And alto
in
a
concordant
Holy
worfhip-
ping
of
God.
For
which end particular Churches
are appoint-
ed by.Chrifi, who
are to
be
guided by
their
feveral
Paftors, who
are
Miniflers
under Chritt,
in his
Teaching, Priefily
and
Ruling
Office.
And
that Worfhip
is
infhituted by Chrifi
in
which
this
Communion mutt be
exercifed,
faving
that
the
ordering
and
circumflances
are much left
to the Church
Guides. And
the
Lords
Day is
feparated
for

Difcipline
is
to keep

The
Remilfion
of
Sins
is
the
other part of
the
Salvation
of
the
Church
;
the fruit
of
thrifts
blood,
and
the
Gift
Of
his
Cove-
nant, asSanogißcation is
the work of
his Spirit. Remiflion
of
fin
is
our
Juflification (including
the
Gift
of
Right
si
Life)
;
And
it hath three degrees, or
is
of
three
forts
:
r.
Conf
it. Live,
which giveth
us Right
to
impunity,
and
difíòlveth
our Guilt
or
Obligation
to
Punifhment
:
This
is
Gods
Ad
as
Legiflator
and
Donor
by
the New Covenant, which
is
the
Gift
of
our Right.
2.
Sentential
by which
God
as
Judge pronounceth
us
pardoned
and
¡rift.
3. Executive, by
which God actually
freeth
us
from
punifhment,
(of
fenfe
and
lofs,) and giveth
us
life.
Remiflion is
i.
univerfal,
of
all
fins
pail
;
and
this
is
given
at
once
:
Really
by
God
at
the
time
of
our
true
believing
and
contenting
to the
Covenant. But by folemn Minifterial
delivery
in
Baptifm(vifìbly;)in which Chrifl with Pardon
is
folemnly
de-
livered
by Gods
appointment
to
true
Believers,
and
their
Seed
that by them are dedicated to
God.
2. Particular,of
every fin
after Baptifm and Converfion
:
For
upon
particular Repentance,
God
give
thus
the pardon
of
particular
fins
from day
to
day.
Sin
may
be faid to be virtually forgiven before
it
is
committed,
becaufe
the
caufes
of
forgivenefs
are exiflent
:
But
that
is
no
properly
anual
forgivenefs
:
For that
which
is
not yet
fin, can-
not he forgiven-fin.
The condition
of
Pardon and
Juflification
is
fometime
called
Faith limply, fometime
alto
Repentance: and indeed
is
a
penitent Relievers
confine
to the Covenant
of
Grace,
which
is
the
condition
of
his
Title
to
this
and
the other
Rights
of
the
Cove-
nant at once
:
It
being
a
free
gift
purchafed by Chrifls Sacrifice
and
meritorious Righteoulnefs,and
by this Covenant made
ours.
This
is
the
plain
and
full
Donrinc
of Remiflion
&
JuftiFcation
;
beyond which
a
good
Chriffian need not
trouble
his
head with
the invented words and
r.iceties, and
controverees
of
there
times.
