It's said of a company of Despisers of Christ, That they […] him again unto themselves, Heb. 6. 6. When they resist one Christ, and resist that Salvation that hath been offered, either they must have another Christ, or he anew crucified if ever they be saved. So there must be a new Christ, and new Scriptures, before such miserable wretches can be relieved, the Blood of Jesus, the Spirit and Promises of Jesus; Grace and Salvation hath been tendered to these stubborn-hearted, and they have opposed and cast all away; either there must be another Christ, or he must die again: All the Commands and Comforts in the Word, all the Rules and Directions, […] and Counsels, have been used and tried without any profit and prevailing power, therefore there must be another Covenant, […], and Scriptures, if thou beest saved; that's incredible, therefore the other impossible; […] can ye escape that neglect so great Salvation? Heb. 2. 2. I appeal to your selves, You will go from the Law to the Gospel, from ⟨p. 438⟩justice to mercy, but whither will you go when you have departed away from mercy, and mercy is departed away from you.
