Its ejecialObjec"1 farther cleared. 167 the Lord Chrift doth pardon and juftifie Sinners. Not that he did as a King conftitute the Law of Juftification, for it was given and eftabliíhed in the firft Promife, and he came to put it in Execution ; joh. 3. i 6. But in the vertue of his Attone- ment and Righteoufnefs imputed unto them, he doth both pardon and juftifieSinners.
