IMPROVEMENT.
IN surveying the history of redemption, from the fall of man to the end of the world, we have now shown how this work was carried on through the two former of the three main periods into which this whole space of time was divided, viz. from the fall to the incarnation of Christ, and from thence to the end of the time of Christ's humiliation; and have particularly explained how in the first of these periods God prepared the way for Christ's appearing and purchasing redemption; and how, in the second period, ⟨p. 163⟩that purchase was made and finished. I would now make some improvement of what has been said on both these subjects considered conjunctly.—This I would do, 1. In an use of reproof. 2. In an use of encouragement.
