If the Lord Jesus Christ, hath satisfied for my sins (may a believer say) then whatsoever affliction I do meet withal, it does not come upon me as a punishment (properly) it does not come upon me as an arrest for to pay my debt. When a Reprobate is smitten, and afflicted, all his miseries, they are arrests for to pay his debt. Hath the Lord Jesus Christ satisfied Divine Justice, and God the father for me? then surely these afflictions they do not come for me to make satisfaction.

Again, If the Lord Jesus Christ hath satisfied for my sins (may a believer say) then I shall never be Damned, I shall never fall from grace. I have had many fears, that I should fall from grace, and so go to Hell, and perish at last: But if the Lord Jesus Christ hath satisfied Divine Justice for my sin, then God the father will never punish my sin again, for it was punished in Jesus Christ, therefore I cannot fall from grace, therefore I can never be Damned.
