If the Devil should come and demand that the Threats of God should bee fulfilled because here is a sinner.
If thine own conscience should in the Name of God demand that thou shouldest answer for thy sin.
A good conscience by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, is able to make answer to all these demands: A good conscience, that is, one that hath a good conscience can make answer through Christs Resurrection, and say, Why are these things demanded of me? Christ hath satisfied for all, he hath satisfied for my sin, and paid my debt, and is risen again. Hath not God the Father acquitted him in raising him from the dead, and therefore in him all is satisfied, and this is the answer I make to all the Bills that are put in against me. If there be Bills put in against m•n in any Court, they come and make answer; What ever Bill can be put in against a believer, if the Law of God, or any Temptation should put in any Bill, saith a believer, here is my answer, That all is satisfied in Christ: Now this is by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ; if Christ had dyed, yet if he had not risen again, thou couldest not have made answer, That all is done, all might have been doing, but thou couldest not have made answer that all is done; but by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, thou canst make answer to any demand.
