PERIOD II.
HAVING shown how the work of redemption was carried on through the first period, from the fall of man to the incarnation of Christ▪ I come now to the second period, viz. the time of Christ's humiliation, or the space from the incarnation of Christ to the resurrection. This is the most remarkable article of time that ever was, or ever will be. Tho' it was but between 30 and 40 years, yet more was done in it than had been done from the beginning of the world to that time. We have observed, that all that had been done from the fall t• the incarnation of Christ, was only preparatory for what was done now. It may also be observed, that all that was done before the beginning of time, in the eternal councils of God, and that eternal transaction there was between the persons of the Trinity, chiefly respected this period. We therefore now proceed to consider the second proposition, viz.
That during the time of Christ's humiliation, from his incarnation to his resurrection, the purchase of redemption was made.
