In these and such other places, is set out before our eyes as it were in a glass, the abundant grace of God, received in Christ Jesus, which is so much the more wonderful, because it came not of any desert of ours, but of his mere & tender mercy, even then when we were his extreme enemies. But for the better understanding and consideration of this thing, let us behold the end of his coming, so shall we perceive what great commodity and profit his Nativity hath 1brought unto us miserable and sinful creatures. The end of his coming, was to save and deliver his people, to fulfil the law for us, to bear witness unto the trueth, to teach and preach the words of his father, to give light unto the world, to call sinners to repentance, the refresh them that labour and be heavy laden, to cast out 2the prince of this world, to reconcile us in the body of his flesh, to dissolve the works of the devil, last of all, to become a propitiation for our 3sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
