1. 7 9. and sundry other places As are we bound to perform perfect obedience to the Law Christ performed it for us Were we for disobedience subject to the sentence of condemnation the curse of the Law and death of body and soul He was condemned for us and bore the curse of the Law he died in our stead an ignominious death Did we deserve the anger of God hee indured his Fathers wrathful displeasure that so he might reconcile us to hi● Father and set us at liberty He that deserved no sorrow felt much that we who deserved much might feel none And by his wounds we are healed Isa. 53. 5. Adam eat the Apple Christ paid the price I● a word whatsoever w● owed Christ discharged whatsoever we deserved he suffered if not in the sel● same punishments for he being God could not suffer the eternal torment● of Hell yet in proportion the dignity of his Person he being God and man giving value unto his temporary punishments and making them of more value and worth then if all the world should have suffered the eternall torments of Hell For it is more for one that is eternall to dye then for others to dye eternally Therefore was the Son of God made the Son of man that the Sons of men might be made the Sons of God and therefore was he both God and man lest being in every respect God he had been too great to suffer for man or being in every respect man he had been to weak to satisfie God And so much for explication of the Third Principle mentioned in the beginning Sect. XX But now coms the hardest part of my work to be performed For admit the Natural man be convinced of the truth of these three fundamentall principles never so clearly yet he will draw such a conclusion from the premisses that he will be never the better for what bath been told him yea he will decoct all even the mercy and goodness of God into poyson For what wil such a one suggest to himself the Divell helping forward Let it be granted will he say that I were every way wretched and miserable a great sinner both originally and actually and likewise liable to all the plagues of this life and of that to come yet I thank God I am well enough so long as Christ hath p●y'd my ransom freed me from all by a new Covenant the tenu●e whereof is Believe and live whereas at first it was do this and live to which I answer In Covenants and indentures between party and party there are always articles and conditions to be performed on the one side aswell as promises to be fulfilled on the other as saith Pareus Now as God hath covenanted bound himself by his word and Seal to remit thee thy sins adopt thee his child by regeneration and give thee the kingdome of Heaven everlasting life by for his Son's sake so Christ hath for on thy behalf undertaken yea thou thy self didst for thy part bind thy self by covenant promise and vow in thy baptism that thou wouldest forsake the Devil and all his works constantly believ Gods holy Word obediently keep his Commandements the better thereby to express thy thankfulness towards him for so great a benefit 1 Pet. 3. 21. Psa. 116. 12 13 14 And we know that in Covenants and Indentures if the Conditions be not kept the Obligation is not in force Whereby millions Magus like after the water of Baptisme which is a seal of the Covenant of Grace go to the fire of Hell Yea except we repent and believe the Gospell threats and precepts aswell as promises that holy sacrament together with the offer of grace instead of Sealing to us our salvation will be an obligation vnder our own hand and seal against us and so prove a seal of our greater condemnation Therefore the mayn question is Whether thou art a Believer For although Christ in the Gospel hath made many large precious promises there are none so generall which are not limited with the condition of faith and the fruit thereof unfained repentance and each of them are so tyed and entayled that none can lay claim to them but true believers which repent and turn from all their sins to serve him in holiness without which no man shall see the Lord Heb. 12. 14. Isa. 39. 20. As for instance Our Savior hath made publick proclamation Mark 16. 16. That whosoever shall believe and be baptized shall be saved but mark what withal is added he that will not believe shall be damned Again So God loved the world that be gave his onely begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life Joh. 3. 15 16. And that none may deceive themselvs he addeth He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the onely begotten Son of God And this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather then light Joh. 3. 19 20. And again As many as received him to them he gave power to become the sons of God even to them that believe on his name Joh. 1. 12. Again Hec● 5. 9. He is said to be the author of eternal salvation unto all that obey him not unto them which continue in their rebellious wickednesse and never submit themselvs to be ruled by the scepter of his Word Christ's blood saith Z●●c●ie was shed as well for ablution as for absolution as well to cleanse from the s●il and filth of sin as to clear and assoil from the guilt of sin Rom 6. 5 6. God bath chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love Ephes. 1. 4. They therefore that never come to be holy were never chosen He is said to have given himself for us that he might re●eem us from all iniquity and purge us to be a peculiar people unto himself zealous of good works Titus 2. 14. Luke 1. 74 75. Yea the Lord binds it with an ●ath that whomsoever he redeemeth out of the hands of their spiritual enemies they shall worship him in holinesse and righteousnesse all the daies of their life Luk. 1. 73 74 75. 1 Pet. 2. 24. and Titus 2. The grace of God which bringeth salvation teacheth us that we should deny ungodlinesse and worldly lusts an● that we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world vers. 12. By all which it is plain that as Christ's blood is a Charter of pardon so withall it is a covenant of direction and hee that refuseth to live as that covenant prescribes may perish as a malefactor that is hanged with his pardon about his neck Sect. XXI But alas say what can be said carnall men who love their sins better then their souls will answer all yea confute whatever can be alleaged with God
