A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadful condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate. The latter tending to the directing and persuading of the godly and regenerate unto several singular duties. As also a word to householders stirring them up to the good old way of serving God in and with their families, from Joshua's resolution, Josh. 24. 15. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Set forth especially for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of St. Sepulchres Parish, London by Tho. Gouge, late pastor thereof.A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadfull condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate.

2. That he might vanquish all the enemies of our Salvation, and overcome Satan, hell and death, which no meer creature could do.
Christ being God, by his death he overcame death, and him that had the power of death, that is, the Devil.
3. That his obedience and sufferings might be of an infinite price and value.
That which made the Obedience, and the Death of Christ to be of such an infinite value was, that it was the obedience, and the death of the Son of God, of him who was God, as well as man. The Deity being one nature in the person of our Redeemer, an infinite dignity accompanied his person, and every thing that was done and suffered by him.
