the

Juflification

it
is
neither

there,
(
though
we

but
pardon
of
fin
is
through
the free
grace
of Gcd
applyed by

this
is
the
ground
of
all
our
Peace

with God

the

is
the
work

pardon,
rather
than any
work
of
Humiliation

,ean&ification by the Spirit

yet both thefe are fweet
and
comfortable
,
when we
found
the bottom and main foun-

of
all
our
peace on
the free grace
of
God
pardoning
our

juftifying

your

How
then fhall
it
be
?
thus,
being juftified
by
faith, looking
up
to
the
free grace
of
God
in
Chrift
for pardon
of
fin,
we come
to
have peace
with
God
;
and
this
is a
great
priviledge
:
but
if
you confider
on
the
other
fide,
,a
creature
not reconciled, cannot look
upon
the
infinite
Crea-
tor
without
terror
and
(hakings,
and
tremblings
of
fpirit, he
cannot
have
any thoughts
of God,
but
he thinks
of
him
as
his
Enemy
:
and
that
all the excellencies
of
God are
working mi-
fery
and ruine
to him,
this
is a
fad
thing
:
But when
