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
