But all those in this life are imperfect, ⟨p. 14⟩because there is only an union of Grace here till we come to the union of Glory in Heaven, and then at the day of judgement there will be a perfect justifying of us, we shall not only be acquitted in our conscience, as we are now, but we shall be acquitted before Angels and Devils and Men, and Christ will acknowledge us: these are they for whom I dyed, these are they for whom I made intercession in Heaven, we shall be acquitted there, and there we shall be acknowledged:
But all those in this life are imperfect, ⟨p. 14⟩because there is only an union of Grace here till wee come to the union of Glory in Heaven, and then at the day of judgement there will bee a perfect justifying of us, wee shall not only be acquitted in our conscience, as we are now, but wee shall bee acquitted before Angels and Divels and Men, and Christ will acknowledge us: these are they for whom I dyed, these are they for whom I made intercession in Heaven, we shall be acquitted there, and there wee shall be acknowledged:
And then the life of sanctification, that is now in part, shall then be perfect, and likewise the peace that now passeth understanding, shall then be full, and our joy shall be full by Christ who is our life:

So then we see we have in Christ the second Adam, whatsoever we lost in the first root. Whence did we draw sin, and misery? by union with the first Adam, we have damnation, we have the wrath of God, we have corruption opposite to sanctification, we have terrors, and horror of conscience. By the second Adam and union with him we have a spring of life, and peace, and all that we lost in Adam, and more then all we lost, he being God-man. The sin of the first Adam was the sin of a man: the obedience of the second Adam, was the obedience of God-man, which raiseth us to life everlasting.
