HE that will know whether I rightly cite Dr. Crispe, must read his own Books, especially, Lib. 2.Serm. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.15. and Vol. 1. Serm. 9, 10, 11. He is so large, that I must give you but a Taste of his Doctrine, in his own Words.

Thou art not an Adulterer, thou art not a sinful Person, (Why did Christ then justify the confessing Publican?) Reckon what Sin soever you commit, when you have part in Christ, you ARE ALL that Christ was, Christ is ALL that you were,
