But let it be demanded, why the Lord did Engage himself to undertake the work of our Salvation:
It will appear, that there is nothing but free Grace breathing in all the work: he freely undertook it, out of his free good will performed it, and out of his free Grace applies it. So that there is nothing but free Grace and the free gift of Grace, in what Christ hath wrought for us, or wrought in us.
