In Prosecuting this point, we shall show, 1. More Particularly what this bargain is, that is put to the sale. 2. Who the Merchant is. 3. What are the terms on which, and how it is made. 4. What is the manner how the Gospel puts home this bargain, and lays Christ and his fullness forth upon Stands in the Market-place, as it were, (to speak thus with reverence of this Divine Mystery) that there may be free access, to whosoever will come, and buy these rare and rich Wares and Commodities.
