Expecting, since God accepted his Offering, that those that refused him should be trodden under foot, that is, sunk by him into, and under endless & unsupportable vengeance. But would God have given the World such an account of his Sufferings, that by one Offering he did perfect for ever them that are sanctified? yea, and would he have threatened to make those foes his Foot stool, that shall refuse to venture themselves upon his Offering (for they are indeed his Foes) had not his Eternal Majesty been well pleased with the Price he paid to God for Sinners; had he not obtained Eternal Redemption for them?
