Thirdly, Observe, That there is a Covenant well ordered, suited and fitted to promove this great and Glorious end and design of saving sinners: A covenant so contrived, as it may well suit the saving of sinners, and procure unto them the Remission of sins: There is a transaction betwixt God and the Mediator, a Surety and Cautioner is Provided to take on the debt of the elect, and to satisfy Justice to the full for all their sins: and this is one Article of the Covenant, that the Mediator should undertake thy debt, O Believer, and Satisfy for it: He was (saith Isaiah, chap. 53.) Wounded for our Transgressions, bruised for our Iniquities: the Chastisement of our peace was on him, and by his stripes we are healed.

Fourthly, Observe, That according to this Covenant and transaction, our blessed Lord Jesus hath really, actually and fully satisfied for the sins of Believers, according to his undertaking: So that, as in the Counsel of God, that great trust was put on him, and he undertook the work of sinners Redemption; So, now it is, Father I have finished the work, which thou gavest me to do: The covenant is exactly fulfilled on my part, not one Article of it is unfulfilled: all that was committed to me is now fully performed, Hence it was his last word on the Cross, it is finished.
