§. 179.
5. Man being indebted to God's justice, by him unsa∣tisfiable; and in bondage to sin; to the law; to death; and to Satan, the grand Executioner of God's justice, and Prince of this lower world; Jesus Christ the Redeemer, by paying a ransome, freeing us from our debt; and, by ma∣king a conquest, delivering us out of our slavery. By whom we are freed already from the dominion of sin, from the condemnation of the law, from the chains of Satan, from the approach of death eternal, from the hurt, and therefore from the fear of death temporal, that being now only a passage to happiness. But, when the good time is come, shall be by the same Redeemer, yet more perfectly freed from all these, than as yet we are; namely from any adherence, or possi∣bility of sin; from any temptation of Satan, from being restrained to any law, from being capable of any mortality, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
