Secondly, The Justified person hath Christ for his own. When the covetous King of Egypt built an house for his great Treasures, the cunning Architect left a loose Stone in the building, that so he might have free access thereinto. What entrance he had by craft into the Egyptian Treasures, that Justified persons have by a fair grant into all the unsearchable riches of Christ, Merit, Spirit, Life, Death, Righteousness, Redemption, Fullness, Glory, all that is in Christ is their own. If his Righteousness can stand before God, so will they. If his Blood can wash away sin, they shall be without spot or wrinkle at the Great day: If his glorious over-measure of the Spirit cannot fail, no more will their supplies of Grace: If he ascended up into Heaven, it was to prepare a place for them: If he make Intercession above, they must have access to the Throne of Grace: If he sit at the Right-hand of Power and Majesty, all their enemies must be made their foot-stool. Oh! infinite enjoyment; Eye hath not ⟨p. 233⟩seen, nor Ear heard, neither can it enter into mans heart, what the total sum of this is.
