Tenthly, The Lord Jesus Christ, 1by whom alone we are pardoned, is freely given to us by the Father. What price could we have offered, to have brought down the Son of his Eternal Love from his Embraces. What was there in us to draw a Saviour out of Heaven? Were ⟨p. 40⟩we so amiable as to move him to divest himself of his Glory, and to Eclipse his Deity in our Mortal Bodies, only that he might become like such poor Worms as we are, and take us unto himself? Ask no more, but admire, God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him might not perish, but have everlasting Life. Here's a Mystery that the whole College of Angels can never comprehend! What, God Condemn his Son, that he might pardon Rebels! The Son of God blot his Deity in our Flesh, only that he might blot out our Transgressions with his Blood! This is such transcendent free Grace and Love, that in this we have an Advantage above the Angels themselves, standing higher in the Favour of God, upon this account, than they do.
