7 Moreover the Redemption of the Church by Christ, may be considered after four sorts: First, in what respect she is totally redeemed before the Father, in that Christ died for her; for then were all the Elect truly redeemed and reconciled to God: Next, in as much as by faith she is made acquainted and partaker of this Redemption: for ⟨p. 337⟩when as the Elect do yield true faith to the Gospel of reconciliation, they are said to be justified, and reconciled to God, to wit, for that they do understand, receive and embrace the reconciliation perfected by Christ: Thirdly, in as much as the Church daily by the same Christ is delivered more and more from enemies continually besetting them; for that, though she be daily oppugned, yet never for all that, through Christs defence, is she surprised: Lastly, in as much as all enemies being utterly despoiled, and even death it self (which the Apostle calleth the last enemy) so it shall be delivered from all evils, as that it shall never after have any encounter with any kind of enemies.
