And not only so, but all the prerogatives and good things that come by Christ are yea, they are undoubted in Christ, and they were yea before 1he was: he profited before he was, he was yea to Adam: because however he that was the seed of the woman, came not till the latter end of the World, till 4000. years after the beginning or thereabouts, yet the faith 2of Adam, and of Abraham made him present: Abraham saw Christs day, and rejoiced. There was a virtue from Christ to all former ages, they all had benefit by Christ, as it is proved at large, Heb. 11. And in Acts 15. We hope to be saved by Christ, as well as they: insinuating that they hoped to be saved by Christ as well as we: so he was yea for comfort to all that were before him, as well as now: all the promises were yea, even to the Patriarchs and Prophets.
