Now, since the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath quickened his body; the soul may make a bold demand to God,1 as it is in 1 Pet. 8. It may make that demand, Rom. 8. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? it is Christ that dyed, nay rather, that is risen again, and ascended into heaven, and makes intercession for us. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods people? it is God that justifieth, who shall condemn? our sins? Christ hath taken our sins upon him, and satisfied divine Justice for them; and by the Spirit of life, hath quickened that dead body of his, that was surety for us himself; we may well say, Who shall lay any thing to our charge? he that is our surety is dead; dead? nay risen again, nay, ascended, and sits at the right hand of God. Therefore now the conscience of any Christian, may make that interrogation, and bold demand there; it may stand out any, that dares to oppose the peace of his conscience now; that he may say, who is it? it is God-man that dyed, it is Christ that dyed in our nature, and hath raised that nature of ours again, and is at the right hand ⟨p. 41⟩of God, who shall lay any thing to our charge? The Spirit of life in Christ, quickening him, hath quickened us together with him; so that now we may boldly demand, we are freed from our sins, because our surety is free from all.
Now, since the Spirit of life in Christ Iesus, hath quickned his body; the soule may make a bold demand to God,1 as it is in 1 Pet. 8. It may make that demand, Rom. 8. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? it is Christ that dyed, nay rather, that is risen againe, and ascended into heaven, and makes intercession for us. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods people? it is God that justifieth, who shall condemne? our sinnes? Christ hath taken our sinnes upon him, and satisfied divine Justice for them; and by the Spirit of life, hath quickned that dead body of his, that was surety for us himselfe; we may well say, Who shall lay any thing to our charge? he that is our surety is dead; dead? nay risen againe, nay, ascended, and sits at the right hand of God. Therefore now the conscience of any Christian, may make that interrogation, and bold demand there; it may stand out any, that dares to oppose the peace of his conscience now; that he may say, who is it? it is God-man that dyed, it is Christ that dyed in our nature, and hath raised that nature of ours againe, and is at the right hand
