2. But what shall we say for obedience? “If Christ
be so glorified and honoured by taking our sins, the more we bring to him,
the more will he be glorified.” A man could not suppose that this
objection would be made, but that the Holy Ghost, who knows what is in man
and his heart, hath made it for them, and in their name, Rom. vi. 1–3. The very same doctrine
that I have insisted on being delivered, chap. v.
18–20, the same objection is made to it: and for those who think
it may have any weight, I refer them to the answer given in that chapter by
the apostle; as also to what was said before to the necessity of our
obedience, notwithstanding the imputation of the righteousness of
Christ.
