Even as if a man should undertake three or four years hence to pay a debt that is due by one that is subject to be carried to prison, and on that 1condition that this man shall be freed, I undertake at such a time to pay such a debt; so though the debt be paid three or four years hence, he is let go free that was obnoxious to go to prison for the debt; though it be to be paid after: So it was with Christ, he the second person in the Trinity undertook ⟨p. 409⟩being so appointed by God the Father: the blessed Trinity stablished this, that Christ should pay the debt by death; the debt to divine justice should be satisfied by the cursed death of the cross, that those that before should have gone to hell else for the debt, should be all freed that had any part and interest by faith in Christ, who should pay the debt afterwards. Christ undertook at such a time to be incarnate, and to pay it for us: God the Father to whom we were obnoxious, that was the creditor for the payment of that 4000 years after, let them go: so Christ was yea to them, they had benefit by Christs death.
