Fourthly, Whereas you say, Christ hath in our stead performed the Conditions of life, and that there remains nothing but a Promise,1 &c. you therein speak at the highest dialect of Antinomianism; Hath not Christ by his Life and Death performed the Conditions of Life in our stead? yet you your self confess, that pardoning Mercy is in order of nature consequent to our believing; certainly then there is something more to be done beside the mere making, or being of a Promise: there must be the effect of the Promise in our hearts; yea, the effects of those absolute Promises of the first Grace, Ezek. 36. Jer. 32. Or else notwithstanding Christ's performance of Redemption on his part, we can neither be justified nor saved. For I don't think you intend to lay the Conditions of Repentance or believing upon Christ, who in the New Covenant hath laid them upon us, tho in the same Covenant he graciously undertakes to work them in us: and yet your words sound in that wild Antinomian Note.
