The Lord hath said to my Lord, &c.1 And Matthew 22. verse 42.43. Acts. 2 verse 36. Therefore all the house of Israel know for a surety, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus I say, whom ye have crucified. The end and drift of these words is, that being entered into league with so faithful a Lord (who hath redeemed them from the power of darkness, neither with gold nor silver, but with his own blood, making them his own peculiar, and not only he so purchased them, but he protecteth and preserveth them being so purchased, with a special care) they might safely and with assured confidence of mind commit themselves unto him, yea; and yield up themselves to be kept for ever.
