So died that great Emperour Charles the fifth as Thuanus gives the account of his Novissima So he reasoned with himself Se quidem indignum esse qui propriis meritis regnum caelorum obtineret Sed Dominum Deum suum qui illud duplici jure obtineat Patris haereditate Passionis merito altero contentum esse alterum sibi donare ex cujus dono illud sibi merito vendicet hacque fiducia fretus minime confundatur neque enim oleum misericordiae nisi in vase fiduciae poni hanc hominis fiduciam esse a se deficientis innitentis domino suo alioquin propriis meritis fidere non fidei esse sed perfidiae peccata deleri per Dei indulgentiam ideoque credere nos debere peccata deleri non posse nisi ab eo eui soli peccavimus in quem peccatum non cadit per quem solum nobis peecata condonentur That in himself he was altogether unworthy to obtain the Kingdom of Heaven by his own Works or Merits but that his Lord God who enjoyed it on a double Right or Title by inheritance of the Father and the merit of his own passion was contented with the one himself and freely granted unto him the other on whose free grant he laid claim thereunto and in confidence thereof he should not be confounded for the Oyl of mercy is poured only into the Vessel of Faith or Trust that this is the Trust of a man despairing in himself and resting in his Lord otherwise to trust unto his own Works or Merits is not Faith but Treachery that sins are blotted out by the mercy of God and therefore we ought to believe that our sins can be pardoned by him alone against whom alone we have sinned with whom there is no sin and by whom alone sins are forgiven This is the Faith of men when they come to dye and those who are exercised with Temptations whilst they live Some are hardened in sin and endeavour to leave this World without thoughts of another Some are stupidly ignorant who neither know nor consider what it is to appear in the presence of God and to be judged by him Some are seduced to place their confidence in merits pardons indulgences and future suffrages for the dead But such as are acquainted with God and themselves in any spiritual manner who take a view of the time that is past and approaching Eternity into which they must enter by the Judgment seat of God however they may have thought talked and disputed about their own works and Obedience looking on Christ and his Righteousness only to make up some small defects in themselves will come at last unto an universal Renuntiation of what they have been and are and betake themselves unto Christ alone for Righteousness or Salvation And in the whole ensuing Discourse I shall as little as is possible immix my self in any curious Scholastical disputes This is the substance of what is pleaded for that men should renounce all confidence in themselves and every thing that may give countenance thereunto betaking themselves unto the Grace of God by Christ alone for Righteousness and Salvation This God designeth in the Gospel 1 Cor. 1.29 30 31. and herein whatever difficulties we may meet withall in the Explication of some Propositions and Terms that belong unto the Doctrine of Justification about which men have various conceptions I doubt not of the internal concurrent suffrage of them who know any thing as they ought of God and themselves Fifthly There is in the Scripture represented unto us a Commutation between Christ and Believers as unto Sin and Righteousness that is in the imputation of their sins unto him and of his Righteousness unto them In the Improvement and Application hereof unto our own Souls no small part of the life and exercise of Faith doth consist This was taught the Church of God in offering of the Scape Goat And Aaron shall lay his hands on the head of the live Goat and confess over him all the Iniquities of the Children of Israel and all their Transgressions in all their Sins putting them on the head of the Goat And the Goat shall bear upon him all their Iniquities Levit. 16.21 22. Whether this Goat sent away with this burthen upon him did live and so was a Type of the life of Christ in his Resurrection after his Death or whether he perished in the Wilderness being cast down the precipice of a Rock by him that conveyed him away as the Jews suppose it is generally acknowledged that what was done to him and with him was only a Representation of what was done really in the Person of Jesus Christ. And Aaron did not only confess the sins of the People over the Goat but he also put them all on his
