You may now look on •od as your Father, and on Heaven as your inheritance, se•led on you by the love of God, and purchased for you by the blood of Jesus Christ.
4. What shall I say more? Jesus Christ is your Priest for Intercession also; Do 1you know your happiness by this, and in this? your Christ is now entered into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father: and therefore he intercedes for you, he presents himself as your Surety, •s your Redeemer, in all his susceptions and endurances and discharges and purchases for you, in the price which he laid down and in the merits of that price, and so negotiates, and obtains for you, and still is effectually letting d•wn unto you the virtues, and purchases of his life and death, until you come at length to •he highest and full enjoyment of himself in glory. Father, I purchased this for him, I paid dearly for it &c. And therefore some (not without ground) ascribe all the purchases of Christ (for the application of them unt• us) unto the Intercession of Christ.
