Minister, Dost thou believe, thou canst not be saved but by the Death of Christ.
'Sick-man, Yes, I do so believe.
Minister, Then let it be said unto thee, go, and whilst thy Soul abideth in thee, and put all thy confidence in Christ's death alone, place thy trust in no other thing; commit thy self wholly to Christ's death, cover thy self wholly with his death, wrap thy self wholly in his death: and if God would judge thee, say, Lord I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and thy Judgment, and no other ways will I contend with thee: And if he shall say unto thee, thou art a sinner, say I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and my sins; and if he shall say unto thee, that thou deservest Damnation; say, Lord I put the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between thee and all my sins, and I offer his Merits for my own, which I should have, and have not: If he shall say, that he is Angry with thee; say, Lord I place the death of Christ between me and thine Anger.*
Minister, Then let it be said unto thee, go, and whilest thy Soul abideth in thee, and put all thy confidence in Christ's death alone, place thy trust in no other thing; commit thy self wholly to Christ's death, cover thy self wholly with his death, wrap thy self wholy in his death: and if God would judge thee, say, Lord I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and thy Judgment, and no other ways will I contend with thee: And if he shall say unto thee, thou art a sinner, say I place the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between me and my sins; and if he shall say unto thee, that thou deservest Damnation; say, Lord I put the death of our Lord Jesus Christ between thee and all my sins, and I offer his Merits for my own, which I should have, and have not: If he shall say, that he is Angry with thee; say, Lord I place the death of Christ between me and thine Anger.
