The fourth point is, who are partakers of this Redemption? §15Ans. They which see, and feel, and bewail their condition that they are under the law, and fly from the sentence thereof to the throne of grace for mercy. Christ came to save sinners, Matth. 9. that is, such as are convicted by the law, and know §20themselves to be sinners. He offers ease to them that travel and are heavy laden, Matth. 11. 28. He preacheth deliverance to captives, Luk. 4. 18. Here we are to bewail the misery of our people, that know not themselves to be under the law: nay they love and delight to be under it. For they allege for §25themselves, that they say their prayers duly and truly, that they mean well to God-ward, and deal truly with men: and therefore they think God will have mercy on them, and have them excused for all their offences.
