ANTECEDENTLY unto all that the Lord Christ did and suffered for the Church, there was a supreme act of the Will of God the Father, giving all the Elect unto him, entrusting them with him, to be redeemed, sanctified and saved; as himself declares, Joh. 17. 6, 9. Chap. 10. 14, 15, 16. And on these Grounds this Mystical Conjunction between Christ and the Church hath its virtue and efficacy before it be actually consummate.
