Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

Ninthly, Christ is our Sanctification in this respect, because all the promises of the Gospel are made to us in him he is the foundation of all the promises that are in the Gospel, they are all made good in him, they have a boundance of sanctifying power in them, Christ is our sanctification, I say, because it is through him that the promises are made, which hath a mighty sanctifying power. As for the First? In 2. Cor. 1.20. For all the promises ⟨p. 321⟩of God in him are yea, and in him Amen unto the glory of God by us. Al the promises of God in him are yea & in him amen: all Gospel promises are made unto us by christ & that is a very useful & a notable meditation, to consider of all promises that they come unto us from Christ, an excellent meditation to set out the excellency of Jesus Christ that in him are all the promises, they are in him yea, what is the meaning of that? That is they are confirmed to us in Christ, in him they are made certain to us, they are made good in him, or as some of your books read it thus, For all the promises of God in him are yea, and I find it is, I know not whether it be in your books, but Calvin, Beza, and other interpreters say, it is read in some copies thus, Therefore in him let them be yea and Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Al the promises of God in him are yea, that is, they are made certain things in Christ as the foundation, therefore [Greek or Hebrew]; so Beza saith it is read, therefore, let them be Amen in him unto the praise of God. That is, as God hath made all promises in him as certain, so let us look upon Christ, and see the promises of God in him, and believe in them, and so by our faith say Amen unto the promises that are made in him unto the glory of God, so shall we Glorify God, when we shall look upon the promises by our faith, and say, Amen unto our souls. Now the word, Amen signifies firm and sure, that is, the meaning of the word Amen. Sometimes it signifies at the end of our prayer, so be it, Amen, it is an Hebrew word that signifies, so be it, let it be, O Lord, as we have prayed, and according to thy promise, that is the meaning of the word Amen, when you conclude your prayer with Amen.

Ninthly, Christ is our Sanctification in this respect, becaus al the promises of the Gospel are made to us in him he is the foundation of al the promises that are in the Gospel, they are al made good in him, they have a boundance of sanctifying power in them, Christ is our sanctification, I say, because it is through him that the promises are made, which hath a mighty sanctifying power.
