Use 2 Oh beloved what a blessed condition it is, to have this spiritual liberty,1 do but see the blessed use, and comfort of it, in all conditions; for if a man hath the Spirit of God, to set him at Spiritual liberty in all temptations, either to sin, he hath the Spirit of God to free him from temptation; or if temptation catch hold on him for sin, he hath the Spirit of God to fly too, the blood of Christ, to show that if he confess his sins, and lay hold on Christ, he hath pardon of sin, and the blood of Christ speaks better things, than the blood of Abel, it speaks mercy ⟨p. 170⟩and peace, if he by faith sprinkle it upon his soul, if he know the liberty of justification, and make use of it; what a blessed liberty is this, when we have sinned?
