Secondly, As Satan, so every sin, of the coming-sinner, comes in with a Voice against him, if perhaps they may prevail with Christ to cast off the Soul. When Israel was coming out of Egypt to Canaan, how many times had their sins thrown them out of the mercy of God, had not Moses as a Type of Christ, stood in the breach to turn away his Wrath from them, Psal. 106. 23. our Iniquities testify against us, and would certainly prevail against us, to our utter rejection and Damnation, had we not an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the Righteous, 1 Joh. 2. 1, 2.

The sins of the old World cried them down to Hell, the sins of Sodom fetched upon them Fire from Heaven, which devoured them; the sins of the Egyptians cried them down to Hell, because they came not to Jesus Christ for Life.

Why thou art coming to Jesus Christ, and therefore sin shall not be thy ruin.
