He did confirm the Covenant by his death, (I say) by performing the condition of the Covenant. If a man be in captivity, and he that hath him in captivity promises, upon the payment of so much money that he shall be delivered, when the money is paid down, the Condition is performed; Why, now Jesus when he dyed, he gave himself a ransom for many, [Greek or Hebrew], yea, [Greek or Hebrew], and upon this account, he is called a Mediator, 1 Tim. 2.5. There is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a Ransom, [Greek or Hebrew], a Ransom in the room, a Ransom for, or in the room of us.
