There is no other name, no other nature, no other blood, no other merits, no other person to be justified and saved by but Jesus Christ; 1you may run from Creature to Creature, and from duty to duty, and from Ordinance to Ordinance; and when you have wearied and tired out your selves in seeking ease and rest, satisfaction and remission, justification and salvation, in one way and another, you will be forced after all to come to Christ, and to cry out, Ah! none but Christ, none but Christ. Ah! none to Christ, none to Christ, no works to Christ, no duties, no services to Christ, no prayers, no tears to Christ, no righteousness, no holiness to Christ. Well friends, remember this, that all the tears in the world cannot wipe off (meritoriously) one sin nor all the grace and holiness that is in Angels and men, buy out the pardon of the least transgression. All remission is only by ⟨p. 246⟩the blood of Christ.
