3Those that find their consciences pacified, by the obedience and sacrifice of Christ; they justify him to be their Priest: for they can oppose the blood of Christ sprinkled on their hearts, to all the temptations of Satan, and to the risings of their own doubting conscience; their hearts being sprinkled with the blood of Christ, they can go to God, and the blood of Christ speaks for them, Peace; it pleads, Mercy, Mercy ▪ Thus we justify Christ as a Priest, when we rest in his Sacrifice, and do not with Papists run to other Sacrifices; this is, not to justify Christ: To justify Christ, God-man, is to make him a perfect Mediator of intercession, and redemption; to make him all in all. They do not justify Christ, that think God was made man, to patch up a salvation; that he must do a part, and we must merit the rest: oh no; take heed of that; account all our obedience, and all that is from us, as menstruous clothes, not able to stand with the Justice of God.

They doe not justifie Christ, that thinke God was made man, to patch up a salvation; that he must doe a part, and we must merit the rest: oh no; take heed of that; account all our obedience, and all that is from us, as menstruous clothes, not able to stand with the Justice of God.
