person , he yielded to the justice of God , a full and proper satisfaction for the sins of his people ; by which he delivers from condemnation , and gives aright to all spiritual blessings , and to the glory of heaven ; the saving benefits of of his death are extended no farther than to the elect , for whom he undertook :, and in whose place he died : for as all are saved , for whom Christ died , otherwise he
mast be supposed to have died in vain ; and as all men are not actually saved , it follows , that he did not die for all men , or merely to put into a salvable st ^ te , all who will
attempt to work out their own salvation , by improving upon the common helps which are afforded them . u VII . All that are saved , are
justified by the righteousness of Christ , imputed to them . God pardons their sins , and accepts them as righteous , not on the account of any thing in them , or done by them , but for Christ ' s sake
alone ; not by imputing faith itself , the act of believing , or sincere obedience , as their righteousness ; but by imputing Christ ' s active and passive obedience , as their sole justifying lighteousiiess . Though
they receive Christ and rest on him and his , merits , by faith yet that faith is riot from themselves , but is the Holy Spirit ' s work ; and though by- that we receive the righteousness * of Christ , yet . it is not the condition for thesake of

"X . After death the souls of believers shall be perfectly holy ? and shall immediately pass into glory , and shall not sleep with their bodies , which are to * be committed to the grave , ' till the last
day ; at which time , the same bodies shall be raised from the dust of death in glory and honour , and shall be re-united to their souls , that in soul and body the saints
may be for ever present with the LorH , and may keep up uhinter * rupted fellowship with the Father , Son and Holy Spirit , in the happy regions of rest and peace .
u To the Father , to the Son , and to the Holy Spirit , three divine persons , and the one supreme God , be all honour and glory ascribed , now , henceforth , and for evermore Amen * "
