A. God had made a special Promise to Abraham first, that† Christ should be his Seed, in whom all Nations should be blessed: and to David after, that he should be his Off-spring, an everlasting King.
Q. 12. Why was not Christ Born till about Four thousand Years after the Fall?
A. It's dangerous asking Reasons of God's Councils which he hath not revealed. But this much we may know, that Christ was Mans Redeemer by undertaking what he after did, before his Incarnation. And that he revealed the Grace of Redemption by Promises, Types and Prophesies, and so saved the Faithful: And that Gods works are usually progressive to Perfection, and ripest at last: And therefore when he had first sent his Prophets, he lastly sent his Son, to perform his undertaking and bring Life and Immortality more fully to light, and bring in a better Covenant, and gather a more excellent Universal Church.
