fay
,
It
is
enough,
they
muff
have abode
to
all
eternity
un-
der
it,
they could never have come out
of
Prifon ,
but
have lain
there
;
but
now Chriff bee undertook this work,
and
was
content
to
bee
under
the power of
Death till
God
thould
fully
difcharge
him,
as
being fatisfied
;
God
faith
at
length
I
am
fatisfied ,
Let
the
prifon doors
bee
opened,
let
him go
;
fo
that
when Chriff
comes
out of the
Grave,
now
hee
is
declared before men and
Angels
mightily
in
a
wonderful manner
to bee
the
Son
of
God;.
and it
is
upon this
that the
Scripture faith in
Pfalnm
2. Thou
are
my Son,
this
day
have
1
begotten
thee, which
is
applied
by
the
Apoffle
in
46-1.i 3.
and
fome other Scriptures
unto
Chriffs
Refurre&ion.
This
is
now
, as
if
fo
bee
that
Chriff had
been begotten
but
that
day
;
why Chriff was
the
begotten
Son
of
the
Fa
ther from all Eternity.
I
but
Chriff coming
under the
charge
of
mans fin,and un-
der thepower
of
death,all the
while he
was
in
that
low
elate
of humiliation,hee
Both
not
appear
like
the
Son
of
God
be
=,
fore
the world
,
but
when hee comes and
gets
the
power
over
all,
and
is
acquitted and
rifes
again, now hee
doth
ap-
pear
like himfelf
indeed
,
the
only
begotten Son
,of
the
Fa-
ther, hee
is now
mightily
declared
to bee
the
Son
of
God
;
and in
this
theRefurreCtion
of
Jefus
Chriff
was
wonderful,
for the wonderful
power
and
efficacy
that
there
is
in it;
Chriff being
acquitted,all the
eleô%
were in him
acquitted,all
were acquitted in
him
vertually
,
though
there
is
another
acquitting perfonally
when they beleeve
:
At
the
very
time
of
Chriffs
Refurreaion
, all
the
Ele&
were
acquitted
as
in
a head
,
yet
I
fay,
There
is
another acquitting
from God
in
ones own perfon
,
that
is
upon beleeving
:
From
hence
that
notable
Scripture wee have
in
z
Pet.
