Oh what a fountain of consolation is here! what marrow and fatness is here, what sweetness is like to this, to all that believe? who now may say, once sin was mine, then it was laid upon Christ, and now they are neither mine nor his; because they are not at all: for by his blood he washed them all away; and now they are all gone, blotted out, and shall be remembred no more, no more, no more. Now Christ's righteousness is mine, as well as his, for I was made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor. 5. 21. And I did nothing at all to procure these things to me: in this appears free grace; here is Christ, and Christ alone, and nothing but Christ; all things else pass away, because they are under the sun: Eccles. 12. they are full of mutation and change.
Samuel Richardson — Samuel Richardson, Justification by Christ Alone: (A Fountain of Life and Comfort.) Written in the year 1647 (London: John Hart; sold by J. Lewis and at the Tabernacle, 1745), p. 11
