Of the Rest that a Believer hath by Christ from the Guilt of Sin, laid out in ten Particulars. 1. Christ takes upon himself all the sin of them that come to him, and stands charged with them before his Father. 2. He Satisfieth for Sin. 3. The wrath of God is appeased. 4. He is continually at the right hand of his Father to intercede for Sinners that come to him. 5. Their Souls are sprinkled with the Blood of Christ. 6. The Soul at the first coming to Christ, is made perfectly righteous before God. 7. Christ not only undertakes for all the Sins past, but also for Sins to come. 8. Guilt shall never return, when it is once taken off. 9. The Soul at its first coming to Christ is clothed with the Righteousness of Christ. 10. Such are sure that the day of judgment shall be the Solemnity of their absolution.

Now we are but beginning the great point of all, the Rest of the Soul in Christ what it is, and in this I shall take the Method that I followed in the opening of the Burdens of Laden Sinners, that were heavy Laden. I spake of five loads that were upon sinners that Christ calls to him, that they might come to him for Rest; now answerable to those five shall we speak of the Rest that is to be had in Christ.
