Perkins: The Doctrine Of A Two-Stage Justification Is A “Popish Device”

“That popish device of a second justification is a satanical delusion for the Word of God does acknowledge no more but one justification at all, and that absolute and complete of itself. There is but one justice, but one satisfaction of God being offended. Therefore, there cannot be a manifold justification.”

William Perkins, The Works of William Perkins, 6:234 (HT: Inwoo Lee).
