I mean in regard of execution in the passages of our salvation: For at 1first it was a free love that gave Christ to us, and us to Christ, So God loved the world, that he gave his Son, that was the first that set all the world in execution: but in the execution from predestination to glorification, before all worlds he loved us in Christ to everlasting: from the everlasting in election, to everlasting in glory, all is in Christ in regard of execution. We subsist in him, we are sanctified in him, we are justified in him, his righteousness is ours, we are glorified in him, we are loved in him: God blesseth us with all spiritual blessings in him, Ephes. 1. 5, 6. God hath made us accepted in his beloved: In him who is his beloved Son, in whom he is well pleased: not only with whom, but in whom, in him and all his, in him as mystical Christ, head and members. God now looks upon our nature as it is united to the person of his only begotten Son; and thereupon our nature is lovely in the eyes of God, and enriched, and honoured, and advanced in Christ.
