First: As for the Issue of Christs Travel, which he travelled for, it is all that fruit and effect of his Sufferings, which he did travel for. There are some immediate next effects, and fruits of Christs Death, and Sufferings, which I may call the first Birth of the Death of Christ: There are other effects, which are more remote, and I may call them the latter Birth of the Death and Sufferings of Christ. But look whatever fruit or effect that is which Christ did travel for, that he was assured of: The first he did see presently, and the latter he doth, and shall see daily.
