The Christian's charter showing the privileges of a believerThe Christian's charter shewing the priviledges of a believer

CHAP. XX. A serious Scrutiny about the Believers Charter.

I Hear, me thinks, a Christian say▪ ¹Great are the Privileges of a Believer, but I fear I have no ⟨p. 228⟩title to this glorious Charter: All depends upon an interest. Were there a dispute about our Estate, whether such an Inheritance did belong to us, we would desire that there should be a trial in Law to decide it. Here is a large Inheritance, things present, and things to come; but the question is, whether we are the true Heirs to whom it belongs? now for the deciding this, we must seriously examine what right we have to Christ; for all this Estate is made over to us through Christ: so we find it in the text; All things are yours, and ye are Christs: There comes in the Title. Jesus Christ is the great Magazine and store-house of a Christian, he hath purchased Heaven in his blood; now if we can say, we are Christs, then we may say, All things are ours.
