386 I etfauo f ait»: Chriflus ; the fe three dead ones are three forts of Sinners railed up by Chrift. As the Maid in the houle, fo is the fecret Sinner railed up intra la- tebras confcientie, within the doors of his own Heart. As the young Man carried out upon the Bier, fo is the open Sinner railed up out of known Sins : And as Lazarus dead and flink n in the grave, fo is itAe cuftomary Sinner raifec up out of his old putrified Sins. At the voice of Chrift the frongelt bonds of cullom are broken, and the poor Sinner comes forth in- to an holy life. There things being fo, it ap- pears, That the Believer may experiment the Spiritual Miracles of Chrift ; and from thence gather a proof in his own Heart, That the ve- ry fame hand wrought the Corporal ones; ef- pecially feeing thefe latter are but types and íhadows of the other, which he finds verified in himfelf. Thus much touching this Fundamental Ex- periment of the Scriptures : A Believer may experiment the Laws, Promifes, Threatnings, Supernatural Truths, Sacred Ordinances, and Great Works in Scripture to be Divine, and fo bave a Pratlical proof that the Scripture is of God.
