12. It maketh sin, and the first Adam more and greater for condemnation, 1then Christ for salvation. Now the Apostle, Rom. 5. makes the opposition, and showeth, that the gift is far above the transgression: Therefore take thy sins in all the aggravations of them, there is not more in them to damn, then in Christ to save. Why should sin be an heavy sin, a great sin, and Christ not also a wonderful saving Christ? When we say, The guilt of sin is infinite, that is, only infinite objectivè; but now Christs merits and obedience are infinite meritoriè: they have from the dignity of the person an infinite worth in them; and therefore, as sin is exceeding sinful, so let Christ be an exceeding Christ, and grace exceeding grace.
