3. These Conditions being thus set down by God himself, no man falling short of them, can have benefit by Christ's Satisfaction: If men will not receive the atonement, Rom. 5. 11. how can they be at peace? If they will not receive remission of sins, Acts 10. 43. how can they be pardoned? We are all in a worse Dungeon than Jeremiah's, and if we will not put the cords of Grace under our Arms, we cannot get out; we are all servants of Sin, and if we say to it, We love thee, and will not go out free, we must be bored for eternal Slaves. Christ hath opened the ⟨p. 312⟩Fountain of his Blood, but we must wash in it, Zach. 13. 1. Christ hath made a purchase of Souls, but we must believe [Greek or Hebrew], to the purchasing of the soul, Heb. 10. 39. not that Faith is part of the Purchase-money, but that it is the Condition of the Gospel, without which the glorious Purchase of Christ profits not; if men live and die in Unbelief, [Greek or Hebrew], there remaineth no more sacrifice for them, Heb. 10. 26. Indeed Christ offered a Sacrifice for them, but [Greek or Hebrew], the benefit of that Sacrifice doth no more remain unto them; upon their final Unbelief they have no more benefit by it than if there had been none at all for them: In which sense I understand that of the Father, Si non credis, non tibi descendit, non tibi passus est Christus.
