1. First, concerning the price that was laid down for the purchasing of it, it was the greatest that ever was given for any thing; For there goeth more to the buying of a1 Christian, then to the making of the world▪ For in the Creation, GOD did but say the Word, and all things were presently formed according to their several kinds: but in the work of Redemption, God was not only to say, but to pay also, and that full dearly, even the blood of his only Son, which was of an infinite value. And therefore if things are to be esteemed according to that which Wise-men will give for them, surely the estate of Christianity must needs be worthy high estimation, sith the wise GOD provided it for his children, at such an inestimable reckoning.
