2. Christ is not only Strong, as Mediator, in respect of his Person, but also by God's Eternal De•ree and Purpose; God's absolute Decrees are compared to Mountains of Brass;1 he is fixed, ⟨p. 19⟩and stands firm and sure, by God's Eternal Purpose; hence called a sure Foundation:2 No need to fear venturing up upon such a Ladder; should Millions of Sinners at once get upon it, 'tis strong enough to bear them, tho they are never so heavy laden with Sin and Iniquity: He that hath born the weight of Divine Wrath, and Vengeance,3 can bear, and sustain the weight of all that come unto him, and venture themselves upon him by Faith and Dependence, tho' never so vile and notorious Sinners.
