 Your diſeaſe of ſin will ruin you, if ye be not ſaved from it. The guilt of it will ſtake you down under wrath, and the wrath of God will ſink you unto hell.

Mot. 3. He is able to ſave you, Heb. vii, 25. 'He is able to ſave them to the uttermoſt, that come unto God by him." Whatever be your caſe, there is infinite merit in his blood to take away the deepeſt guilt. I John i. 7. The blood of Jeſus Chriſt his Son cleanſeth from all ſin." There is an infinite efficacy of his Spirit to ſanctify the moſt unholy. I Cor. vi. 11. 'And ſuch were ſome of you: but ye are waſhed, but ye are ſanctified, but ye are juſtified in the name of the Lord Jeſus, by the Spirit of our God;' If ye doubt it, ye diſhonour Chriſt, and his Father who ſent him, Pſalm
