2. He is the sole Saviour. Act. 4. There is no other Name under heaven by 1which we can be saved. It's high presumption to add other Saviours and Mediators to him under any distinction whatsoever, so that we must go to him alone. And truly this is a very hard duty, witness all that Pharisaical and Justiciary righteousness which is in the world. How unwilling are men to renounce all their own righteousness, to trust in him alone, to rest upon him only?

- 12. He is the sole Saviour.
3. He is a full and sufficient Saviour; there is no defect or fault in him, he 1cannot say, he hath not salvation enough; yes he hath enough for thee, and every godly man else. Hence he is called [Greek or Hebrew], and [Greek or Hebrew], by Simeon, Salvation in the very abstract, as having all the fullness of it in him. Hence he is said to be able to save to the uttermost, Heb. 7. 25. Oh let this vanquish all thy fears and dejections, saying, Can Christ save some sinners indeed, but not so heinous a wretch as thou judgest thy self to be?
