1. Declaratory, in the conditional Promises of the Gospel. Joh. 7. 37. Math. 11. 28. He that believeth shall be saved: come to me and you shall have life: as the Serpent was lifted up &c. Christ is the end of the Law of Righteousness to them that believe, Rom. 10. 4. and innumerable others. Now declaratory tenders are very precious; there is much kindness in them, and if they be rejected, they will be the savour of death unto death: but the Lord Christ knows that the outward letter though never so effectually held out, will not enable any of his for that reception of his Righteousness, which is necessary to interest them therein; wherefore 2. In this tender of Acceptation with God, on the account of what he hath done and suffered, a Law is established, that whosoever receives it, shall be so accepted. But Christ knows the condition and state of his in this World. This will not do. If he do not effectually invest them with it, all is lost. Therefore
