TO come now more particularly to show that proper and special influence that Intercession hath into our Salvation, and what it adds to the ⟨p. 126⟩Oblation of Christs death, (though in its kind perfect) in order, to the effecting our salvation; and so show the more inward reasons why God ordained (for upon his ordination alone this is to be put) this work of Intercession in heaven to be joined with his death. And both these I shall put promiscuously together; for in laying down the Reasons why God thus ordered our salvation to be brought about by it, that influence also which Intercession hath into our salvation, will together therewith appear.
TO come now more particularly to shew that proper and speciall influence that Intercession hath into our Salvation, and what it addes to the ⟨p. 126⟩Oblation of Christs death, (though in its kinde perfect) in order, to the effecting our salvation; and so shew the more inward reasons why God ordained (for upon his ordination alone this is to be put) this work of Intercession in heaven to be joyned with his death. And both these I shall put promiscuously together; for in laying down the Reasons why God thus ordered our salvation to be brought about by it, that influence also which Intercession hath into our salvation, will together therewith appeare.
The Reasons either respect 1 God himself, who will have us so saved, as himself may be most glorified; Or 2 respect us and our salvation: God [ordering all] the links of this golden chain of the Causes of our salvation, as should make [our salvation most sure] and steadfast, (as David in his last Song speaks,1 2 Sam. 23. 5.) Or 3 respect Christ himself, whose glory is to be held up, & throughout continued as the Author and Finisher of our Salvation, Beginner and Ender of our Faith and Justification.
