Applic. 1 If the e be the Effects of Christs Death, and he had such full assurance to obtain them all; then surely, Christ did not die for all the particular men of the World; for he did not only merit Eternal Life, and Salvation; but Grace, and Holiness, Faith, and Repentance, for all those whom he died for; and he shall u•ely obtain all the ends and effects of his Death; but all the particular men in the World shall not be •aved, n•r believe, and repent, and therefore certainly he did not die for every particular man in the World; but of this more in the next Exercise: Only as a concluding word.

Applic. 2 Let Comfort be, to whom Comfort belongs, here is much much Comfort for all those that are •he ••ed of Christ, whom he died for, and travelled with. You shall •ee the travel of Christs Soul accomplished in your Salvation, Sanctification, and Consolation; for he hath purchased, and merited your Glory, therefore you shall have the same; it was your Justification that he was in travel for, therefore you shall see the same; it was your Sanctification, and Holiness that he did travel for, and he shall not miscarry; it was your Comfort, and Consolation, and Salvation, that he was in Travel for, and therefore in due time you shall see the same.
