yet my Saviour he hath pleaded for mee he hath procured a pardon for all my sinnes and sealed it he hath set his hand to it and hath put it safe lockt up with the key of his Love in my heart by his Spirit all the Divels in Hell can never get it from me I fear not you can but kill my bodie you can doe no more the Lord will raise me up again at his comming and then my corruptible bodie will be made incorruptible and this bodie which is mortall shall be made immortall and glorious then will this his Spirit which bids me write here come againe and own me by the vertue of my Beloved shall I be raised up again to meet the Lord my God with joy and rejoyceing to the praise and glory of his great and holy Name this is true for Christ himselfe in whom only I trust for Salvacion hath told me so whatever you plead against me it is to no purpose for I have a righteous Advocate at Gods right hand nay further I have Gods discharge within mine own heart which is my acquittance you have nothing to require O Law but death the wages of sinne that pray take whensoever it pleaseth God you shall have it as for my soul my God by his free Grace hath clasped it in his armes of mercy I am his darling his jewell J see plainly that he delighteth in mee hee lives in me by his Spirit and I in him by my Faith although I have I confesse broken the Law yet Jesus Christ kept it and he hath satisfied the justice of God it makes as much to my discharge as if I had kept it my selfe as my Saviour was beloved of God the Father so am I through faith in him You 'l say I transgresse the Law daily in thought word or deed I say no it is not I but sin that dwelleth in me I have a bad neighbour but Christ will give mee patience and courage to war against my enemie it shall have no power it may take the best
