1. He hath purchased reconcilement with the Father. He hath reconciled us by the death of his Son, Rom. 5. 10. God loved us indeed from eternity when he chose us, but we were by nature children of wrath as well as others. How came we to be restored and reconciled to the Father, from whom we fell as much as we could, by the blood of the Lamb, that hath reconciled us to God.

Secondly, by his death, he hath paid a price of purchase for union, and possession of union with the Sonne. So doth the holy Apostle teach us, Ephes. 2. 13. to 16. You that were sometimes far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ: For he is our peace who hath made both one (Jews and Gentiles both one) and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us: So that he hath made Jews and Gentiles one household of God, and hath built us upon Jesus Christ the chief corner stone.
