I would not, I should not, in a way of orderly proceeding descend to Particulars, for that were to […] things out of place; I am now only in the general Doctrine, which lies open in a Community for the […] of it to all that comes after, and therefore nothing proper to this place but that which carries that Community with it; The Severals I shall reserve to their particular places: Only thus much we may say […] the further manifestation, All that Spiritual Good we lost, all that we do want or can need, all that […] can desire, all that we can receive for our everlasting welfare, this is that plentiful Redemption which […] meant here, Psal. 130. 7.

Why is it said that Christ hath Purchased […] §2Good? Because there is a Price laid down for it, […] that of equal worth, and of valuable consideration […] that which is desired and obtained, and that in a righteous way of just proceeding; and the Price that […] laid down is expressly named in the Text to be the […] Blood of Jesus: You were Redeemed (says […] Apostle) not with Silver and Gold, (these were […] too mean quality, and too base a condition, being […] and transitory things, and therefore no […] answerable to those everlasting, and spiritual, and […] good things we look for) but with the […] Blood of Christ, which is of endless infinite and […] virtue and efficacy, and in which the Lord rests […], this is a full Purchase.
