Lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth neer. 1 Cor. 1. 30. He is made to us …, wisdome, sanctification, and redemption. Our whole redemption, from the first act to the last both for merit and efficacy, … is wholy from Christ, and not at all from our selves, no not in any part, or least degree.

;;One whereby the elect of God are freed from bondage of sin and death by the price of Christs blood payed to the righteous judgement of God: hereof Paul in Eph. 1. 7. Another whereby the same elect are put in full possession of their redemption at the last and great day, when they shall be wholly freed from all remainder of sin and corruption of the grave.
