That all believers are a holy and sanctified people, and that sanctification is a spiritual grace of the new Covenant, and effect of the love of God, manifested to the soul, whereby the believer is in truth and reality separated, both in soul and body, from all sin and dead works, through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, whereby he also presses after a heavenly and Evangelical perfection, in obedience to all the Commands, which Christ as head and King in this new Covenant has prescribed to him.
The Confession of Faith, Of those Churches which are commonly (though falsely) called Anabaptists, Section XXIX (London), 1644.
