The divine life in three treatises

By his own blood entered he once into the holy place, having obtained eternal Redemption for us: The eternal inheritance is received by means of death for the Redemption of transgressions, Heb. 9. 12, 15.] so that all Scripture speaks this truth aloud to us, that there is now no salvation promised but to the Church, the Justified, the Regenerate, the Redeemed; and that none can be capable of these but sinners, and such as are lost and miserable in themselves. And till our necessity be understood, Redemption cannot be well understood. They that believe that Christ dyed not only for this or that man in particular, but for the world, methinks should believe that the world are sinners and need his death.
