3. It is apparent that God is satisfied with Christ's Blood for our Sins, because he hath declared, that he can justify those that believe in, or rely upon that Blood for Life, in a way of Justice and Righteousness. Being justified freely by his Grace through the Redemption that is in Jesus Christ; whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through faith in his Blood, to declare his Righteousness for the Remission of sins, that are past through the forbearance of God. To declare, I say, at this time his Righteousness, that he might be just, and ⟨p. 94⟩the Justifier of him that believeth in Jesus, Rom. 3. 24, 25, 26.

Now, I say, to object against such plain Testimonies, what is it, but
1. To deny that Christ died for Sin; or to conclude, 2. That having so done, he is still in the Grave: Or, 3. That there is no such thing as Sin: Or, 4. No such thing as Revenging Justice in God against it: Or, 5. That we must die our selves for our Sins: Or, 6. That sin may be pardoned without a satisfaction: Or, 7. That every man may merit his own Salvation.
