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.

For this is a sure truth, that remission of sins, and actual damnation for sins, are incompatible, or inconsistent. Now whether this be any cause of comfort that you and your sins are parted, and that you and hell are for ever separated, I leave it to any one of you to judge: for mine own part, I do look upon four things as very great mercies. 1. That I am delivered from the power of sin. 2. That I enjoy the pardon of sin. 3. That I shall never be damned for sin. 4. That I shall be saved, notwithstanding all my sins.
