P. Did you ever hear us deny any of this? Why talk you of that which we are all agreed in? But 1. It is not holiness, but the faulty imperfections of it, and the sin that is contrary to it, which deserveth Hell. 2. And the faults of sincere believers deserve not Hell according to the Law of Grace, by which we are to be judged, so as to be liable to it, but only so as to be accounted condemnable, had we not been pardoned.

It is not holiness, but the faulty imperfections of it, and the sin that is contrary to it, which deserveth Hell. 2. And the faults of sincere believers deserve not Hell according to the Law of Grace, by which we are to be judged, so as to be lyable to it, but only so as to be accounted condemnable, had we not been pardoned.
Lib. But if our faith and holiness deserve some praise, what's that to the deserving of salvation? or being worthy of Heaven?
P. All these words your obstinacy hath put me to use, to convince you that Faith and Holiness is worthy of any thing at all, and that the word [Worthy] which God himself useth of them, is not abused by God, nor false. But what it is that God will account the righteous worthy of, the Scripture must determine; where I have showed you before that the words are plain. They are counted worthy of God, 1 Thess. 2. 12. and of his Kingdom, 2 Thess. 1. 5. Worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection, Luke 20. 35. They shall walk with Christ in white, for they are worthy.
