I say again, examine, wast thou ever quickened from a dead state by the power of the Spirit of Christ through the other part of the Scripture; That is to say, by the power of God in his Son Jesus Christ, through the Co∣venant of Promise. I tell thee from the Lord, If thou hast, thou hast flt such a quickning power in the words of Christ, (Joh. 6.) that thou hast been lifted out of that dead condition that thou before wast in, and that when thou wast under the guilt of sin, the curse of the Law, and the power of the devil, and the justice of the great God, thou hast been inabled by the power of God in Christ re∣vealed to thee by the Spirit, through, and by the Scripture, to look sin, death, hell, the devil, and the Law, and all things that are a enmiy with thee, with boldness and comfort in the face, through the bloud, death, righteousness, resurre∣ction, and intercession of Christ, made mention of in the Scriptures.And thirdly, on this account, O how excellent are the Scriptures to thy soul! O how much ver∣tue dost thou ee in such a Promise, in such an in∣vitation! they are so large, as to say Christ will in no wise cast me ut▪ My crimson sins shall be white as Snow.
