4. He doth; for Rom. 5. 11. by our Lord Jesus Christ we do receive the Atonement, accept of the peace made and tendered, laying down our enmity to God, and so confirming an agreement betwixt us in his blood. So that through him we have an access unto the Father Ephes. 2. 18. Now the whole wisdom of this Agreement, without which, there is no walking with God, is hid in Christ: out of him God on his part is a consuming fire: we are as stubble fully dry, yet setting our selves in battle array against that fire; if we are brought together we are consumed. All our approachings to him out of Christ, are but to our detriment: in his blood alone have we this Agreement: and let not any of us once suppose that we have taken any step in the paths of God, with him, that any one duty is accepted, that all is not lost as to Eternity, if we have not done it, upon the account hereof.
