The

comforts

of

mourners

for fin,

133

little

comfort

there

can

be to thee, but

now

when thou

goeft

to God

in

the

mediation of

his Son,

and in the

way

of the

Co-

venant

of

grace,

didlithou

but underhand

what

the

Covenant

of

grace means,

that the Lord

now

bath ter

a

part

f

ome

p

ao

le,

nor

to deale with them

as

in

themfelves, but

bath

Pent

his

Son

to

come

and make

fatisfietion,

and

all

the

wages of

God to-

wards

them

lhall be

eh,

ough his

Son,

an-i all

their

wages

to-

wards

God

lhall be

accepted through

his

Son.

This would be

a

great helpe

and

comfort to them, upon the

fall of

Adam our

condition

was fuch

as

God

might

have

for

ever

teje&

&ed

us,

fa

as

not to

have had any

regard

to

any

mourning

for

fin,

but

it

is

through

the

purchafe

of

the blood ofChriff that mourning

for

fin

is

regarded

by

God,

thou hail

not to deale

with

God

as

thou

art

in

thy

felfe but

as

through

his Son,

who

bath

tendered

up

to

the Father his;forrowes

for

thy foule.

Thirdly,

Know

that Jefus

Chrih

barb 'made

a

fufficient a-

tonement

for

;

That

is,

the Lord

Jefus Chriff bath

made

up

all

the

wrongs

that ever

fin

bath

done to

God

The

Lord

bath

not

fuffered

more prejudice

by

thy

fin,

then

he bath

had

honour through

the

fufferings

of

Chriff

for fin;thy fin bath

been

very

vild,

and

hath wronged

God

exceeding much, but

the

Lord

Jefus bath fatisfied

for

all

that

wrong

:

Now

when

there

is fuch a way

ofattonement, that

when

I

goe.

to God

for

the

pardon

of

my fin, and for

helpe againh

it,

that I

know

that

God

shall

never

have

any

wrong through my

fin,

but what is

made

up

through

the blood of

his Son,

if

I

had

to

deale with

God

in himfelfe only,

then I

might

think

that the

Lord

would

one

day or

other

be avenged

on

me though he

doh

forbear

me

for

the

prefent, but

now wherì

I come

to

underhand

what

the

attonement

Both mean;,

that Jefus

Chriff

bath

made, what

the price

is

that Jefus Chriff

hath

paid,

I

now come

to

fee

a,

way

wherein

all

the

wrong

that deer

my

fin

bath

done

to

God

to

be

made up,

now this cannot

but

raife up

the heart very

much.
