opens the former term of Receiving : To reteive Chriſt, and to believe ,
?n his Name,are the ſame thing.To believe in his Name is either to be- liev2 in him. As 3.16.0r 1N the Revelation of himtelt in the Promiſes 0) the Goſpel.The propoſition of God's Word 15 the objett of Faith of aſ- fent ;, but the perſon of the Medrator 15 the object of that Faith which receiveth Chriſt ; and thoſe alone have a Right to be the Sons of God, and to the Privileges peculiar to Sons, who believe in Chriſt as reveal- ed in the Promiſes of the word of God, and there exhibited to
men. 13 * Which were born, not of blood - f, nor of the will of the fleſh g, nor of the will of man #, but of
God 3, f Not of the Blood of Men and Women ; or not of the Blood of
Abraham Cwhich was the boaſt of the Fews, we have Abraham to our Father.) g Nor from the Luſts of the Fleſh. hþ Nor from a power in mans Will, or mens free at in adopting other Mens Children. To be born, ſignifieth to receive our principle of Life 3 thoſe who ars the Children of God have not the principle of their Life, as they are ſuch, from the motions of nature, nor from the Will of men. 7 But of God, whatever be the ſenſe of the former Words, theſe Words plainly aftirm God to be the principal efficient, and procreant cauſe of all thoſe who are the Sons of God ; for Faith, by which we are the children of God, Gal. 3. 26. is the work of God, Fobn 6. 29.

All that is from Chriſt, all the favour of God for the Remiſſich ; 4 Pardon of Sin, and for Strength and Affiſtance to the performance ( Duty, is ( not given from God by Chriſt, as the Law by app; bur) from Chriſt, as the Fountain of Grace ; And not Grace only, 1, Truth, whether taken for ſolid and rea{ mercy, or with reſpe& "A ig Law 3 the fulfilling of all the Types and Prophecies in it, was by ,. in Chriſt.
