I say all these three worlds of sinne into one head as they fable that hellish Dog had three heads on one necke nay were it possible that heauen earth hell and all might be put in the one ballance and the alone merit of Christ his passion might be poised in the other they should all appeare in comparison of it but as a drop of water to the seas as the earth to the heauens as a very nothing to to the whole world The summe of all is this the mercies of Christ and merits of his passion are in multitude innumerable in magnitude immeasurable euery way vnvaluable and infinite One the other side the sinnes of men though to the vnderstanding of man they may seeme infinite yet indeed and in the apprehension of God they are all finite both in number and measure Well then Christ hath suffered once for all 1.

Th à campis Quia ergo Iustus iniustè punitus est Iniustus iustè sum liberatus My conclusion is then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus It is my Iesus that iustifieth mee and who is he that can condemne me It is my Christ that dyed for me or rather that is risen againe and hath his session at the right hand of God and maketh Intercession for mee and who shall seperate mee from the loue of Christ 2. Tim. 2.19 In a word the foundation of God remaineth sure and hath this seale The Lord knoweth who are his and as it is aeternally continued in this indissolluble chaine Whom once he knoweth Rom. 8.29.30.31 c. he also praedestinateth and whom he praedestinateth he calleth and whom he calleth he iustifyeth and whom he iustifieth he glorifieth What shall I then saye to these things If God bee on my side who can bee agaynst mee Hee hath giuen his owne onely sonne for mee and how can hee not giue with him all other things vnto mee As I saide afore so say I nowe againe The foundation of God remaineth sure and hath this seale The Lord knoweth who are his 2.
