make mention of his being a propitiation through faith in his blood, Rom. 3. 25. A propitiation for our Sins, yea also for the sins of the whole World, 1 Joh. 2. 2. Our having Redemption through his Blood, the forgiveness of Sins, Eph. 1. 7. Col. 1. 14. Such an unconceivable Advantage as this that we have by him, should not have been forgotten. If Mr. Lock say, that otherwhere in his Reasonableness of Chri∣stianity he doth mention our Redemption by Christ, I grant it; but, 1. I do not at present remember that he any where in it mentions Redemption through his blood. 2. If he do speak of it otherwhere, how easie had it been for him to have nam'd it here among other Advantages, and to have referr'd his Reader to the places where he had spoken of it? If Mr. Lock say again, that he set down as much as his Argu∣ment requir'd; I answer, That he did not: Having moved the Question, What Advantages we have by Christ? and making it his business to answer it, his Argument requir'd that such a transcendent Advan∣tage as this should not have been omitted.
The truth is, innumerable are the Advantages that we have by Christ; so that it would not have been expected that he should give an account of them all. To instance in some; Beside the Benefits mention'd above, we have by him Vocation, Repentance, Justi∣fication, Peace with God, Adoption, Sanctification, Audience of our Prayers, Acceptance of our Persons, Victory over Persecutions, Afflictions, and Death it self; Salvation or Glorification, &c. And therefore that Mr. Lock, though he intimates that our Advan∣tages by Christ are great and many, should insist on∣ly upon four or five, and overlook all the rest, espe∣cially that he should take no notice of that which is the foundation of many of the other, viz. Christ's redeeming us by his Blood, and being the Propitia∣tion for our Sins, is thought strange by others, what∣soever he himself may think of it,
