We before observed that if we would take the Consideration of the great affair▪ of Gods grace appearing in the good will that he manifests to sinful man, at the rise of it, we must follow it up to the eternal purpose o• God, in which the whole Scheme of it was laid out.

When therefore the Apostle discourseth of these Spiritual Blessings, he runneth them up hither, Eph. 1. 3 4 According a• he hath chosen us in Christ &c.
