The Fourth Demonstration.
That Jesus Christ by what he hath done, hath paid full price to God for Sinners, and obtained Eternal Redemption for them, is evident, if you consider how the preaching thereof hath been from that time to this, a mighty Conqueror over all kind of Sinners. What Nation, what People, what kind of Sinners have not been subdued by the preaching of a Crucified Christ. He upon the White Horse with his Bow and his Crown hath conquered, doth conquer, and goeth forth yet conquering and to conquer, Revel. 6. 2. And I, saith he, if I be lifted up from the Earth, will draw all men unto me: but what was it to be lifted up from the Earth? Why, it may be expounded by that saying; As Moses lifted up the Serpent in the Wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish but have everlasting life, Joh. 12. 32. Chap. 3. 14, 15.
