Chamier: sins remitted before we believe — yet that faith does not justify
Chamier: sins remitted to us before we believe; faith later than justification.
Yet the faith that sins are already remitted does not justify — it is wrought in, and required of, the already-justified.
No one of sound reason is justified without this faith; no one has this faith who is not justified.
Panstratia Catholica XIII.6.
Latin
LXX. Chamierus autem simpliciter concedit peccata nobis esse remissa antequam credamus, & fidem justificatione posteriorem esse. Fidem tamen qua credimus peccata nobis jam esse remissa non justificare, quia efficitur in justificato, & requiritur a justificato; adeo ut nemo, qui quidem fruatur usu rationis, justificatus sit, nisi qui habeat hanc fidem, neque ullus habeat hanc fidem qui non sit justificatus. Panstratiae Catholicae. lib. 13. cap. 6.
