Are you troubled and perplexed about the weakness of your Grace, as well as for the Strength of your Sin? Fly to this Sanctuary the Righteousness of Christ; this cannot only cover your Sins, but also the Imperfection of your Graces: For it is such a Righteousness as satisfies all the Demands of God's Justice, and nothing less can pacifie Conscience; here is a Righteousness too hard for all your Sins, Rom. 5. 20, 21. Where Sin abounded Grace did much more abound: That as Sin hath reigned unto Death, even so might Grace reign through Righteousness, unto eternal Life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
John Sedgfield — John Sedgfield, Jehovah Tsidkenu; or, A Discourse on that Glorious Title of Jesus Christ, The Lord our Righteousness (Kendal: Printed by Tho. Ashburner, 1736), p. 38
