it is plain as by many Scripture-Testimonies so also the true Believers in Christ Jesus have Experience that all Evangelical Fruits of Righteousness and Holiness are brought forth by the Virtue and Power of Christ and that whatever Obedience any may bring forth by the Light within or be found in from a bare Conviction of Sin which is from GOD's Love and first Dispensation to all Mankind and is a Preparative for the second and more glorious Ministration yet it is all but legal and as from the Servant's State and it 's said The Servant abideth not in the House for ever but the Son Wherefore said the Apostle Gal. 3.24 25. the Law was our School-master to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by Faith But after that Faith is come we are no longer under a School-master And the Law of old altho it was truly observed and strictly kept yet we know that made not the Comers thereunto perfect as pertaining to the Conscience but the bringing in of a better Hope did which Hope is Christ which was to the Antients as an Anchor Heb. 6.19 most sure and stedfast and was the Ground and Foundation of the Faith of all the Generations of the Just from rightcous Abel unto this very Day and it was in this Faith Abel offered to GOD a more excellent Sacrifice than Cain And when the Author to the Hebrews had mentioned many of the Worthies of old which Time would fail to mention but says he They all died in the Faith not having received the Promises but having seen them afar off and were perswaded of them and embraced them with Joy Heb. 11.13 as faithful Abraham did who by the Eye of Faith saw the Day of the fulfilling of them for it is said that he rejoiced to see Christ's Day and he saw it and was glad And says he ver 39 40 All these having obtained a good Report through Faith received not the Promise GOD having observe provided or foreseen some better thing for us that they without us should not be made perfect Which is to be witnessed in and by our blessed Redeemer Christ Jesus and through the powerful Operations or his Divine Spirit in the Hearts of all sincere Believers And as it was of absolute Necessity and of great Benefit and Comfort to all GOD's People that were before our Blessed Lord Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary to look forward to his outward Coming Death and Sufferings for the Remission of Sins Peace and Reconciliation c. So is it likewise now no less necessary for all true Believers to look back with the Eye of Faith unto the blessed Day that the Lord Jesus Christ offered up himself freely once for all as a most acceptable and all-sufficient Sacrifice of Atonement unto GOD for our Sins and Propitiation for the Sins of the whole World by which his Wrath was appeased and divine Justice satissied For it was by his own Blood He obtained eternal Redemption and having made Peace through the Blood of his Cross by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself whether they be things in Heaven or things in Earth by which Blood He hath made us night to GOD who sometimes were afar off and by the Merit and Virtue of which precious Blood of the immaculate Lamb even that which was shed without the Gates of Jerusalem are we both justified and sanctified as we come to have a living Faith therein and as the divine Virtue and Efficacy thereof is opened and applied to us by the Holy Spirit For GOD commended his Love towards us in that while we were yet Sinners Christ died for us Much more then being now justified by his Blood we shall be saved from Wrath by HIM Rom. 5.8 9. Wherefore Jesus also that he might sanctify the People with his own Blood suffered without the Gate c. Heb. 13.12 It is indeed a Mercy greatly to be prized that we have the Knowledg of these things as they are left upon Record in the Holy Scriptures which were written for our Instruction and Learning the Spirit of the LORD also in our Hearts evidencing to the Verity thereof by which they are made very useful and comfortable to us in our serious diligent reading of them which ought to be preferr'd before all other Books whatsoever Let us therefore as with one Mouth bless the LORD and say with holy David Psal 103.1 2 3. O my Soul bless the LORD and all that is within me bless His Holy Name Bless the LORD O my Soul and forget not all His Benefits who forgiveth all thine Iniquities who healeth all thy Diseases c. Let us remember all His Mercies and tender Dealings and His manifold renewed Tokens of His Love and fresh Visitations by which we have been encouraged to travel on towards that everlasting City of eternal Repose where all Tears shall be wiped away and all Sighing shall come to an end there the Wicked cease from troubling and there the Weary be at Rest Job 3.17 We have cause to say with his Servant of old THOV hast granted me Life and Favour and thy Visitation hath preserved my Spirit Job 10.12 We are under great Obligations to walk with all Circumspection before Him adorning the glorious Gospel of our Blessed LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ in Holiness of Life and Conversation that so none may have any just Occasion to speak evilly of us but if they will through Prejudice or Malice let it be for JESUS sake who said Blessed are ye when Men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of Evil of you falsly for my sake rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your Reward in Heaven for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you And as He hath graciously promised He will also faithfully perform it to all His true Followers who have no sinister or by-end in professing Him but sincerely love Him and have Him in their Hearts and that in all Respects in all his Offices as He is King Priest and Prophet in Heaven without us as well as he is within us owns both his outward and inward Appearance they dare not divide the one from the other nor set the one in opposition to the other which GOD in His insinite Wisdom hath so necessarily joined together as the great Means of the Salvation of Mankind And upon Christ thus undivided even upon the same Jesus of Nazareth whom the Jews slew and hanged on a Tree and whom GOD by His mighty Power raised up again the third Day even Him whom GOD hath exalted with His right Hand to be a Prince and Saviour for to give Repentance unto Israel and Forgiveness of Sins I say on this Jesus who was crucisied for us and is now sat on the right Hand of the Majesty on high in the Heavens do they depend as all sincere-hearted Christians do for Life and Salvation and not upon any Works of Righteousness or even any Obedience or the
