As all the Saints have received more good things then they want,1 so also undoubtedly are they freed from more evils then justly they can fear to fall upon them. For believing in Christ, they are freed from the fear of hell, from the curse of the Law, from the wrath of God, from the sting of death, from the victory of the grave, from the power of him that hath the power of death, the devil; from the guilt and punishment of sin, from the rule and dominion of sin, and from infinitely more, both spiritual, and bodily evils.
