Because God has had such love to sinners as to send his Son to dye, that they might be reconciled unto him: therefore there is no question to be made of it, but he will bestow salvation on all those that have an interest in the death of Christ: this is the Apostles argument, Rom. 5▪ 8, 9. but God commendeth his love towards us, in that whi•e we were ye• sinners. Christ dyed for us, much more being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath by him ▪ and in the next verse, he repeats the argument in other terms: for if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life: the meaning of the argument is, that if God had so much love to us, as to send his Son to purchase our reconciliation, when we were Offenders, then certainly being brought into a state of reconciliation by Christ we shall be saved by him.
