1. There hath bin a Transaction between the Father and the Son concerning the Redemption of the Elect. It is true, that there were Transactions and Consultations concerning Mankind, before Man was made. Gen. 1. 26. God said, let us make man in our Image after our likeness. Who are the Per••ns here spoken of, as creating Man? Even the Father, Son, and Spirit. For none but the LORD alone did or could Create man. So then the Sacred Trinity did as it were sit in council concerning the Creation of Man, but besides that, There have been glorious Transactions between the Father and the Son concerning the work of Redemption. Thus some interpret that Scripture in Zech. 6. 13. The counsel of peace shall be between them both. h. e. between the LORD JEHOVAH, and Him that is called the BRANCH: God and Christ did (as it were) consult together ⟨p. 6⟩how Peace and Reconciliation might be Obtained for Sinners, so as might consist with the honour of Justice, Hence Christ is called God's Companion, Zech. 3. 7. Awake O sword against the Man that is My Fellow. Now Companions are wont to consult together.
