144. In justification, all the believer's sins are pardoned.

145. In justification, the believer is accepted by God as righteous, only by the imputation of Christ's righteousness.

146. The benefit of Christ's imputed righteousness is received by faith alone. 147. No obedience of ours can in any measure recommend us to an interest in Jesus Christ.

148. To speak of "sincere obedience" as being under the Gospel dispensation substituted in the room of "perfect obedience," is altogether improper and absurd.

149. The doctrine of salvation through the merits of Jesus Christ alone, has no tendency to encourage men to continue in sin.

150. This method of acceptance with God through the righteousness of his Son, redounds more to his honour and glory, than if sinners could have obeyed perfectly in their own persons, or than if they had been doomed to perish for ever in their sins.

151. Adoption is an act of God's free grace.

152. By adoption sinners are received into the number of the children of God. 153. By adoption believers receive a right to all the privileges of the sons of God.

155. In sanctification the sinner is renewed in the whole man after the image of God.

156. In sanctification the sinner is enabled more and more to die unto sin and to live unto righteousness.

157. All those benefits which are said to flow from justification, adoption, and sanctification, are inseparably connected with them.

158. In this life, the believer has the assurance of the love of God.

159. In this world, the believer enjoys peace of conscience.

160. In this world, the believer possesses joy in the Holy Ghost. 161. In this life, the believer increases in grace.

162. In this life, the believer perseveres in a state of grace.

163. At death, the souls of believers are made perfect in holiness.

164. After death, the souls of believers immediately pass into glory.

165. The bodies of believers "rest" in their graves, where they are still united to Christ.

166. The bodies of believers shall be raised from their graves at the last day. 167. At death, the state of unbelievers is very different from that of believers.

168. At the resurrection believers shall be raised up in glory.

169. Believers shall be openly acknowledged and acquitted by Christ at the day of judgment.

170. Believers shall be made perfectly blessed in the full enjoyment of God to all eternity.

175. The laws of God are distinguished into natural and positive.

177. The moral law is a universal, an unchangeable, a perfect, and a spiritual, holy, just, and good law.

178. Righteousness and life cannot be obtained by the moral law.

179. The moral law may be viewed in three forms:-as a law of nature, as a covenant of works, and as a rule of life.

180. The moral law is of use-to all men in general-to unregenerate menand to believers.

181. Besides the moral law, there are other laws,-namely, the ceremonial and judicial, which God gave to his people of old as the rule of their obedience. 182. The Ten Commandments were written by the finger of God himself on two tables of stone, and delivered by him to the Israelites from Mount Sinai, with an audible voice, accompanied with great terror.

183. The moral law, which is fully contained in the Scriptures, is summarily comprehended in the Ten Commandments.

184. That the Ten Commandments may be properly understood, that we may know the extent of our duty, and that the law may not be deprived of its due,-various rules are necessary to be observed.

185. The first and principal subject of the Ten Commandments, is love to the Lord our God.

202. The Second Commandment forbiddeth the worshipping of God by images; or idolatry.

203. The Second Commandment forbiddeth the worshipping of God in any way not appointed in his Word.

216. Although they who take God's name in vain escape punishment from men, yet the Lord will not suffer them to escape his righteous judg

ment.

217. Besides the reason above mentioned, there seem to be other reasons in the commandment itself, why the name of God should not be taken in vain.

218. The Fourth Commandment is expressed in a peculiar manner. 219. The Fourth Commandment requireth the keeping holy to God such set times as he hath appointed in his Word.

220. The Fourth Commandment requireth us to sanctify one whole day in seven, which God hath expressly appointed to be a holy Sabbath to himself.

221. Although the commandments which God gave the Israelites respecting the observation of other Sabbaths or set times, were ceremonial, and abrogated at the death of Christ; yet the Fourth Commandment, concerning the weekly Sabbath, is moral, and binding on all men in all ages.

222. From the beginning of the world till the resurrection of Christ, the seventh day of the week was appointed by God as the weekly Sabbath.

223. From the resurrection of Christ till the end of the world, the first day of the week was appointed to be the Christian Sabbath.

224. The Sabbath is to be sanctified by a holy resting all that day, even from such worldly employments and recreations as are lawful on other days.

225. The whole Sabbath is to be spent in the public and private exercises of God's worship, except so much as is to be taken up in works of necessity and mercy.
