And Rom. 8.33. Who shall condemn? it is God that justifieth, seemeth to me more than barely to say, God absolveth us from the Curse, because it is set against Man's Condemnation, (who reproached, slandered and persecuted the Christians as evil Doers, as they did Christ, to whom they were predestinated to be conformed).
