a
great
deal more
of the
image
of
the devil, and
of
the brute,
than
we
do
of
the
image
of
God.
The
re-
introduftion,
reflauration,
and renovation
of
the prifline beautiful
conformity
to
the
glorious image
of
God (with
their re-
conciliation and
juflification
through
his
fatisfa&ion to
divine
juflice) in
force
of
the
univerfally lapfed and loft
oflerity
of
Adam,
even all
the
ele& and
gifted
ones
to
the Mediator,
to be
redeemed,
fan
&hied
and
Paved
by
him,
in
order
to
the capacitating
of
them
to
enjoy
fel-
lowíhip with God,
(forfeited
by
the fall)
and
that
by
a
new
creation
(the
very
fplendor
and
glory
of
the
whole creation)
was
the great errand and
bufinefs
for
which
Chrift Jefus
came
into
the world
;
who,
being
the
head and foundatión -flone
of
this
new
creation,
hath
gracioufly
undertaken
to
prepare,
fantify
and
glo=

his myflical
body, or
all the
eleft
given to
him
by
Jehovah:
Which
he
accordingly
effeð
and
bring-
eth
to
pats, by
regenerating them, by
fan&ifying
them,
and
by carrying
on
this work
of
fan4iñcation
in
the
growth
and
gradual
advances
thereof, till it
be
perfeEted
and
confummared
in
glory
:
Whereby
the
image
of
God
in
men
is
again
renewed,
and
reflored
both

their
fouls
and
bodies
refpe&ively,
in
a
good meafure now
in
this
life, and fhall
be
perfectly

the
life
to come
:
Where,
as
they
fhall
all fee
him
as
he is,
intuitively
face

face,
and
enjoy him
fully
and immediately,
without
any

moment's
interruption through
all
eternity;
fo
they
fhall
be
like him, perfec`ly like
him,
according
to crea-
