Secondly there is memgoon. an Inheritance by way ofpurchafe and acquifition, Eph.t. t4. Hee was made ofa woman madeander the Law, for twoends, Eed;fiei" , and Iva X770)469PlytfoNgicil; that bee might re- deeme us from the curfe under which wee lay, and that hee might purchafe for us the inheritance which we had forfeited before ; for fo by adoption in that place I un- dediand in a complexed and generall fence every good- thing which belongs unto us in the right ofour fonfhip withChrifi, and that is the Inheritanceof,gloiy, Rom.8. 17.23 .Now all this effeeted by the obedience of Chrifis' death; for in that was the asof impetration or procure- ment,confiaing in the treaty between Godand Chria. But there is yet further required anexecution,a reall effe- analneffe,and 4E10411applicationof thefeto us. As it mull bee in regard ofGodafatisfallion and a purchafe , fo it mull bee likewile in regardofus an aauall redemption and inheritance. And this is done by the interceffion of Chriff, which is thecommemoration, or rather continua- tionofhieSacrifice. He offered it but once, and yet bee is a Priefifor ever, becaufe the Sacrifice once offered doth for ever remaine before the mercy-feate.Thus as inmany ofthe Legall Oblations therewas firfi matiatio,and then Oftenfis: Firii,the beafl was flaine on the Altar,ancl then the blond wastogether with incenfe brought before the mercy-feate, Levit.16.11- i 5. SoChriti wasfirftflasna, and then by his Dimeblondhee oared into the holy place, Heb.9.12.to.i a. That was done on the earthwithout the gare,this in heaven,Heb.13.1 1,1 2. That the Sacri- fice or obtainingofredemption, this the Application, or conferringofredemption. The Sacrifice confifled in the Deathof Chrifi alone,the application thereof is grounded upon Chrifis death as its merit, but effetied by the Life of Chriii as its immediate caufe.
