Secondly, and more particularly, I answer, The Covenant §2of Redemption is that federal transaction, or mutual1 stipulation that was betwixt God and Christ from everlasting, for the accomplishment of the work of our Redemption, by the mediation of Jesus Christ, to the eternal honour, and unspeakable praise of the glorious grace of God. Or if you please, take it in another form of words, thus,
- 1The Covenant of Redemption defined.
It is a compact, bargain and agreement between God the father, and God the son, designed Mediator; concerning the conversion, sanctification and salvation of the Elect, through the death, satisfaction and obedience of Jesus Christ; which in due time, was to be given to the father. But for the making good the definition I have ⟨p. 69⟩laid down, I must take leave to tell you, That there are many choice Scriptures, which give clear intimation of such a federal transaction between God the father and Jesus Christ, in order to the recovery, and everlasting happiness and salvation of his Elect. I shall instance in the most considerable of them.
