so Christ taking upon him our nature by imputation, he made sin lose its claim which it would make to the soul in this case, he that breaketh the Law of God is guilty, and shall be condemned by it: but this man hath broken the Law of God, and therefore is guilty of condemnation thereby: Now Christ takes off these, and saith, It is true, he is guilty of sin, and worthy of condemnation, unless another be contented to be guilty for him, but I have undertaken the guilt for him, and have paid the debt for him; and therefore this soul is free from sin, thou hast nothing to do with this soul, neither shalt thou condemn him. Observe it, when all your sins shall muster in upon you, and come from East to West, saying, thou art guilty of pride, guilty of malice, &c. and shalt be condemned for them; make answer and say it is true, Lord, I am so, but Christ hath taken away the guilt and condemnation, and I have repented of my sins: therefore, sin, thou hast nothing to do with this soul of mine, Christ hath taken it and redeemed it, and therefore I leave it with him: This is the first conclusion.
