Baxt. Faith and sincere Obedience to the Gospel, by which through' Christ's Merits, I expect to be justified, so far as I am enabled to walk up to the Rule of the Promise. God having received a full Recompense by his Son's Obedience, for the breach of the severe Law of perfect Obedience; he has removed that Law, and our dear Saviour has merited a mild Law of Faith and sincere Obedience; and now, if we obey this new Law, and sincerely serve the Lord, we shall be justified in his sight, and eternally be saved.
