Before I conclude this particular of the extent of Christs Merit and Propitiation, I thought good to inform the Reader, that as the Propitiation of Christ maketh no man absolutely, but upon certain terms pardonable and savable; so it was never made, either to prevent all sin, or all punishments: For it presupposeth man both sinful and miserable: And we know that the Guilt and Punishment of Adams sin, lieth heavy on all his posterity to this day. And not only that, but the guilt of actual and personal sins lieth wholly upon us, whilst impenitent and unbelieving and so out of Christ. And the Regenerate themselves are not fully freed from all punishments till the final Resurrection and Judgment. So that his Propitiation doth not altogether prevent but remove sin and punishment by degrees. Many sins may be said to be Remissible by virtue of this Sacrifice, which never shall be remitted.] So far Mr. Lawson.
