Wherein do justification and sanctification differ?

Although sanctification be inseparably joined with justification,a yet they differ, in that God in justification imputeth the righteousness of Christ;b in sanctification his Spirit infuseth grace, and enableth to the exercise thereof;c in the former, sin is pardoned;d in the other, it is subdued:e the one doth equally free all believers from the revenging wrath of God, and that perfectly in this life, that they never fall into condemnation;f the other is neither equal in all,g nor in this life perfect in any,h but growing up to perfection.i
