1. It is a free pardon to thy Soul; though it cost Christ dear, it costs thee nothing. We have redemption, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, Eph. 1.7. The project of it was Gods, not thine; the price for it was Christs blood, not thine: the glory and riches of free grace are illustriously displayed in thy forgiveness.
2. It is as full, as it is free; a complete and perfect cause produceth a complete and perfect effect, Acts 13.39. Justified from all things, what ever thy sins be for nature, number, or circumstances of aggravation, they cannot exceed the value of the meritorious cause of Remission. The blood of Christ cleanseth us from all sin.

3. It must be as firm, as it is free and full, even an irrevocable pardon for ever more. Christ did not shed his blood at an hazard, the way of justification by faith, makes the promise sure, Rom. 4 16. The justified shall never come again under condemnation. O the unspeakable joy that flows from this Spring! O the triumphs of faith upon this foundation!
