the love of God constraineth us, because we thus judge that if one died for all, then were all dead, and that he died for all, that they which live fhould not henceforth live unto themSelves, but unto him which died for them, and rofe again, 2 Cor. 5. 14, 15. which words are thus cleared unto us by the learned Dr. Hammonds Paraphrafe on the place: "For "our Love to Chrift founded on his to us

hath us in its Power to make us do what"foever it will have us, making this Argu"ment from this certain acknowledged "truth of Chrifts having died for all Men, "that then certainly all Men are Sinners "lapfed in a loft Eftate, and fo hopeless un"lefs they ufe fome means to get out of that "Eftate, which that he might help us to do,

When it is therefore faid, that Chrift bare our Sins, and bare our Infirmities, it is to be understood that he really cured both, and as truly by virtue of his Death takes away fin, and the eternal Punishment thereof, from all that by Faith apply it to themfelves, as he took a way diverfe Infirmities by his Word from feveral who believed on him, fo that the Socinians injuriously, and blas phemously deny the Divine Power and effi cacy of the infinitely meritorious, and fatif
