But from the effectual redundancy of this damnation upon your persons, you are every one freed who are in Covenant with God; For there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, Rom. 8. 1. And whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have eternal life, John 3. 15. And the ground of this your immunity from the damnation due unto you for your sins, is the satisfaction which Christ hath made for your sins unto the justice of God; and thereupon the obtaining of riches of mercy from your God, who (according to his Covenant with you) blots out, and forgives all your sins, and never remembers them any more.
