He shall see his seed prolong his dayes and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand These I say deeply looked into prove more redundant to the advantage of the Church then of Christ himself as if the Deity could look besides it self as the highest end and was resolved to make man the treasury and the store house of all his loves which stupendious mercy the Angels are said to stoop down as the original bears it 1 Per. 1.19 wishly to look into You see we have here a large Field but my purpose is to point unto you only one plain proposition Doct. which you hear of every day viz.

What else do the Papists when they tell us that a man may not onely merit for himself but supererogate for others and poor ignorant people amongst our selves who think to be saved by their good meaning by their good thinking and by their good serving of God as they say 't is true these are good things and to be incouraged but not trusted unto in point of justification We are all Isa 64.10 saith the Prophet as an unclean thing and our righteousnesses as filthy rags our best actions are rags but pieces of that perfection the Law requires there is no whole cloth in them they fail in their quantity again they are filthy rags polluted with original sin and so fall short in their quality and alas how are these things to be trusted to It was the Law when any brought his sacrifice unto God Deu. 15.19 21. vers He was to bring the firstling male of the flock but if it were halt or lame or blind or had any blemish he was not to offer it unto the Lord.
