(2.) The second spring of our communion with Christ in purchased grace, is his death and oblation. He lived for us, he died for us; he was ours in all he did, in all he suffered. “Tantane me tenuit vivendi, nate, voluptas, Ut pro me hostili paterer succedere dextræ, Quem genui? tuane hæc genitor per vulnera servor, Morte tua vivens?” Virgil, Æneid. x. 846. I shall be the more brief in handling of this, because on another design I have Vindic. Evan., cap. xx.–xxii. vol. xii.elsewhere at large treated of all the concernments of it.
