Christian Perfection
[Christian Perfection] is that habitual disposition of soul which, in the sacred writings, is termed “holiness;” and which directly implies, the being cleansed from sin “from all filthiness both of flesh and spirit”; and, by consequence the being endued with those virtues which were in Christ Jesus the being so “renewed in the image of our mind,” as to be “perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect.”
