And thus having renewed our repentance, we must also renew our faith, by applying unto our selves all the gracious promises of the Gospel, concerning life and salvation in Christ Jesus, made unto all repentant sinners; and by calling to our remembrance that Christ the just hath borne the punishment due unto us who were unjust; that with his death and merits he hath fully satisfied Gods justice, appeased his wrath, and washed away our sins with his blood; that he hath fulfilled the law for us, and taken upon him our curse, that we in him might be blessed; that by suffering for us, he hath freed us from all punishments of this life and the life ⟨p. 642⟩to come, that he ever liveth to make intercession for us; so that though we sin, yet there is no fear of condemnation, seeing we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the just, 1who is the reconciliation for our sins, 1. Joh. 2.1, 2.
