Paragraph 8.6

Although the Price of Redemption was not actually paid by Christ, till after his Incarnation, yet the vertue, efficacy, and benefit thereof was communicated to the Elect in all Ages successively, from the beginning of the World, in and by those Promises, Types, and Sacrifices, wherein he was revealed, and signified to be the Seed of the Woman, which should bruise the Serpent’s Head;^a and the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World:^b Being the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.^c

   1 Peter 1:10–11

   ^1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: ^1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

   ^1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully, ^1:11 trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
