BOOK I. On 1 Pet. 1. 18. Ye were redeemed by the Blood of Christ. Oct. Christ hath purchased all spiritual good for His. | 5 For Explication, three things: | What this Spiritual good is. | All that we lost in Adam; all that we need, and […] desire to make us happy. | How Christ hath purchased this, by laying down […] sufficient price for it, viz. His Death and Obedience. | […] two, hence. | 8 1 Instruction: See how difficult it is to obtain the least spiritual good. Nothing to be had without this Purchase. | 2 Reproof to two sorts: | 1 To those that have interest in this Purchase, […] ⟨image 11⟩improve it not | 2 To those that catch at it, having no right […] unto. | 3 FOR HIS, here consider, | […] 1 The special respect in which they come to have […] in Christs merits. | […] on Sinners. | […] Elect. | […] But as the Seed of the Covenant, such as shall […] leeve. | 2 Christ hath purchased FOR THEM. | 1 In their room. | 2 For their good. | Reasons why Christ hath purchased only for His, […] the Faithful, not for all. | […] […] | 1 The […] of God is satisfied only for them. | 2 Christ prayed only for them. | 3 They only shall be saved. | 4 They […] have the means of Salvation made […] […] to them.

And yet it's a Covenant of free Grace. | 3 The […] of Christ never gives evidence to any man of his good Estate, without respect to a qualification, viz. Faith and Grace. Because | 41 1 This work of Evidencing, is a work of Application. | 2 The Spirit never Evidenceth without the Word. | 3 The Spirit always […] by applying of a general Promise, wherein particular persons are included.
