The application of redemption

The Merits of our Saviour Christ are of an […] satisfying¹ virtue, and exceed the venom of the guilt of all §2sins, Rom, 5. 18. So Paul constantly disputes, If by the offence of one sin entered unto […], much more by the death and obedience of our Saviour Righteousness entered unto eternal Life. And therefore it was that our Saviour was pleased to receive our Nature even from the vilest of sinners, that he might show himself a Saviour from all sins, Matth. 1. Hence also his blood is called a fountain set open for Judah and Israel, to wash in, for sin, and for uncleanness, Zach. 13. 1. i. e. For ⟨p. 24⟩all kind of sinners, and all sorts of sins. So that were thy heart a Sink, a Sodom, a Hell of wickedness, if the water of this Fountain might pass through and be applied, it would cleanse all. For our Saviour […] the infinite wrath of his Father, which was due for our sins, more he needed not, nay should not. nay could not have suffered, if he died for a thousand worlds of his Elect, if they had come from the Loins of our first Parents. And I do believe there is virtue enough there to pardon the sin against the Holy Ghost if it were applied, but because it was committed against the work of the Spirit so directly, it is not just he should, and there is no other that will; for the Spirit works from the Father to the Son, and therefore last of all, so that they both have put forth their works before, and if therefore his be wronged, he will not apply, and there is none else that can; if the Work of the Father be wronged, Christ may intercede; if he be blasphemed, the Spirit may apply; but if he be despited, there is none left that will or can.
