Prepared.] Salvation is prepared five ways:1 1. By preordination, and so it wasu prepared before the world was, as* Topheth was prepared of old for the wicked. 2. By creation, and so it was prepared when the Lord made of nothingx that glorious place above these visible heavens. 3. By the mission of Christ, who by his obedience and sacrifice meritedy for the elect this eternal salvation. 4. By regeneration: for so we are said in the verses before to be begotten again to an immortal inheritance: for therein the Lord breaths into us that lively hope and other immortal graces. 5. And lastly by justification, forgiving us all our sins that might keep us out of heavenz, and clothing us with the righteousness of Christ, and accepting us thereupon as his adopted children in Christ.
