The third Proposition is this, The business transacted1 between those two great and glorious persons, God the father, whose greatness is unsearchable, and Jesus Christ,2 who is the prince of the kings of the earth; was the redemption and salvation of the Elect; our everlasting blessedness was now fresh in their eyes, and warm upon their3 hearts, how lost man might be found, and how fallen man might be restored, and how miserable man might be made happy, how slaves might be made sons, and how4 enemies might be made friends, and how those that were afar off, might be made nigh, without the least prejudice to the honour, holiness, justice, wisdom and truth of God; was the grand business, the thing of things, that lay before them. Upon the account of the Covenant, compact and agreement, that was between the father and the son, it is, that Christ is called the second Adam; for5 ⟨p. 101⟩as with the first Adam, God plighted a Covenant concerning him and his posterity, so also he did indent with Jesus Christ, concerning that eternal Redemption, that he was6 to obtain and secure for his seed. For the clearing of this, let us a little consider of the excellent properties of that Redemption that we have by Jesus Christ.
