The life of faith in three parts, the first is a sermon on Heb.…

As our Teacher, and the Prophet, or Angel of the Covenant, he doth declare it as the Fathers will, and promulgate and ⟨p. 309⟩proclaim this Covenant and conditional Pardon and Justification to the world; and send out his Ambassadors with it to beseech men in his Name to be reconciled to God, and to declare, yea and by sacramental investiture, to seal and deliver a Pardon and actual Justification to Believers when they consent.

As our Teacher, and the Prophet, or Angel of the Covenant, he doth declare it as the Fathers will, and promulgate and ⟨p. 309⟩proclaim this Covenant and conditional Pardon and Justification to the world; and send out his Embassadours with it to beseech men in his Name to be reconciled to God, and to declare, yea and by sacramental investiture, to seal and deliver a Pardon and actual Justification to Believers when they consent.

And as our Mediating High Priest now in the Heavens, he presenteth our necessity, and his own righteousnesses and sacrifice as his merit•, for the continual communication of all this grace, by himself, as the Head of the Church, and Administrator of the Covenant.

So that Christ doth justify us both as a subject meriting, as a sacrifice meriting, as a Priest offering that sacrifice; as a King actually making the Justifying Law, or enacting a general Pardon; as a King sententially and executively justifying; as a Prophet or Angel of the Covenant promulgating it; as King, and Prophet, and Priest, delivering a sealed Pardon by his Messengers: And as the Priest, Head and Administrator communicating this with the rest of his benefits. By which you may see in what respects Christ must be believed in to Justification, if Justifying Faith were (as it is not) only the receiving him as our Justifier: It would not be the receiving him as in one part of his office only.
