nelfe wee are
made
worthie
;
when
wee confider
that
in
our
fel
ues
we are
fubiea
to
the
curie
ofthe
law,the
anger
ofGod
and eternall
condemnation,wee
are
neuertheleffe affured
of
euerlafiing
life
and faluation,becaufe
we are
vnited to
Chril}
our.head,who hath
taken away our
curte and nailed
it
to
his
croule,
borne
his
fathers
difpleafure
to
reconcile
vs
vnto
him,
and
was
condemned and
fuffred
death to
free
vs
from
death
and
condemnation, and to
make
vs
heires
oflife andfaluati-
on.
So
that
now
we
behold
the huge debt
of
our
finnes,
as
it
is
difcharged and cancelled
with
his
merits
and
full fatif-
fa6tion;
NN'ee
behold
our imperfe&ions,
but
as
perfected
by
hisperfe'
&ions;
wee
looke
vpon
our vnworthincfle,
but
as
it
is
ennobled with
his
worthineffe;
when wee let before
vs
the
curie
of
the
law,,
the anger
of
God
and fentence
of
condemnation,
wee
confider
them
as
takenaway
and
foal_
lowed
vp
of
Chrifis death and
full
obedience
;
becaufe
now
wee are
vnited vnto Chtif
},and hee
is
become ours,
that
wee
might
become
his;
hee
hath
taken vpon
him
our
finnes
and
vnworthine.fle,
that
bee

And therefore
that
which
God
hath
wifely
ioyned
together,
let
not our
faith fondly fepa-
rate;for
ifit
be
vnlawful in carnal
mariages,then
much
more
in
the fpirituall mariage
betweene Chtift
and his
Church
But
let
vs
looke
vpon our
felues,
not
in our
felues,but
as
wee
are
vnited
vino Chrift,
and
then
our
felfe-
worthineffe
ofhell
and
deflruaion
will
not
abate our
