2. The Scripture does propose Christ to be believed on, both as the purchaser and dispenser of salvation▪ the Word of God does propose him to be the object of Faith, both as purchaser and dispenser of life: he is made to us for Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification and Redemption, he is declared to be the purchaser of Salvation, 1 Tim. 2.6. He has given himself a ran•om for us: so he is declared to be the dispenser of it: He has power over all flesh, to give eternal life to as many as God has given him, John 17.2. Christ is not a Priest only, but a Prophet and a King; and our Faith do•s not justify us merely as it relies upon the blood and righteousness of Christ, which are the matter of our justification, but as it entertains Jesus Christ; for that is the condition of the covenant.
