and there ye will find much Grace and Mercy; that it is made with a Mediator, and with a mediator that is a Surety, that the stock is bestowed on him and put under his Custody, that the Promises are made to him and the Price exacted from himself. 5ly, Look to the Manner of executing it; what love, Grace and mercy shines forth in the Father, in taking vengeance on his only begotten Son for us? What love in the Son, in yielding to take it on, and in his leaving his manifestative Glory for a time, that he might undergo the curse, and in his doing all this with delight?

And this is the end of it, as is clear: Ephes. 3 9. That all men might see what is the fellowship of this Mystery: which from the beginning of the World, hath been hid in God, who Created all things by Jesus Christ, to the intent, that now unto the Principalities and powers in the Heavenly places, might be known by the Church, the manifold wisdom of God.
