which_o the_o apostle_n hold_v forth_o philip._n 3._o 9_o where_o he_o say_v that_o i_o may_v be_v find_v in_o he_o not_o have_v my_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o which_o be_v through_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n he_o suppose_v justice_n to_o be_v pursue_v he_o and_o that_o nothing_o he_o can_v do_v for_o himself_o will_v divert_v justice_n its_o pursuit_n nor_o secure_v he_o against_o it_o that_o he_o be_v a_o lose_v and_o go_v man_n i●_n himself_o he_o rest_v not_o on_o the_o discovery_n of_o his_o lose_a estate_n but_o seek_v to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o not_o have_v his_o own_o rig●ousness_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n but_o the_o righteousness_n whi●_n be_v by_o faith_n in_o he_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n that_o give_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o shall_v quiet_v the_o conscience_n but_o whe●_n the_o sinner_n have_v take_v this_o way_n if_o the_o conscience_n be_v not_o yet_o quiet_v and_o calm_v there_o be_v something_o further_a necessary_a as_o first_o the_o actual_a renew_n of_o that_o application_n to_o christ_n to_o get_v not_o so_o much_o a_o new_a pardon_n as_o a_o new_a extract_n of_o that_o pardon_n which_o he_o receive_v in_o his_o first_o flee_v to_o christ_n that_o by_o this_o renew_a application_n of_o faith_n to_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v he_o may_v also_o quiet_a the_o conscience_n so_o that_o when_o the_o man_n be_v flee_v to_o christ_n and_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n if_o he_o have_v not_o peace_n in_o his_o conscience_n he_o be_v to_o cast_v a_o renew_a look_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o to_o act_v faith_n of_o new_a on_o christ_n blood_n to_o hold_v it_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v unto_o and_o to_o lay_v it_o before_o his_o conscience_n take_v with_o his_o sin_n yet_o hold_v still_o by_o it_o that_o he_o be_v flee_v to_o christ_n and_o on_o that_o ground_n make_v use_n of_o the_o promise_n for_o the_o renew_a pardon_n of_o sin_n through_o his_o blood_n in_o this_o respect_n faith_n be_v call_v eph._n 6._o 16._o a_o shield_n take_v unto_o you_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o shield_n of_o faith_n whereby_o you_o may_v quench_v all_o the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n when_o the_o challenge_n be_v cast_v in_o on_o the_o conscience_n it_o as_o it_o be_v burn_v the_o believer_n even_o as_o a_o fiery_a or_o poison_a dart_n throw_v into_o a_o man_n body_n burn_v and_o inflame_v it_o but_o faith_n go_v to_o the_o fountain_n of_o christ_n blood_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n and_o draw_v out_o of_o these_o well_n of_o salvation_n bucketfull_n as_o it_o be_v to_o quench_v it_o or_o when_o a_o challenge_n come_v in_o back_v with_o temptation_n it_o make_v use_v of_o the_o promise_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o answer_v it_o and_o so_o faith_n be_v as_o a_o shield_n or_o targe_n to_o kepp_n the_o dart_n and_o beat_v it_o back_o it_o make_v the_o believer_n say_v i_o can_v satisfy_v for_o this_o sin_n but_o here_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o pardon_n to_o the_o man_n that_o be_v flee_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v as_o i_o be_o and_o make_v use_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o promise_n for_o renew_a intimation_n of_o pardon_n or_o for_o renew_a pardon_n as_o new_a guilt_n be_v contract_v and_o thus_o he_o be_v keep_v quiet_a that_o the_o challenge_n win_v not_o in_o so_o sar_n nor_o go_v so_o deep_a as_o to_o sting_v he_o in_o his_o vital_a part_n to_o speak_v so_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o peace_n and_o quietness_n be_v keep_v still_o alive_a tough_a he_o be_v in_o quick_a and_o sharp_a exercise_n under_o the_o challenge_n 2_o because_o challenge_n will_v not_o soon_o nor_o easy_o be_v get_v remove_v nor_o the_o conscience_n quick_o and_o without_o difficulty_n calm_v as_o we_o see_v in_o that_o forementioned_a instance_n of_o david_n psal._n 51._o there_o be_v need_n therefore_o of_o continue_v in_o the_o fight_n and_o of_o draw_v conclusion_n from_o solid_a and_o undeniable_a premise_n and_o ground_n to_o quiet_a the_o conscience_n and_o ward_v off_o challenge_n so_o as_o they_o may_v not_o wound_v and_o quite_o mar_v peace_n as_o paul_n do_v rom._n 8._o 1_o 2._o it_o may_v have_v be_v say_v to_o he_o thou_o have_v be_v complain_v of_o a_o body_n of_o death_n and_o that_o with_o thy_o flesh_n thou_o serve_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v not_o that_o a_o grievous_a challenge_n against_o thou_o it_o be_v true_a as_o if_o he_o say_v but_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o make_v use_n aright_o of_o the_o targe_n or_o shield_n of_o faith_n but_o to_o put_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o doubt_n he_o go_v on_o and_o subsume_v and_o draw_v the_o conclusion_n for_o the_o word_n be_v applicative_a to_o himself_o and_o speak_v with_o a_o considerable_a regard_n to_o his_o own_o particular_a exercise_n set_v down_o chap._n 7._o ay_o by_o faith_n be_o flee_v to_o christ_n for_o resuge_a and_o so_o be_o in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o i_o and_o indeed_o when_o ever_o challenge_v come_v in_o from_o sense_n and_o conscience_n put_v through_o other_o or_o mingle_v together_o as_o it_o be_v blow_v upon_o by_o temptation_n which_o will_v pursue_v the_o believer_n hardly_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o reason_n from_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n to_o ward_v off_o the_o blow_n and_o to_o queit_v the_o conscience_n and_o this_o though_o it_o be_v a_o reflex_n act_n of_o faith_n which_o do_v not_o justify_v yet_o it_o serve_v to_o reason_v the_o conscience_n into_o peace_n and_o calmness_n and_o there_o be_v need_n of_o faith_n act_v thus_o reflex_o though_o not_o as_o i_o say_v to_o justify_v yet_o to_o bring_v home_o the_o peace_n and_o comfort_n of_o justification_n and_o renew_v extract_n and_o intimation_n of_o pardon_n 3_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o believer_n quiet_a themselves_o positive_o by_o comfort_v &_o confirm_v themselves_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o what_o the_o promise_n speak_v and_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o what_o they_o have_v to_o expect_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o former_a and_o this_o be_v that_o in_o the_o former_a we_o draw_v home_o answer_n from_o the_o ground_n of_o faith_n to_o ward_v off_o the_o dint_n and_o bitterness_n of_o challenge_n but_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o thorough_o to_o calm_v and_o settle_v the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o latter_a be_v also_o needful_a that_o the_o soul_n positive_o draw_v in_o peace_n and_o consolation_n to_o itself_o by_o believe_v which_o as_o it_o be_v philip._n 4._o be_v able_a to_o guard_v the_o heart_n and_o mind_n through_o christ_n jesus_n and_o we_o conceive_v this_o to_o be_v david_n exercise_n psal._n 51._o where_o by_o exercise_v his_o faith_n on_o the_o promise_n and_o on_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o messiah_n to_o be_v shed_v and_o by_o wrestle_v for_o the_o intimation_n of_o pardon_n and_o peace_n he_o labour_v not_o only_o to_o get_v his_o conscience_n calm_v but_o even_o fill_v with_o consolation_n and_o because_o the_o promise_n be_v often_o somewhat_o wersh_fw-mi and_o tasteless_a to_o say_v so_o if_o not_o season_v and_o quicken_v by_o god_n voice_n go_v along_o with_o they_o and_o put_v favour_n and_o life_n in_o they_o this_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o joy_n and_o gladness_n which_o he_o will_v so_o fain_o hear_v therefore_o the_o believer_n insist_o with_o god_n thus_o to_o be-sprinkle_a his_o conscience_n and_o as_o he_o look_v to_o the_o righteousness_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o justification_n so_o he_o look_v to_o it_o for_o calm_v of_o the_o conscience_n and_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o be_v behold_v to_o free_a grace_n as_o for_o pardon_v of_o fin_n so_o for_o peace_n and_o calmness_n of_o conscience_n without_o which_o any_o other_o thing_n will_v not_o do_v the_o turn_n as_o for_o the_o 3d._a thing_n propose_v to_o he_o speak_v of_o viz._n the_o time_n or_o season_n or_o the_o case_n wherein_o the_o believer_n may_v and_o aught_o in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o liberty_n and_o boldness_n in_o draw_v near_o with_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o a_o believer_n who_o have_v make_v use_n of_o christ_n for_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n may_v also_o and_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o he_o and_o his_o blood_n for_o the_o sprinkle_v his_o conscience_n that_o he_o may_v come_v to_o god_n with_o boldness_n and_o confidence_n and_o there_o be_v no_o case_n wherein_o a_o believer_n may_v not_o aim_v at_o this_o but_o more_o especial_o he_o shall_v in_o these_o case_n as_o first_o when_o he_o be_v fall_v into_o more_o gross_a guilt_n as_o david_n be_v psal_n 51._o 2ly_n when_o that_o gross_a guilt_n and_o grievous_a sin_v be_v
