Again, he hath bought us, yea, he hath overbought us. If you should see a flock of sheep, 1and hear that such a man hath paid such a price for them, far beyond their worth, you will be ready to say, let him have them, he is well worthy of them. And shall Christ be denied that which he hath so dearly bought? he hath bought you from the world, from the power of the devil, yea, and from your selves, so that they are not to set us on work, We are not our own, 1 Corinthians 6. we are therefore to do a mothers business, and that is Christs, who requireth love.
