Had Christ a peculiar and special love in his prayer and death for some only, then here we see what is the Thesaurus Ecclesiae, not any Popish Indulgences or imagined heaps of superfluous merits, but even the death of Christ, that and that only doth enrich, comfort, and make happy all the ⟨p. 245⟩people of God: If therefore thou art one who canst upon true grounds gather thou hast a propriety in Christs death, thou art not to be afraid, neither living or dying what man or devils shall do unto thee, Rom 8. The Foundation of all justification, sanctification, and glorification is upon this, Christ died, Who shall condemn? It is Christ that died; Therefore there cannot be any accusation or condemnation because Christ died; Therefore the main Question is, What Evidences thou hast for an Interest in Christs Death, for if that be once granted, unspeakable and innumerable are the privileges that belong to thee; Therefore encourage and strengthen thy heart with the comfortable fruits of Christs Death; Let us consider whether thou hast the qualifications of such to whom Christs death is made profitable and advantageous.
