who
will

let

Who
is my

?
let
him
come
near
to
me
;
let
my
Adverfary
come
and
do
his
worlt,
he
is
near that
juftifies me
:
true, Chrift
had
no
fin
perfonally
to
be
pardoned
:
but he
had
the
fins
of
all
the
Elec`l:
charged
upon
him,
and upon
that
he fuffered
death.
Now
we
are to
know
,
Chrift
is
juftified as well
as
a
Believer
;
and the
very
ground
why
a
Believer
is
juftified,
it
is
becaufe
Chrift
is
juftifi-
ed
himfelf
:
Chrift
being juftified,
a
Believer comes to
be
jufti-
fied
;
this
might
havi
been
opened
in
the myfteries
of Pardon
of
Sin
:
There
is
a
juflifying
faro in
Chrift
as
in a
common
publick,
perfon,
and
then
by
faith
in
our
own
perfons.
Now though
in
the
Fathers
Justification
of Chrift
he
juftifies us ,
yet
not
as
parti-
cular perfons ,
but in
him
as a
common perron
in
the
Name
of
all
the
Elea
,
and
faith, that
comes in
that
we
might
be
juftified
in.
