation almost cannot help striking this reef.

Latin

Cum igitur corruptio duplicem illum respectum habeat, unum forensem, quo fit, ut, nisi condonetur, imputetur ad mortem; alterum moralem seu philosophicum, quo subjectum reddit habile ad peccandum, duplici nobis remedio opus fuit, imputatione justitiae Christi, quae mederetur reatui corruptionis, & vi Spiritus, qua e subjecto revelleretur. Nonne orthodoxa est haec doctrina, & ab omnibus purioribus Ecclesiis confessa? Miror igitur eam doctrinam a D. Garissolio hoc loco fuisse negatam. Quanquam id non est admodum mirandum. Vix enim fieri potest, quin in hunc scopulum incurrant ij, qui antecedentem imputationem probare student.
