1 7. forgiveness of sins is with justification hath blessedness attending it Rom. 4 6 7 8. 3. Salvation necessarily followeth upon this Ransome Redemption as is clear 1. Tim. 2 4. compared with vers 6. 4. This Redemption is from a vaine Conversation 1 Pet. 1 18. consequently is attended with Salvation 5. It is attended with justification Rom. 3 24. being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Iesus Christ. 6. Hence it is called the Redemption of the transgressions Heb. 9 15. that is either of Transgressours by a metonimy or of us from the evil of transgressions that upon a valuable compensation satisfaction for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is a Redemption from evil by the Intervening of a Price a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Ransom 7. This was a Redemption from the Law for God sent forth his son made under the Law to redeem them who were under the Law Gal 4 4 5. so by this redemption there is a liberation had from the Law its Curse Penality 8. And it is a Redemption of such as were under the Law for this end that they might receive the adoption of sones Gal. 4 5. But this Adoption of sones is not common to all 9. All which receiveth confirmation from this that the Father who received this ransome did himself send his Son to lay it down so it was his own Ransome and therefore must have been payed upon a certaine designe of actually Redeeming delivering from Sin Satan Death Hell those for whom it was laid downe 10. So is there an other end of this Redemption mentioned Gal. 3 13 14. Christ hath redeemed us from the Curse of the Law that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Iesus Christ. 11. Seing the Lord Iehovah might have refused to free the sinner upon any Redemption or Satisfaction offered exacted all of the sinners themselves that they lay under by the Law it was a great condescendence in love of this great Lord a gracious act of Soveraignity to accept of a mediation of Love free grace to provide a Redeemer we cannot but in reason think that His good pleasure did regulare this matter as to the Persons who should be Redeemed as to the manner method after which they should actually partake of the Redemption And that therefore the persons to be redeemed were condescended upon and the persons condescended upon were certanely to be Redeemed the Lord having intended in the contrivance of this Redemption the certaine Salvation Redemption of those who were condescended upon of none else and the Intentions Designes Purposes of God are not vaine nor frustrable Further 23. Christ's death ha● a real Merito in it that is a worth and value to procure the good things it was given for so that thereby there was a Purchase made Act. 20 28. And therefore we cannot suppose that all that was Procured Purchased hereby was a General Uncertaine meerly Possible thing If it had a value worth in it as no question it had to purchase procure grace glory unto all for whom it was given and was accepted as a valuable price of the Father why should not the thing hereby purchased be given granted in due time To say that all was suspended upon a condition is to made all Uncertaine or we must say that Christ's death did procure that Condition also and then all is right for that is it we say 24. Christ's death is to be considered as the death of a Testator Heb. 9 15 16 17. And for this cause he is the Mediatour of the New Testament that by meanes of death for the redemption of transgressions that were under the first Testament they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance for where a Testament is there must also of necessity be the death of the Testatour for a Testament is of force after men are dead otherwise it is of no strength at all while the Testatour liveth So he said himself of the cup in the Sacrament that it was the blood of the New Testament Mat. 26 28. Mark 14 24. that it was the cup of the New Testament in his blood Luk. 22 20. and Paul calleth it the New Testament in his blood 1. Cor. 11 25. So that his Death Bloodshed was the death of a Testatour for the confirmation of the New Testament and for ascertaneing of the Legatees of the good things bequathed to them in legacy by the Testament Now a Testament commonly is a declaration of the Testatours free Absolute Voluntary Purpose of bestowing such such benefites to such such friends and so it is the Testatours letter will whereby he willeth that this legacy be given to this person that to another It is true men may insert some Conditions as to some legacies because they are but men know not contingent future things nor have they the wils dispositions of such they appoint legatees in their own hand and power But it is otherwayes with our Testatour and therefore we cannot think that He left the legacies in his Testament at the uncertainty of conditions to be performed by men especially considering how as he died to ratify the Testament so he rose againe to administrate the same as the sole executor thereof by his Spirit that what legacies he left to be bestowed upon such such conditions he left not the matter at an uncertainty for the condition it self was bequeathed as the necessary good of the Testament without which all would have been to no purpose It is unreasonable then to think that Christ died to give force to his Testament and yet it might come to passe that he should have no heire to enjoy the goods left in legacy Nor is it reasonable to think that all the world were equally his heires seing the Inheritance and Kingdom is for the little flock Luk. 12 32. and a peculiar select number 1. Pet. 1 4. Ioh. 17 24. Col. 1 12. who are heires of the promises of God of salvation of the Grace of God of the Kingdom c. Rom. 8 17. Gal. 3 29. 4 7 30. Ephes. 3 6. Heb. 1 14. 6 1. 11 7. Iam. 2 5. 1. Pet. 3 7. Therefore all whom Christ hath appointed heires in his Testament shall certainly enjoy the good things tested in due time for his Death gave force to his Testament as being his Last Unchangeable will so that they cannot misse of the inheritance and be disappointed especially considering that Christ by his death laid down a valuable rich price to purchase all these good things which he left in legacy to his friends heires Christ's death moreover 25. is to be considered as the death of a Sponsor Cautioner and this will further confirme our point Hence he is called a Surety Heb. 7 22. and is said
