med who
liue
in
their finnes,deaitute
of
al
holineífe towards
God,and righteoufies
towards their
neighbour.
Thirdly,
we
arc
ro
confider
that
the Lord
bath
redeemed
vs
to
a
twofold
end
:
the
firli
and principali
is
his
owne
glo-
rie,the
fccond
which
is
fubordinate vnto the other,is
our fal-
uation
and euerlaíiing
happineffe
:
both
which concurre in
all
thofe,to
whom
the
redemption
ofChria
is
made effeelu-
all.
Now God
is
not
glorified by
redeeming
fuch
as
continue
in their
rebellion towards him, and
will
not
by
any meanes
kaue
the
feruice
offinne and Satan,but rather in
(hewing his
iuftice and
power,in punifhing their
finnes
which they com-
mit with
greedines
:
but
he
is
glorified
when
bee mercifully
deliuereth repentant
fanners,
out
ofthe
bondage
of
fanne
and
Satan, who
are
wearie
of
their captiuitie,and
defire
nothing
more then freedome,that they
may in
the
ref}
of
their
liues
fcrue
him their
redeemer in
the
duties
ofholines
and
righte-
oufnes. And therefore they
who
liue in
their
finnes
without
repentance, continuing
Gill
traitors to
God,
and feruants
of
Satan,can haue no
affurance
oftheir
redemption;for the
Lord
bath
therefore
bought
vs with
aprice,
that
wee
fhouldglorífte
him both
in
our
bodies
and
foules
:
and
therefore thofe who
in
head
ofletting
their
lightes
of
holineífe and righteoufneffe
thine
cleerely
beforemen,
that their
heauenly
father
may
be
glorified,doe nothing
elfe
but
difhonor
him by their
fins
and
wicked
conuerfation,
Phew
plainely
that the redemption
wrought
by ChriP
doth not
as
yet appertaine vnto
them.
Fourthly,we
are
to
know that
the worke
of
our
redempti-
on wrought by Chrifi,
confifieth
of
three parts or degrees
;
for
firfi
Chrifi
redeemed
vs
by paying the
price
ofourre-
demption,and
thus he
is
faid
in
the
Scriptures
to
haue redee-
med
vs
with
his
blood.Secondly,he redeemeth
vs
when
as
he
applieth
this benefit
ofour
redemption vnto
vs
in
particular,
and doth thereby
free
and deliuer
vs
from
the
diuell
fin
and
death,
fo as
wee are
no
longer
in
their bondage,
fubieci to
their power
and gouernixsent,although we be continually
al-
faulted
and often foiled by them
;
thirdly,he
redeemeth
vs
when
as
he
perfe6ily
freeth
vs,not
only from the power and
gouernment,
