as

if

thou

wert

eternally

damned

for them it

is

not

Rich

a

pardon,

as

that

there

is

no

punifhment to

be

fuffered, but who

-

foevers

fins

are

pardoned,

there

is

this

agreement

between

God

the Father

and

the

Son ,

that

his

own

Son

íhall

fuffer

as

much

punifhment,

as

if

thou fhouldft

fuffer

eternally the

wrath

ofGod

for thy

fin,

there

is

this done

for

thee

;

and

furely

that

man

is

a bleffed

man

for

whom

Chrift

is

content to

fuffer fò much

as

thy

fins

come

to,

cr

elfe

thou

muff

have

been

eternally damned, this

Religion

and

the

Gofpel

teaches

us,

that

we

can

never come

to

be

pardoned

by

any

other

way.

Of

There

is

this

myfterie

in it

Where

ever

fin

is

pardoned,

God

does

not

only

pats by

fin

and

forgive

ir, but

he

makes

the

foul

ftand

righteous

before him

;

every juftified man ftands

righteous

before

the

Lord.

A malefa

&or

may come

to

a

Prince,

and

be

forgiven

his

fault,and yet not

accounted

a

righteous

man,

he may

be

lookt upon

as

a

wicked

wretch ft

ill,

though

out

of

free

grace the Prince forgive him

:

But

God

never forgives

the

of-

fence

of

any one fin, but

that

man

is

fet

righteous

before

the

Lord,

this

is

done

by

an A&

of

Juftification

;

I

fpeak

not

of

San&ification

:

A

Prince

may forgive

a

Traytor,

but the Law

is

not

fatisfied but

God

when

he

forgives fin,

takes fuch

a

courfe

as

that the

offence

is

not only forgiven,

but

the

Law comes

to

be

fatisfied,

and

the

foul

ftands before

God

as

a

righteous per

-

fon and

furely

he

that

is

righteous

muff

needs be bleared.

it

is

a

this

is

a

great

myfterie,

that

a

Mould ftand

righteous

before

the

and

yet

in

the righteoufneff

of

Phil. 3.8,9,

St.

Paul

counted

his

righteoufnefs

as

that

he

might

be found in

him, that

is

in

Not having
