Englands duty under the present gospel liberty from Revel. III, vers. 20

If the vilest of sinners stand as fair for pardon and mercy upon their closing with Christ by faith, ¹as the least of sinners do; then certainly the pardon and salvation of sinners is not built upon any righteousness in themselves, but purely and only upon the Free Grace of God in Jesus Christ. Don't think God hath set the Blood of Christ to sale, and that those only are capable of the benefits of it, who have lived the strictest and soberest lives. No, no; though sobriety, morality, and strictness in Religious Duties be things commanded, and commended in the Gospel; yet no Man by these things can purchase a pardon for the least sin, Rom. 11. 6. And if by grace, then it is no more of Works, ⟨p. 260⟩otherwise grace is no more grace; but if it be of works, then is it no more grace; otherwise work is no more work. See how these exclude one another, thus Titus 3. 5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us. No Man can satisfy God by any thing himself can do or suffer; not by doing, for all we do is mixed with sin, Job 14. 4. and that which is sinful can be no atonement for sin; all we do or can do, is due debt to God,
