wid. Ch. 156.4. And to us thereſhall be the like imputation, if we believe in God, that raiſed up Jeſus our Lord from the dead. q This is a greater AC of Faichthan Abraham's was. And the nature of juſtifying Faith lies rather in Affffiance, or in putting truſt in God through our Lord Jeſus Chriſt, than in aſſent or in giving credit to the Truth of his Promiſe. 2. Why-dorth the Apoſtle ſingle out this AQ of raiſing Chriſt from the dead ro deſcribe the Faith of Abraham by ? A. To maintain the proportion betwixt the Faith of Abrahaw, and the Faith of his Seed ; that as his reſpe&ed the Power of Ged, innaifing (2s it were) the dead, ſo in like fore ſhould ours. So ſome. But the Apoſtle ſpeaks, as if there were ſome ſpecial reaſon and ground for Confidence in God for Juſtification in this A& of railing Chriſt from the dead ; and indeed nothing is more fit to eſtabliſh our Faith in perſwaſion of our Juſtification than this; for when God raiſed up our Lord Jeſus Chrift, having looſed the pains of Death, he gave full Aſſurance, that his! Juſtice is fully ſatisfied for our Sins. Had not Chrift Jeſus our ſurety paid the utmoſt Farthing that was due for our Sins, he had ſtill continued in Priton, and under the Power of Death. Hence 'tis that the Apoſtle Peter tells us, 1 Pet. 1. 3, That God hath begotten us t0 # lively hope of the Heavenly Inheritance by the ReſurreFion of Chrift from the dead; there being no more effetual means to perſwade us of the Pardon of Sin, of Reconciliation with God, and of Accep-
rance to eternal Life, than that Jeſus Chriſt our Surety and Spon- }
ſor is riſen from the dead.

Chriſt did meritorioufly work our Jufificst:on and Salvation b his Death and Paſſion, bur the Efficacy and PerfeQtion thereof wit reſpelt ro us, dependeth on his Reſurre&ion. By his Death he paid our Debt, in his Refurreftion he received our Acquittance, Iſa. 53 8. when he was diſcharged, we in him, and together with him received our diſcharge from the Guilt and Puniſhment of all our Sins.

CHAP. V.
The fruits of juſtification by faith ; peace with God, patience, hope, and aſſuranc: of Ged"s Love : this proved by the Teftimony of the Spirit, and the Drath of Chriſt for us when Enemies : ſuch a Love no men have fer one Another, 1 —8, This aſſures to us our Salvation : and producech preſent joy in thoſe, who bave received the Atone-
' nent, 9—11. A parallel between Chrifl and Adam; by Adam's iranſgreſſion came Sin and Death upon all ; by Chriffs Obedience Righ- teouſneſs and Life Cometh upon many ; Condemnation by one ſin ; Juſtification from many Offencer, 12-—— 19. The End and Uſe of the Law. 2021,
