A30208	Some gospel-truths opened according to the Scriptures, or, The divine and humane nature of Christ Jesus, his coming into the world, his righteousness, death, resurrection, ascension, intercession, and second comming to judgment, plainly demonstrated and proved and also answers to severall questions, with profitable directions to stand fast in the doctrine of Jesus the son of Mary, against those blustring storms of the Devils temptations, which do at this day, like so many scorpions, break loose from the bottomless pit, to bite and torment those that have not tasted the vertue of Jesus by the revelation of the spirit of God / published for the good of Gods chosen ones by that unworthy servant of Christ John Bunnyan ...

the time that God had appointed in the which he should come The second thing that I will through the strength of Christ prove is this that he that was of the Virgin is he that is the Saviour And first I shall lay down this for a truth That it is not any Spirit only by and of it sel●e without it doe take the nature of man that can be a Saviour of man from eternal ve●g●nce Or thus That 〈◊〉 will be a Saviour of man must in the nature of man satis●●e and appeas● the justice and wrath of God and the arguments that I doe bring to ●rove it by are these 1. Because it was man that had offended and ●ustice required that man must give the satisfaction And therefore when he that should be the Saviour was come he tooke upon him the forme of a Servant and was made in the likeness of men Phil. 2. 7. And in Heb. 2. 14. Because the children were partakers of flesh and blond he also himself likewise took part of the same to what end that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death that is the Dwell And is that all No but also that he might deliver them who through feare of death were all their life time subject to bondage The second argument is this because if a Spirit only could have made satisfaction for the fin of mankind and have subdued Satan for man without the nature of man either there had been weaknesse in God when he made that promise to fallen Adam That the seed of the woman should break the serpents head for there had been no need of and so no room for that promise or else God having made it would have appeared unfaithful in not fulfilling his promise by redeeming the world without it 3. If a Spirit only could have made satisfaction and so have saved man then Christ needed not to have come into the world and to have been borne of a woman Gal. 4. 4. but in that he must come into the world and must be borne of a woman it is cleer that without this he could not have been a Saviour for he was made of a woman made under the law to this end that he might redeem them that were under the law Implying No subjection to this viz. the taking of the nature of Man no redemption from the curse of the law But Christ hath delivered from the curse of the law all that believe in his name being in their Nature made a curse for them And this is the reason why the fallen Angels are not recovered from their damnable estate because he did not take hold of their nature For he tooke not on him the nature of Angels but he tooke on him the seed of Abraham Heb. 2. 16. Now then seeing this is the very truth of God I shall next prove that Jesus that was born of the virgin to be the Saviour And first I shall prove it by comparing some places of the old and new Testament together and by some arguments drawn from the Scriptures And first see Gen. 3. 15. where he is called the seed of the woman saying I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed and so was Jesus Gal. 4. 4. where it is said God sen● forth his son made of a woman or borne of a woman 2. This woman must be a virgin Isa. 7. 14. where it is said a virgin shall conceive and beare a Sonne and shall call his name Emanuel And Jesus is he that was the fulfilling of this Scripture Matth. 1. 22 23. Now all thus was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet saying Beh●ld a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son and they shall call his name Emanuel 3. The Saviour must be of the Tribe of Judah And this Jacob prophecied of on his death-bed saying Judah thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise or honour th●●● hand shall be on the 〈◊〉 of thine enemies thy fathers children shall bow down before th●e And again Mic. 5. 2. But thou Be●hlehem Ephratah though thou be little among the thousands of Judah yet out of thee shall he come that is to be ruler in Israel Jesus 〈◊〉 of the tribe of Judah and that will cleerly appeare i● you read Mat. 1. Ma●the● he begins first with Abraham v. 2. and thence to Judah v. 3. from Judah to D●●x●d ver 6. From David to Zorobabel v 13. then to Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary of whom was borne Jesus ver 16. Now Mary was one of the same house also and for this con●ider Jesus came from the loynes of David see Ma● 1. but that he could not doe if M●● had not been of the seed 〈◊〉 ●●vid For Christ came 〈…〉 not from him for 〈…〉 her not till shee had brought forth her first born Mat. 1. 25. Again the Angel told her that he was the Son of David saying And the Lord God will give unto him the throne of his father David Luke 1. 32. And againe The Jews knew this very well or else they would have been sure to have laid it open before all the world for they sought by all meanes to disown him And though they did through the divellishnesse of their unbeliefe disown him yet could they find no such thing as to question the right of his birth from Mary If it had been to be done they would no doubt haue done it they did not want malice to whet them on neither did they want meanes so far as might helpe forward their malice without manifest and apparent injury For they had exact Registers or records of their genealogies so that if they had had any colour for it they would sure have denyed him to have been the Son of David There was reasoning concerning him when he was with them Joh. 7. and I do believe part of it was about the generation of which he came And this was so commonly knowne that the blind man that sat by the way side could cry out Jesus thou Some of David have mercy on me thou Sonne of David have mercy on me Luke 18. 38 39. It was so common that he came from the loines of his Father David according to the flesh that it was not so much as once questioned And when Herod demanded Mat. 2. 4 5 6. of the chiefe Priests and Scibes of the people where Christ should be borne they said unto him in Bethlehem of Judea for thus it is written by the Prophet And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judea art not the least among the Princes of Judah for out of thee shall c●me a Governour that shall rule my people Israel For out of thee Mark that if Mary had not been of Judah Christ had not come out of Judah But Christ came out of Judah therefore Mary is also a daughter of Judah and this is evident as saith the
