¹If Christ by dying hath made full satisfaction, then God is no loser in pardoning the greatest of sinners that believe in Jesus: and consequently his Justice can be no bar to their Justification, and Salvation. He is just to forgive us our sins, 1 Joh. 1.9. What an Argument is here for a poor Believer to plead with God! Lord, if thou save me by Jesus Christ, thy Justice will be fully satisfied at one round payment, but if thou damn me, and require satisfaction at my hands; thou canst never receive it. I shall make but a dribbling payment, though I lye in Hell to eternity; and shall still be infinitely behind with thee. Is it not more for thy glory to receive it from Christs hand, than to require it at mine? One drop of his blood is more worth than all my polluted blood. O how satisfying a thing is this to the Conscience of a poor sinner, that is objecting the multitude, aggravations, and amazing circumstances of sin, against the possibility of their being pardoned. Can such a sinner as I be forgiven? Yes, if thou believest in Jesus, thou mayest: for so God will lose nothing in pardoning the greatest transgressors. Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy; and with him is plenteous redemption. Psal. 130.7. (i. e.) a ⟨p. 177⟩large stock of merit lying by him, in the blood of Christ, to pay him for all that you have done against him.

¹If Christ by dying hath made full satisfaction, then God is no loser in pardoning the greatest of sinners that believe in Iesus: and consequently his Iustice can be no bar to their Iustification, and Salvation. He is just to forgive us our sins,
