 made by God upon Jesus Christ, for the Considerations therein mentioned: The Epitome or Contents whereof, and the Manner of the Execution, I find in that History which we call the Gospel; but because the Contents thereof is not a Subject within this Essay, I will not dare to touch upon it here: But the manner of the Execution being directly within my Argument, (or rather my Argument within that) I dare relate it as I find it. This Settlement was first Enrolled in Heaven, (in the Volume of the Book it is written of me) afterwards was Sealed and Executed in the Blood of Christ, (the Seal of the Covenant) in the presence of all the World, (the Sound thereof is gone through the whole Earth) and since that hath or shall be Written and Preached, Printed and Published in all Nations, Kingdoms, Tongues and Countries. (This Gospel must first be preached in all the World, as a Witness to all Nations, and then shall the End be.) By all which God himself is bound up from disposing Eternal Life in any other manner, than pursuant to this Settlement, without giving himself the Lye, which he cannot do; and Man hath such Notice of this Title, that he can't accept any other, without becoming an Imposter upon himself.
