Hence observe; God will for ever acquit the righteous, nor shall any have power to condemne those whom he hath once acquitted.

:1147p. 356–357

There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ (Rom. 8.1.) as much as to say, such shall be for ever delivered from their judge. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? It is God who Justifieth (Rom. 8.33.) Though some will presume to lay many and grievous things to the charge of Gods Elect, yet God having Justified them,¹ all their charges shall be reprobated and rejected. God who hath once Justified a person, will never lay any thing to his charge, and what charge soever others bring against him, Gods justification will take it off. The Apostles challenge is universal, Who shall lay any thing &c? It is universal two ways. First, in regard of persons accusing, he excepts none in earth, heaven, or hell. Secondly, in regard of crimes, he excepts no sort of sin, ⟨p. 357⟩let them seek and find what they can, be they sins against God or man, be they sins of omission or commission, be they sins never so much aggravated, or sadly circumstantiated, though against both light and love, yet they will not do against a person Elect and Justified. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? wipes away all charges. Accused they may be, though justified, but condemned they cannot be, because justified. The best of Saints on earth have much in them, and much is done by them, which might be matter of charge against them (for he that saith he hath no sin in him, hath indeed no truth in him, 1 Joh. 1.8
