The Lord Jesus by his Death purchased both the Persons and the Privileges of the Elect of God. 1To this end Christ both died and rose again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and the living: In the former verse the Apostle asserts the absolute dominion which the Lord Jesus hath. over us; whether we live or dye, we are the Lords: Here, he tells us what right or title that is, whereby he holds that dominion, scil. by the right of purchase; For this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived [Rose and Revived] that is, rising again he did revive; by his death he merited of the Father, that both in death and in life, both dying and rising again, he might dispose of the Saints to his own advantage. Why, now ⟨p. 16⟩the Lord Jesus having bought his Elect at so dear a rate, if the Saints should not rise again, he should lose his purchase; there were no more Merit in the death of Christ, than in the death of any of the Sons of Adam; and even in this respect Christ had died in vain, and risen in vain.
