Tichborne, Robert, Sir, d. 1682.	1649 (1649)	Wing T1151; Thomason E544_2; ESTC R203790	133,030	166

God his Word is a Law where hee blesseth none can hinder blessing all things are at his command they were so in their first being and they have their being to be what he will have them there is nothing hard or impossible with God so our Saviour telleth his Disciples in the 19. Matthew 26. But Jesus beheld them and said unto them Mat. 19.26 with men this is impossible but with God all things are possible It is a full Scripture to what I bring it the omnipotency of God al things are possible to him it is not possible that any thing should be impossible to the almighty omnipotent God When the Angell in the 1. Luke 36. Luke 1.36 37. brings tydings to the Virgin Mary of her cozen Elizabeth being with Childe in her old age and that it was then the sixth moneth with her giveth this for the reason in the 3● verse For with God nothing shall be impossible That is to say God is Omnipotent Almighty nothing can be hard to him he doth what he will doe nothing is impossible to him nor can any thing hinder what hee will have done In the 11. Numbers 21. Num. 11.21 23. Moses questions with God about making good his word to give flesh to all the people the footmen amongst them being six hundred thousand in the 23. verse God answere Moses And the Lord said unto Moses is the Lords hand waxed short As if the Lord had said this I have spoken seemes impossible to thee but I will doe it my selfe I will make it good and I am the Almighty omnipotent God thinke you that my hand waxeth short no it is an omnipotent almighty hand for I am such a God can the Lords hand waxe short can alsufficiency almightinesse and omnipotency be lessened no it cannot and the Apostle Paul blesseth God upon this very consideration in the 3. Ephes Ephe. 3.20 21. 20. Now unto him that is able to doe exceeding abundantly above all that we can aske or thinke unto him be glory 21. verse that is the Apostle glories in God as an an omnipotent God hee is able to doe exceeding abundantly above all that we can aske or thinke the vastnesse of our thoughts or wants are too short to measure out the omnipotency of God he is exceedingly more then wee can aske want or thinke for he is Almighty to him be glory whom is thus glorious almighty alsufficient and omnipotent God this is the glory of God for God is onely this and none but God This all this and infinitely more then this is God in himselfe and such souls as be established by beleeving in God as their God doe beleeve God to be this in himselfe But I shall mention some few Attributes more of God in which he makes himselfe more visably knowne to his people As first God is a God of free grace we may call our God the gracious God or the God of mercy and grace wee may safely looke upon God thus for God lookes upon us in his free grace witnesse his Covenant of free grace Jer. 31.31 so forward God doth there ingage himselfe to put his Law in our inward parts and to write it in the bearts of his people that hee will be our God and that wee shall be his people that his people shall all know him from the least to the greatest of them that he will forgive all our iniquity and remember our sinne no more God in this Covenant doth clearely speake himselfe to be a God of free grace for the Covenant is all grace it is pardoning and purging grace justifying and sanctifying grace and as it is all grace so it in all God for God onely ingageth himselfe and this makes it to be all free grace As God is gracious in his Covenant that it is a Covenant of free grace so he is in his workes to his people they are all workes of grace and he is a God of free grace in all As in his first worke of choosing and electing his people 1. Ephes beginning Ephes beginning Chosen and predestinated us in Christ unto the adoption of children according to the good pleasure of his will To the praise of the glory of his grace God is free hee chooseth according to his owne will and that any are chosen and predestinated in Christ it is the glorious workings of his free grace he chooseth according to his owne good pleasure and to the glory of his grace God is ingaged to none he is free in his choice nay all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and therefore wh●● ever God chooseth he taketh into grace for it is free grace tha● chooseth it is onely of grace saith the Apostle that I am what I am as I am an electe vessell that is of grace God hath chosen 〈◊〉 in Christ to the glory of his grace so that God in his electing worke is a God of free grace Secondly in his worke of Salvation he is altogether 2 God of free grace 2. Ephes 4 5. But God who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith bee loved us even when we were dead in sinnes hath quickned us together with Christ by grace ye are saved The Apostle here telleth us positively that salvation is the worke of grace I and proveth it for sayes he God who is rich in mercy loved 〈◊〉 even when wee were dead in sinnes and hath quickened us together with Christ so that it must needs be by grace that we are saved i● can be nothing but free grace in a holy God that can love soules dead in sinne and the salvation and quickening of such soules in Christ must needes be the work of his rich love and free grace so in the 8. verse For by grace are ye saved through faith though faith be the hand to receive the salvation of God yet it is free gr●● in God that giveth this salvation free grace giveth both salvation and the hand to receive it withall all the workes of God to poore sinners is the workings of his free grace the whole work of Salvation and redemption in God must needs be the workings of his grace both by reason of the subject and the time he saves sinners the worst of sinners and then even when we are dead in sinnes and trespasses Ephes 2.1 This rich love of God breakes forth to us even when we lye in our blood and no eye to pitty us what but free grace would choose such a subject to pitch eternall unchangable love upon and such a time when no eye b●sides could so much as pitty the reason is plaine none hath an eye of free grace but God and no other eye besides that could pitty and pardon poore sinners when they lye in their blood in their filth and pollution of sinne now for soules to bee justified and acquitted of all polution in the eyes of a holy pure God what can this be but free grace Rom.

is all in the whole worke of salvation this truth will be made more cleare in proving the parts of this great worke the salvation of GODS free-grace But now consider that God layes this worke the salvation of his free-grace sure in the full satisfaction of his owne divine justice that so the saved of his grace might stand spotlesse before him to all eternity And herein is the mistery of salvation that Gods justice is fully satisfied and yet that his grace in saving his people should be perfectly free but both these doth plainly appeare in the salvation of God to his people the work of his free grace Now the way of grace in God to satisfie Divine justice to the full and yet to keepe it selfe entire free grace to all that are saved is this Namely to chuse out appoint and to send Christ in the flesh God-man to satisfie the Divine justice of God for man in whom the wisedome of God giveth full satisfaction to his owne Justice and perfect salvation to his people all of free grace In this glorious mistery free grace in God is the fountaine full satisfaction to Divine Justice the way but perfect salvation and rdemption to all his elect body in Christ the end I shall now come more particularly to the parts of this great worke of God the salvation of his owne free grace And first of Gods electing grace That it is free grace in God which elects to salvation that I shall first prove by the subjects of Gods salvation which is fallen sinners Ephes 2.1 Dead in trespasses and sinnes A lump of finners dead in trespasses and sinnes hath God to choose out as subjects for his love vessels of honour and heirs of glory If grace in God make not the choise surely the whole lump of fallen sinners would be left to remaine dead in sinnes and trespasses but the Apostle in Rom. 9.18 23. telleth us that God hath mercy on whom he will have mercy That is God is full of mercy but he is free in it his mercy lyes in his owne will he chooseth his own vessels of mercy That he might make knowne the riches of his owne glory He chooseth where he pleaseth that it might appeare he chooseth according to his owne will and pleasure that is that all his mercy and grace is free and that the first worke or part of the worke of salvation his Election is of and from his owne free grace So Ephes 1.4 5. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him Having predestinated us unto the adoption of Children by Jesus Christ to himselfe according to the good pleasure of his will That is God chooseth from all eternity such as he wil make his children and heirs of glory by Christ and this hee doth according to the good pleasure of his own will all fell alike in the first Adam nothing in one more then in another to move God to love for all were dead in sinnes but the whole work in God is the worke of his grace it is all begun and finished according to the good pleasure of his owne will all is the worke of his free grace But secondly whom God thus chooseth by his grace he chooseth in Christ Ephes 1.4 According as hee hath choosen us in him that is in Christ so that all along grace is free in God and the whole worke of salvation only of his free grace Rom. 5.15 What ever is in Christ is the gift of grace so that Christ being the way by which God workes satisfaction to his own justice and salvation to his people it is all of grace the reign of life in Saints by Christ is the reigne of grace in God to Saints through Christ vers 17. Shall reigne in life by one Christ God in Christ doth reigne over soules in righteousnesse as the God of life and salvation it is God in Christ a God of free grace But in the carrying on this worke of Gods grace in the salvation of his people through Christ it is needfull that Christ take flesh according to that promise in Gen. 3.15 The seede of the woman shall bruise the head of the Serpent And this is accomplished in the fulnesse of Gods time Isa 9.6 For unto us a childe is born unto us a sonne is given The childe which is borne is the sonne which is given Christ in the flesh the sonne of God is the gift of his free grace this child Jesus is the gift of Gods grace 〈◊〉 Covenant of the people for a light of the Gentiles To open the blinde eyes to bring the prisoners from the prison and them that fit in darknesse out of the prison-house Isa 42.6 7. So that as grace giveth him so his worke in the flesh is that worke of grace in all the parts of it Thus farre we have Saints in Christ and Christ in the flesh and the free grace of God in all This which followeth will appeare to be as purely grace in God as what hath gone before though now God comes to have actuall and full satisfaction to his justice Now the elect are in Christ and Christ for us in the flesh now the holy law and Divine Justice of God comes for fulfilling and satisfaction But to whom why to Christ so that when justice is fully satisfied yet that the whole of salvation might be a work of Gods free-grace Quest But why should Justice come to Christ for satisfaction had he sinned Answ I answer no but in the great designe of Gods grace to redeeme his people in Christ Christ was willingly made sinne for us and tooke our nature that hee might stand before Gods Justice in our roome as the sinner The holy Ghost cleares this truth in that 2 Cor. 5. last For hee hath made him to be sinne for us who knew no sinne The verse before cleares up this hee in the Text to be meant of God Be yee reconciled to God for hee hath made him sinne and this him in the Text must needes be meant of Christ for it is said of this him that he knew no sinne that is he had no sin of his owne he was that spotlesse lamb without sinne so was never any in flesh since the fall from innocency but Christ so that the Scripture is plaine That God made Christ is be sinne for his elect body that is not to be guilty of any finne in himselfe but to be the surety the debtor and paymaster to the justice of God for all the sins past present to come of all his elect body so that divine justice goes only to Christ for satisfaction and in Christ divine justice hath full satisfaction so that justice and grace in God are both pure in the salvation of sinners through Christ that is thus made sin for us Here wee have Christ made both sinne and flesh by God and now in the flesh wee shall sinde

Christ making full satisfaction to the justice of God for all those whom he is made sinne for as Christ came in the flesh to take up the debt of sinne for his people and to lye under the wages of sinne which is death so in the flesh and in his death hee giveth such full satisfaction to Almighty God that God doth acknowledge himselfe fully pleased in the travell of his soule Isa 53.11 Hee shall see of the travell of his soule and shall be satisfied That is God doth behold that satisfaction which Christ hath made to his justice for the sinnes of his people and in it doth acknowledge himselfe fully satisfied and for ever well pleased with his Elect in him that whole Chapter is a proving of Christ in the flesh being made by God an offering for sinne verse 10. to be wounded for the transgression of his people and bruised for our iniquities having the chastisement of our peace put upon him so that by his stripes we are healed it having pleased the Lord to lay on him the iniquities of us all 5 6. verses So that here is not onely Christ in the flesh but Christ made sinne for his people that is hath all the iniquities of his people layd on him by God with all the wounds bruises and chastisements due to them that is all the punishment due to sinne from Gods justice and this Christ undergoeth to the utmost so that by his stripes we are heoled that is by his suffering and satisfaction his Elect are in the justice of God wholy acquitted and discharged for God chose Christ to fatisfie his justice for sinne and having laide the debt with all the weight of it upon him and Christ having discharged this debt to the full Gods justice cannot but discharge it where ever it was due otherwise as one Text speaks Christ had dyed in vaine and the designe of Gods free grace to poore sioners could never be accomplished So the Apostle in the 3. Gal. 13. telleth us that Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law being made a curse for us Christ as our suerty and publique Redeemer tooke sinne with all its weight and curse upon himselfe and what he hath taken from us he hath fully delivered us from so that in his satisfaction he doth fully acquit his elect body the first debtor from the whole debt and danger of sin either in curse or punishment And the Apostle Paul argueth out his tryumph in the 8. Rom. latter end upon this very consideration Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect it is God that justifieth who is bee that condemneth it is Christ that dyed yea rather that is risen againe As if the Apostle had saide God doth justifie his elect body as he is a just God For Christ hath dyed and is risen againe That is Christ is risen as the satisfier of Gods justice in his death for had not Christs death satisfied Gods justice when as the sinnes curse and punishment of sinne for all his Elect body was layd on him he could never have risen again but now his is risen and risen as the justifier of his people and the satisfier of Gods justice Now if any shall charge the Elect of God with what Christ hath borne and satisfied for them Even the justice of God or the just God will acquit them and if God acquit who can condemne and therefore hee glorieth So the same Apostle in the 4. Rom. 25 speaking of Christ as being risen from the dead sayes thus Who was delivered for our offences and was raised againe for our justification That is it was the sinnes of his Elect that crucifyed him and it is the justification of his Elect for whom he dyed that he is risen and as nothing could have crucified him but our sins so now nothing can condemne those for whom he dyed he being risen his resurrection pleades to all justice satisfaction in his death And Christ was therefore delivered up to death for our offences that in his resurrection we might be justified from all offences Gods great aime and designe of grace Run thorough the former to the latter of these Rom. 10.4 the holy Ghost telleth us there That Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnesse to every one that beleeveth As if he had said The beleeving soule shall finde that Christ hath fulfilled and doth fully keepe the whole Law for him and so is an end to it for righteousnesse that is Christ is now the soules righteousnesse not the Law the Law is kept and fulfilled by Christ for a beleever so that it cannot charge any soule in Christ to condemnation but the righteousnesse and justification of the soule in the sight of God is Christ not the Law if any soule could keepe the whole Law in it selfe the Law might have been for righteousnesse to that soule but all having sinned and come short now the Law is an accuser not a justifier but Christ for his people hee fully satisfies and keepes the Law so that Christ is the righteousnesse of his people and an end to the Law for righteousnesse This is a faithfull saying 1 Th● X. 15 and worthy of all acceptation that Christ came into the World to save sinners 1 Tim. 1.15 It was the end of Gods giving Christ and of Christ comming to save sinners from sinne Law death Hell and what ever would destroy them and this end is effected for Christ did not onely dye but is risen did not onely take sin but hath satisfyed for sinne and all this is the worke of grace which appeares in this it is the worke of God in Christ the Apostle Paul doth acknowledge and confirme this truth in Rom. 3.24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ The Apostle here sayes it is redemption through Christ but that doth not hinder our being justified by free grace in God though God workes through Christ yet it is all the worke of his free grace it is through Christ and Christ is through grace there is not any tittle of redemption or justification through selfe it is all through Christ and by grace which is no more but grace working through Christ the great gift of Gods free grace what ever God doth in Christ can no wayes deminish his free grace for Christ is the Mediator or middle person betweene God and Man in whom God magnifies his grace to Man and giveth to his people the riches and greatnesse of his love wherewith he loveth them through him This indeed doth manifest the wisedome and justice of God to redeeme his people through Christ but it no wayes lesseneth the freenesse of his grace nay it makes it more glorious grace for that justice is fully satisfied makes mercy the greater mercy and the justified is nothing in himselfe all this while but a sinner now that God should make Christ his way to satisfie his Divine justice by and to

soule is the life of faith and the effect of faith in the soule is a weaning of it from the World by a gathering of it into God The last benefit of faith in God which I shall mention is this True faith in God doth truly fixe and establish the soules of Beleevere in the redemption of Gods free grace from all our enemies from sinne death Hell Law grave men and Devils none of these can hurt or destroy such soules as lives in the free grace of God by faith free grace it freely pardons finne and so plucks out the sting of death delivers from the jawes of Hell satisfies and fulfils the Law gathers from the grave that which in sowne in corruption and cloathes it with incorruption chains up the power and malice of men and Devils against his people this free grace doth and by faith the soule lives thus on God by which it becomes a fixed and established soule beleeving soules are not like the restlesse waves of the Sea that rowle from shore to shore and soame up their owne mire but they are soules fixed in God and Christ God by faith did answer the Prophets prayer which de●●red to be led to that Rock which was higher then himselfe that is the work of faith it leads the soul to God and Chirst and then it is an established soule it is then built upon 〈◊〉 Rock higher then it selfe so that windes cannot shake it nor 〈◊〉 undermine it as if it had built upon a sandy soundation faith builds upon a Rock and that the Rock of Ages i● 〈◊〉 in the free grace of God the redemption and the righteousnesse of Christ so that neither life nor death nor any thing no not finne shall ever be able to separate such soules from God and Christ and hence it is that soules beleeving thus in God through Christ by his spirit are fixed and established soules the Prophet David in Psal 125.1 gives in testimony to this benefit of faith in the soule he telleth us there They that tr●st in the Lord shall be as mount Zion which cannot be moved but abideth for ever Faith in God fixeth the soule in everlasting safety and keepes it upon a Rock of establishment even when Earth and Heaven is shaking Now I shall gather up what I aime at in all this in reference to my owne soule and others and it is singly this to eye God with a single eye and to rest upon him with a steady undoubting heart by a single eye I meane a single heart fixed upon what God is does and sayes concerning his people and then by faith to apply and appropriate that to our selves resting steadily and undoubtingly upon him assuring our soules that what hee sayes concerning us he will fully make good unto us God cannot lye when he speakes he speakes his heart and what is in his heart to doe no power or powers can hinder his hand from doing such soules then as thus see God and rest upon him are sure to be established so as the counsell of good King Jeboshaphat is worthy to be received by all soules Beleave in the Lord your God so shall you be established Then first give me leave to advise to a serions and constant inquiry after God if establishment in the soule come by believing in God then knowing of God aright is of absolute necessity 〈◊〉 such a believing now soules sleight or inconstant in their inquities after God in what he is doth and saith are very unlikely soules to come to such a knowledge of him as will bring forth beliefe to establishment It was the saying of an established soule in God I know whom I have trusted and doubtlesse there had not been trust to establishment but that knowledge was in the very foundation the argument seemeth to me to runne thus I know God and therefore I have trusted in him and 〈◊〉 I know him I am assured I shall not be deceived by him so that from this knowledge I am established through believing darknesse is the proper wombe of feare there in nothing else foturely begotten there so is light of faith and establishment thi● I say and speake by experience in which I shall appeale to the ●●perience of all Saints that the more any soule truely knows God the more that soule will trust him therefore give mee leave againe to say Be serious and constant in the inquiries after God study him as he is in himselfe in his Christ and our Saviour i● his Covenant of free grace in all his promises and performances in his word and workes in our owne and other Saints experiences of him And this I dare boldly affirme the more God is thus spiritually knowne of his people the more he will be admired loved and trusted by them and such soules the more truly established Secondly This seemes to be suitable advice to be exceeding watchfull over Satan and our owne hearts in all the temptations to or movings of unbeliefe in our soules there is nothing so great a friend to the Kingdome of Satan and so great an eneny to the Kingdome of Gods free grace as unbeliefe is nor can any sinne so certainely destroy the soule as unbeliefe nay all other sinnes without this can never destroy any soule doubtlesse these reasons have weight enough in them to make Christian soules stand upon their guard against this enemy of unbeliefe it is the Generall of the Host of evill it commands all other sinnes and where it enters it comes with great attendants of evils subservant to is selfe unbeliefe is the supreame Agient in the World for the Prince of darknesse in what ever God is distrusted and not believed Satan shall surely be served Faith is that Anchor that keeps the soule close to God if that be plucked up Satan sils the Sailes I meane the heart with the World and so carryes the Vessell where he pleaseth Faith is Gods interest and unbeliefe the Devile interest in the soule and at the last day when Christ shall give the Devill his due I mean his share of men in the world i● will be onely unbelievers for he hath interest in nor can lay claime to none else therefore unbeliefe should be dreaded as the Devils brand that by which he markes his owne distrust God and honour Satan for they cannot be parted he that doth the former cannot avoyd the latter A soule watchfull in this thing i● so for Gods glory its owne peace and eternall saivation for these two can never be parted what preserves the one preserves the other but unbeliefe looseth both consider free grace is the originall the first cause of all Gods promises to and his dealings with his people Now a distrust in these how doth it dishonour God and not onely unestablish but undoe our owne soules therefore no enemy so dangerous as unbeliefe and should with most watchfulnesse be prevented unbeliefe it opposeth Gods ends in his Covenant of free grace and in all his gracious promises

on mee shall your hearts be established Secondly God doth engage himselfe by Covenant to forgive the iniquity of his people and to remember their sins no more Now to beleeve God in this his own Covenant how exceedingly will it establish the soule there is nothing like sinne and iniquity to make an earth-quake and a soule quake If God once brings a soule or a Land to account with him for sinne and iniquity that will make dreadfull shakings indeed so on the contrary where God acquits from sinne and iniquity he makes rest and establishment for it is sinne that is the troubler of Israel but when God in his Covenant of grace shall engage himselfe to pardon and acquit soules from sinne such soules as receives this Covenant of God and believes that he hath and will make it good to them will surely be at rest But this is not all for God Covenants further with his people That he will put his law in our inward parts and write it in our hearts so that he will be our God and that wee shall be his people Now examine it over againe and see what is wanting to make an established soul if God be believed in it and rested upon for the fulfilling of it Here is choosing grace pardoning and purging grace here is justifying and sanctifying grace yea all this is grace free grace the grace of God and God in his free grace engaging himselfe to make all this good to such soules as rest upon him What now can any soule say against trusting in God for all that hee hath covenanted to doe in his owne free grace if the soule say I am not worthy what is that to the free grace of God God doth not move upon any such grounds it may be a good heart may say it is not broken enough why a broken heart is a new heart that which God hath Covenanted to give trust God hee will make good every part and tittle of his owne Covenant that should not hinder faith for it is the effect of faith Seeke not first to make thy heart good and then to trust God but trust in God and he will mend thy heart nay he will give thee a new heart that which thou wouldst give all the World to gaine he will give thee freely if thou trust in him he will not onely establish thy heart but sanctifie it also Now hence I dare be bold to affirme to any soule if it believe i● God and his Covenant of grace it shall be established finne shall not shake it for God hath acquitted such soules of that and cast all the sinnes of Believers out of his remembrance God hath done this great worke in his owne grace and neither can nor will ever undoe it Corruption shall not be able to unestablish a soule that believes on God in his Covenant of grace for such soules goe to God and spread their corrupt hearts before him and pleading his owne Covenant with him for new hearts and that he would renue right spirits within them Believing soules are fixed upon a rocke that is higher then themselves so that nothing in selfe can reach them and what ever is in God doth establish them such souls see God to be rich in mercy full of grace pardming iniquity transgression and sins for his owne Names sake Thus are soules established by believing in the Lord their God Againe Believe God in Christ our Saviour himselfe cals for this in John 14.1 You believe in God believe also in me That is believe in God through me looke through my wounds and see how he loves you behold the streumings of my blood and see how freely and fully he hath justified you consider your union with me and therein how he hath made you compleatly right ●teous in his owne sight He hath made me to be sin for you who knew no sin that you might be made the righteousnesse of God in me 2 Cor. 5. last Now believe thus in God through me that I have born your sinnes and satisfied his justice to such a perfection that you stand the righteousnesse of God in me Believe in God through me so shall you be established above the feare of sinne or puni●●●ment for you shall see I have borne them both for you Isa 53. I have ●●orne your griefes and carried your sorrowes God hath strucke● smieten afflicted and wounded me for your transgressions he hath bruised me for your iniquities the chastisement of your peace hath hee laid upon me and with my stripes are you healed for the Lard hath laid on me the iniquities of you all God hath made my soule an offering for your sinnes and hath seene the trav●ll of my soule and is satisfied Now if you believe thus in God through me your soules will be satisfied too you will be established as soulee that are fixed in the bosom of God me-thinks Christ sayes here goe with holy boldnesse to the barre of Gods justice and by faith offer up my wounds my stripes and the travell of my soule in full satisfaction for all your sinnes and I dare assure you hee will acquit and write your discharge by his owne spirit in your own b●som●● I begge of you says Christ have not the least doubt of his faithfulnesse or the fulnesse of my satisfaction I have paid the ●●most farthing you may boldly goe to Gods justice believing this there shall not to all eternity be a tittle laid to your charge No sayes he God will be just both to you and me he will n●ver charge you with that which I have paid and be●●●● 〈◊〉 have finished the whole worke of redemption I have 〈…〉 that believe in God through me from the curse of the law being 〈…〉 curse for them In the whole worke of redemption I did the will of my Father in my agony when I sweat drops of bloud and on the Crosse when there issued out from my sides streates of ●●ter and blood I did bear your sinnes for I had none of my own and in all this I have perfected your redemption in the ●●ll satifaction of my Fathers justice so that by believing in God through me you will see Gods Justice fully satisfied for your finnes and your selves wholy acquitted from sinne and made righteous in the righteousnesse of God himselfe and this I am sure will establish your hearts where sinne is discharged and righteousnesse sealed up there all cause of feare and shaking is banish●● and this is by believing in God through me sayes Christ for 〈◊〉 the great designe of Gods free grace my blood hath discharged all your sinnes and I am your righteousnesse I that am the fulnesse of the God-head bodily and you compleat in me perfectly righteous without spot or wrinckle in the pure eyes of God nay sayes Christ had not my blood made a full end of sinne I should have valued it at a higher rate then to have shedd● it as I did had I been but a perfect
