belove_a son_n of_o god_n all_o the_o while_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o time_n a_o come_n when_o all_o those_o that_o be_v discharge_v in_o god_n court_n in_o heaven_n shall_v be_v clear_v both_o in_o the_o court_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o also_o before_o the_o whole_a world_n we_o shall_v observe_v this_o method_n in_o our_o brief_a handle_n of_o it_o 1._o to_o show_v you_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o from_o scripture_n 2._o to_o give_v you_o the_o property_n of_o this_o discharge_n that_o be_v give_v out_o by_o god_n to_o believer_n 3._o the_o ground_n upon_o which_o god_n

scripture_n clear_v this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n they_o be_v absolve_v they_o be_v discharge_v by_o god_n believer_n be_v so_o but_o as_o for_o all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o their_o sin_n they_o be_v under_o the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n it_o hang_v over_o they_o and_o it_o follow_v they_o wherever_o they_o go_v john_n 3.18_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o be_v not_o condemn_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o real_o condemn_v he_o have_v the_o sentence_n real_o denounce_v against_o he_o he_o be_v real_o declare_v a_o dead_a man_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o law_n as_o we_o say_v when_o the_o judge_n have_v denounce_v sentence_n of_o death_n against_o a_o malefactor_n he_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n so_o every_o one_o in_o his_o sin_n be_v a_o dead_a man_n he_o be_v condemn_v already_o there_o be_v indeed_o this_o difference_n between_o he_o and_o one_o that_o be_v in_o hell_n he_o that_o be_v in_o hell_n be_v condemn_v and_o execute_v but_o the_o sinner_n upon_o earth_n be_v condemn_v and_o not_o execute_v the_o sinner_n in_o hell_n be_v condemn_v and_o execute_v and_o there_o

probability_n that_o if_o he_o will_v bestir_v himself_o the_o sentence_n may_v be_v remove_v the_o patience_n of_o god_n be_v exercise_v and_o it_o be_v draw_v out_o into_o a_o great_a length_n and_o it_o be_v to_o lead_v the_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n rom._n 2.4_o or_o despise_v thou_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o forbearance_n and_o long-suffering_a not_o know_v that_o the_o

of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o pardon_n that_o be_v tender_v and_o a_o way_n discover_v whereby_o the_o sinner_n may_v come_v to_o get_v free_a from_o the_o doom_n that_o be_v upon_o he_o but_o the_o

the_o absolution_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v as_o real_a as_o his_o sin_v be_v real_a as_o his_o condemnation_n be_v real_a he_o be_v real_o a_o sinner_n and_o he_o be_v real_o condemn_v on_o the_o
