Adam and Eve are now ensnared, and in their loins all the men and women, that ever shall be from this beginning of the world to the end thereof; now is thy day of triumph, now thou keepest Holy-day in Hell; but thou shalt not carry it thus. I foresaw from all Eternity what thou hast done, I knew thou wouldest dig a hole through the comely and beautiful frame of the Creation; but I have decreed of old a Counter-work; out of the seed of the woman shall spring a Branch, and he shall bruise thy head, he shall break thy Power, he shall tread thy Dominion under foot, he shall lead thy Captivity Captive, he shall take away sin, he shall point out to Men and Angels the glory of heaven, and a new world of free grace. In this promise, O my soul, is folded and wrapped up thy hope, thy heaven, thy salvation; and therefore consider of it, turn it upside down look on all sides of it, view it over and over; there is a Jesus in it, it is a field that contains in the bowels of it a precious treasure, there is in it a Saviour, a Redeemer, a Deliverer from sin, death and hell: are not these dainties to feed upon? are not these rarities to dwell on in our meditations?
