3. In the methods of his grace, so I call all the transactions of God about the salvation of sinners from first to last; ⟨p. 558⟩the rejection of the Jews, and calling of the Gentiles. Rom. 11. 33. Oh the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God: the various dispensations used in the Church before the Law, under the Law, and time of the Gospel, these are called [Greek or Hebrew], the manifold wisdom of God, Eph. 3. 10. Redemption by Christ, the great plots of Heaven, called the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery, and without controversy a great mystery, 1 Tim. 3. 16. that which Angels desire to pry into; Gods Master piece, wherein all things by a rare contrivance, are ordered for Gods glory, and mans good, the wonder of it will take up our hearts to all eternity; to see the ruins of the fall so exactly repaired, the glory of God salved, the comfort of man provided for, [Greek or Hebrew], Oh the depth of this glorious mystery!
