3. As you would avoid Hell, avoid all those Doctrines that would lift up self-righteousness, and debase the righteousness of Christ. I fear I shall never be in that capacity that I would, to stand you in stead in this particular. I confess I am against forty things in Popery, but my whole soul is here engaged: if that Doctrine be a truth, I never expect salvation by God: either I must be saved by Christ alone, or else I must not be saved by Christ at all: though Christ will never save me without sanctification, yet Christ never intended my sanctification should merit his salvation. Be as holy as you can, as if there were no Gospel to save; yet when you are as holy as you can, you must believe in Christ, as if there were no Law at all to condemn you. Come and tell me of the Merit of Saints, &c. I will believe that truth, when I believe the Whore of Babylon to be Christs Spouse. See Phil. 3. 9. 2 Cor. 5. 21.
