Thirdly what are the terms on which ye are called and may warrantably come to this marriage? I need not stand on the terms on his side, nor to tell you what he promiseth, It's this in a word, I will be for thee: He is content to make over all that is his to you; Pardon of Sin, Justification, Sanctification, his Spirit to quicken you, even his whole Purchase to enrich you: in Sum (as it is, 1 Cor. 1.31.) He is made of God unto you Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification and Redemption; He hath made all things yours (as it is 1 Cor. 3.21.) And in him ye are complete, (as the Apostle hath it, Col. 2.10.)

Secondly as ye would not glory in your selves, so ⟨p. 62⟩ye would glory in him: what ever ye deny in your selves ye would put him in the room of it: If ye dare not lippen or trust your souls to your own righteousness, lippen or trust them to his: He says I am content to pay your debt, and since ye canno pay your own debt your selves, say humbly to him, blessed Lord Jesus pay our debt for us; He is the end of the Law for Righteousness to every one that believeth
