There is a Covenant of Redemption.
ISAI. LIII. 10. When Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed.
IT hath been observed by some, That of all the Prophets Isaiah is the most Evangelical. Nor is there any part of his Prophecy that hath more of Gospel in it than this Fifty third Chapter; wherein he speaks as if he wrote rather an History than a Prophecy. He speaketh as if he had lived in the days of the Gospel, and been an eye-witness of the sufferings of Christ and of the Glory which followed thereon.
