that is of both seeing and healing when by the light comming to them they see both him and his Father 2. The truth of that ransoming or redemption from the curse of the Law perfect in Christ for men appears further from the grace of God extended unto men in the mercies and accommodations of the natural life yea in the severest of his chastisements there appears a great abatement or taking off the greatest part of the stroke and that it is not sustained as the full and proper wages of sin but is far less then our iniquities deserve the truth and holiness of God was ingaged that the soul that sins must dye and the death was such as was wholly destructive and no intermission or mixture of any mercy but the soul to have been continually filled with madness and confusion the body with pains and all diseases in the extremity till it had been wholly turned to dust the rain of the land powder and dust we to eat our bread in sorrow and anguish of our hearts all our dayes all curses to follow and overtake us till we perish this was our portion Gen. 3. 17 c. with Deut. 28. 15 c. neither may the truth and holiness of God suffer the least impeachment he cannot in clearing clear the guilty Exod. 34. 7. Therefore in that man is preserved from so much of the destruction and confusion in his minde and of the pains and anguish in his body in this natural life as that he is a capable subject of beholding conversing with and comfortable injoyment of the works of Gods creation and providence that instead of the rain of our land being powder and dust the Lord gives rain from heaven and instead of eating our bread in the sorrow of our heart all our dayes the Lord gives food and gladness instead of thornes thistles that the Lord in any measure gives that which is good and our land yields her increase herein Gods goodness is witnessed so as through a Saviour and leading to repentance all these having in them a testimony of a door opened again to God mercy and truth met redemption wrought in another for us Psal 85. 9 12 13. Acts 14. 17. Rom. 2. 4. upon that account it is that God demeans himself towards men in his government ●ow by Christ as if he did not see their iniquities because he is well pleased for his righteousness sake Isai 42. 19 21. in whom truth is sprung out of the earth c. 3. The truth of this further appears in that all shall be raised from the first death and then be judged according to the Gospel which they could not have been if one had not by the grace of God died for them and rose again 2 Cor. 5. 10 14 15. Acts 17. 30 31. Rom. 2. 16. yea if Christ be not raised for them then can there be no resurrection of them For since by man came death by man came also the resurrection of the dead For as in Adam all die so in Christ shall all be made alive 1 Cor. 15. 21 22. Neither could there be any reason or rule for judging men according to the Gospel for whom there was no truth in the Gospels Declarations propounded to them to be believed if no grace extended by which they might have been saved They must have perished if Christ had not died for them in the first death but there could have been no ransoming out of it and so no second death But to proceed 2. As Jesus Christ by giving himself a ransome hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law and therein saved us from perishing in that first death and misery having in and by himself taken away our sins from before the Father the sin of the world after the first consideration as passing and being found on them simply and necessarily through the first disobedience so he hath therein and by vertue thereof obtained eternal redemption even redemption of the transgressions under the first Testament Heb. 9. 12 15. A perfect restoration of all that was lost by that sin and according to that judgement a restoration of it not into their persons but into himself for them that it might be enjoyed by faith and in the first fruits of the Spirit and the hope of the harvest by any of them in believing in him through his name there it is perfect in him as in a publique person or treasury for us who will never lose it That in coming in to him it might be enjoyned by us In him God hath given us eternal life He of us to whom life is given in Christ that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son hath not life And yet it 's given him in Christ as before 1 John 5. 11 12. The sum of our loss and that in which eternal life consisteth is capacity and liberty to the enjoyment of the delightful favour of and fellowship with God in which is life All have sinned and come short of the glory of God unto which they were created in the first publique man Sin makes separation between God and men forasmuch as by it we lost that Image of God in which we were created which was such as in Soul and Body together we were capable subjects of immediate fellowship with our Creator and in also our liberty to such enjoyment we are in our selves and as in relation to the first man justly banished as well as enemies in our mindes and so at a distance strangers to the life of God but Jesus Christ in our nature as the second publique man and for us hath perfectly recovered that Image of God which we lost and in a better maner and that both in Soul and Body so as he is in our nature and as the publique person a capable subject of immediate fellowship with God and hath also liberty he is entertained to such enjoyment that now for us through sufferings he is entered into the actual possession of glory that he may appear effectually in the presence of God for us and that whosoever comes in to him by faith may in him appear perfect and righteous before the Father yea the fulness of the Godhead dwells in him bodily according to that John 17. 4 5. I have finished the work thou gavest me to do on earth and now I come to thee holy Father glorifie me with thine own self with the glory I had with thee before the world was Compared with Col. 1. 14. 15. In him we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sinnes Who is the Image of the invisible God c. 'T is true the 15. verse is a description of the excellency of his person In whom we have redemption but it is also clearly a demonstration of the redemption we have in him the Image of God recovered into our nature that through faith in him it may be enjoyed by any of us whose nature he took as aforesaid Seeing whatever Jesus
