In the second is Gods chusing Christ and his seed according to the Spirit by regeneration g to glorifie his Name in the world h Christ being in this Dispensation or Testament the root and his people the branches VII a In the first Testament or Dispensation God gave Circumcision for a signe of the Messias to come of that line b to fulfil the whole Law of God in doing and suffering whatsoever was required of man c The which Circumcision and all the Mosaical sacrifices did imply d And though called the Testament of the Law yet was under the Covenant of Grace e and onely a Schoolmaster VIII a Christ was as man onely capable of suffering and by his passion did redeem every man that is the whole nature of man from the guilt c of Adams sin d which was imputed to him being found in our nature e So that by his suffering he satisfied the justice of God in bearing the curse due to man f for Adams breach of the Law of works and not otherwise IX Christ could not suffer for the actual transgressions of any individual man since Adam's fall as may farther appear 1. a Because himself could not transgress b but bare the curse due for the breach of the Law committed by Adam c and thereby impressed on man's nature d of which Christ himself was 2. a Because man was not under the Law of works for life after Christ was promised b any otherwise then as a Testament shewing c what was to be performed by Christ By d which it appeareth that man could transgress onely against the Covenant of Grace since Adam e which Christ fulfill'd actually for believers onely f and so his suffering was onely for the Law of Works broken by Adam's transgression as hath been proved Object 1. Whereas it is asserted that Christ could not suffer for the actual transgression of any man since Adam's fall 't is contradictory to the Scripture and therefore to be rejected Answ 1. For answer the Scripture contradicteth it not as may appear for that of Isa 53.6 and 1 Pet. 2.24 say Christ bare the iniquities of us all which is done for first a the disobedience of Adam was the disobedience or iniquities whereof all mankinde was thenceforth guilty b because they in him thereby brake the whole Law of God c Secondly this Christ bare and so bare the inquities of us all that being ours but d because he was the Lambe without spot it must be onely imputatively And was made a curse because he was e found in the nature whereon the curse lay Answ 2. The other Scriptures say The blood of Christ cleanseth us from all sin By which words recited and the cohaerence of them is demonstrated the a application of Christ's death unto his by faith and that two wayes first b by perswading the soul of the c sufficiency and reality of his death in satisfaction of Gods justice so the guilt of sin is done away from the conscience and it reconciled to God thereby Secondly d the efficiency of his blood applied by faith doth unite them to Christ thereby cleansing their consciences e from the filth pollution and power of sin by the power of Christ in the Covenant of Grace made in him who is made unto his f wisdom righteousness sanctification and redemption who by g beholding him as in a glass are transformed into the same image from glory to glory Object 2. Whereas in the ighth Section 't is averred that Christ died for all 't is objected That Christ * prayed not for the world and consequently 't is not imaginable he would spill his blood or the●● for whom he would not spend his breath Answ 1. 'T is answered that Christ's prayer in this chapter consisteth of four parts or branches 1. For Himself 2. For the Apostles and for them by way of eminency and so not for any other as to their present great work 3. For them that should believe on him through their words 4. For the world and for them that they might have a faith and b knowledge that God sent Christ And for them he prayeth twice and also teacheth that this knowledge c is life eternal d And for all that the world may know he prayeth that they may know the truth of which assuredly they e shall know if not whilst it is yet to day yet when the Son of Man cometh with his Angels In the m an time this knowledge f is to be taught them Answ 2. a Whatsoever was written aforetime was written for our learning whence it follows b that 't is the declared will of God that his people should pray for all Unto which duty are urged in one place five motives 1. Because 't is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour 2. Because God our Saviour would have all men to be saved 3. Because there is one God and one Mediator who are one 4. Because they were all purchased by him 5. Because the justice of God may be cleered by his seasonable testifying his love though all men abuse it X. a In the second Dispensation or Testament God gave baptism to discover Christ and to be b the sign of the choice of his seed c by regeneration through faith They being the branches d of that root which was e the fulfiller of all righteousness who were made righteous onely by f imputation of that righteousness which he fulfilled in himself through his union with the Father And so Baptism is the sign and Regeneration the substance of the New Testament XI So that Circumcision is not a Type of Baptism as generally hath been taught but a sign of God's choice of Abraham and his Seed after the flesh to bear his Name in the World and Baptism also a sign of Christ and of Gods choice of his Seed by Regeneration to honour him in this Testament The blood in the first dispensation signifying Christ's humanity the water in the later his divinity XII The two natures of Christ are farther manifested by his three-fold Office First as King he is King as man or in his humane Nature a over the kingdomes of the World in b Righteousness typified by c David was also called the d King of the Jews and so is said to rule the Nations with a e rod of iron Secondly He is King as God or in his divine Nature a King of Saints King b of Peace typified by c Melchisedeck ruling in the d hearts of his people by his Spirit and so his e kingdom is not of this World and therefore not govern'd by f Worldly force or power XIII Secondly as Priest he is a Priest as man or in his humane Nature wherein he suffered typified in the sacrifices under the Priest-hood of Aaron 2. In his divine Nature so he is a living Priest ever making intercession for his typified by the Priesthood of Melchisedech by interposing his righteousness Which is farther evident for that the Spirit of God maketh intercession

in the prayers of the Saints XIV 3. As Prophet he is a Prophet as Man or in his humane nature typified by Moses who was the Prophet of the legal administration under circumcision 2. In his divine nature typified by a John the Baptist id est Elias who was the Prophet of the Evangelical under Baptism In which respect John is said to be the greatest Prophet and both were present at Christs transfiguration on the Mount XV. The two natures of Christ are farther declared by divers similes in Scripture as followeth a He is called the Son of Adam as Man Before the World was as God b He is called the Son of Abraham as Man Before Abraham was as God c He is called the Son of David as Man and Davids Lord as God d He is called a Branch of the Root of Jesse as Man the Root or Vine of Regeneration as God e He is called the Son of Man the Son of God and Emmanuel f He is said to be a Lambe slain as Man the Lion of the Tribe of Judah as God g Expressed by the Vail which is his flesh i. e. humanity within the Vail i. e. his divinity h The Rock parted in which Moses was put i. e. Humanity and Divinity i Exprest by two Witnesses on Earth Water and Blood coming forth of his side the Water-Divinity the Blood his Humanity k In all things made like unto us sin onely excepted signifying humanity Glorified with the Father before the world was divinity l Expressed by two Mountains one of cursing the other of blessing on each of which were six stones for the twelve Tribes of Israel m He is said to be the fulfiller of the Law id est of works humanity The Law-giver id est the Law of Grace divinity XVI It is farther manifest in divers other Scripture viz. a By the parting of the Mount of Olives where the people shall be saved in the later day b By the sacrifices and scape-Goat By the sin-Offering and meat-Offering c By the banks of a River the streams whereof make glad the City of God d By the two Olive-trees on each side of the banks of the River for food and medicine e By the two Olive-Trees emptying Oyl into the Lamps f By the Wells of Consolation g By a yoke of two Dispensations Humiliation and Exaltation h By a Corner-stone supporting two walls God 's chosen people under the Law and the Gospel i By a Way and Jacobs Ladder conveying God's love to man and raising man's heart to God k By the Office of the Mediatorship a propitiatory Sacrifice and an Advocate with the Father And is abundantly illustrated with many of the like kinde as the l chewing of the cud and cleaving of the hoof of the clean beast c. XVII From the cloud of Witnesses afore recited necessarily followeth a That Christ perfected actual Righteousness only in the power of the Divine Nature b which is savingly effectual to those above who are made one with that Nature through Regeneration c and not otherwise Furthermore it is to be known that by all those Scriptures which say the Father gave his Son for or unto the world is meant most especially d as he was man and so to suffer And those Scriptures which say e God gave a people in a peculiar way to Christ it is f by their being united unto and made partakers of the divine nature by Regeneration through faith And thus they are his g seed and members really and called his h branches metaphorically and in him they are eternally happy who is their head glory i strength and song XVIII a In some respects the death of Christ may be said to be the free act of his own will I lay down my life c. and so is part of his actual righteousness before spoken of and effected onely by the power of the divine nature effectual b to none but his sheep and is no c part of his suffering as man for so d he saith Father I will that this cup pass from me c. By this the Objection of laying c. for his sheep onely is prevented XIX Man is not made eternally happie by the passion of Christ that being the act of his a humane nature but b thereby he hath a forbearance from the curse which was In the day thou eatest c. c Hath also a resurrection and d eternal subsistence And indeed the redemption from that curse on man for Adam's sin Christ being made a curse in his suffering But the happiness of that eternal state is made ours e by the union of the soul to the divine nature by the new birth through faith in the love of God first manifested in Christ's sufferings XX. So that it appears that God's declaring Christ to be his Son a in whom he is well pleased was as Christ was the bearer of the curse as man and fulfiller of b perfect righteousness as God as hath been said c and is therefore well pleased with those alone who are so partakers of both natures that whole Christ is imputed theirs Whence 't is also evident that unregenerate man living and dying so hath no union with the divine nature nor is imputatively righteous but the wrath of God abideth on him bearing his own actual iniquity XXI a As creation attributed to the Father is distinct from b redemption peculiar to the Son and that of redemption distinct from the work of c inspiration application and regeneration proper to the holy Spirit so is it distinctly apprehended that d man having lost the beauty of creation and so without power of recovery e hath the benefit of redemption and f abuseth what g strength light and oportunity he hath h given to improve the same i captivateth himself through actual pollution k But onely those whom God hath predestinated to be conformable to the image of Christ are made so to be by the power of the spirit of regeneration and by its operation are united to divine love l the manifestation of which themselves also abused XXII Though Christ came in the flesh onely a in the fulness of time and that after his ascension b the Spirit was eminently poured forth for the manifestation and confirmation of the truth yet in all precedent c ages salvation came by that one sacrifice which is Christ applied by the Spirit of God through faith Whence 't is manifest that d where the Spirit regenerateth not or e where the sin against that holy Spirit is there never was nor is any other way for salvation of man since Adam's fall but that of the declaration of God's love which all do abuse XXIII Though often in the Scripture Christ be said to suffer for all as hath been proved yet a the regenerating spirit of God is nowhere promised to all but compared to the b wind blowing where it listeth Whence it follows c that the spirit of man having captivated it self d doth not by the
