3. Thou hast as much ground to believe that Christ died for thee, as any of those had once who now feel the Effects of his Death.
4. Did ever any Sinner throw himself at his Feet as a poor lost and undone Creature, and take hold of him, that was rejected?
Query. What is the first Effect of Christ's Death?
Answ. The first Effect of Christ's Death in the Soul, is Life; Life is infused: And if thou hast a vital Principle in thee, thou wilt cry out under the Sense of thy Sin. Thrust a Sword into a dead Man's Bowels, and he will not stir nor cry out. Sin is in wicked Men, like a Sword in the Sides of such as are dead; but as soon as Life is infused, there will be Sense, and a crying out. Now when they heard this they were pricked in the Heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, What shall we do? Some of 1these had been the Murderers of the Lord of Life and Glory, yet they found Mercy.
