19. Christ perfectly fulfilled all that he undertook, and this as the second Adam; not a Natural Root, but a Voluntary Sponsor: Not our Substitute or Servant sent by us, but chosen by t•e Father, and sent by him to do all his Will for Mans Redemption.

20. As he took the common Nature of Man, so ⟨p. 5⟩the sins of all, and not only of the Elect were the causes of his sufferings, and said upon him, and the fruits of his sufferings and merits were some common, and some peculiar to the Elect.

21. He being not as Adam, our natural Parent, was not merely by natural generation to convey his benefits to the Redeemed; but by such means as he should choose, and Man consent to, even by a holy Covenant or Contract, being also his Doctrine, and his Law in several respects; which Covenant having great and precious Promises, is Gods Instrument of Donation and Condonation, and our title to all the blessings promised; by which God doth give us right to Pardon and Salvation: This Law of Grace is the Rule of our duty, and the Rule by which we shall be judged.
