flesh Rom. 8. 3. and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 fashion or shape as a man which notes humane nature or feature simply considered Nor do the two Texts alledged for the interpreting of men as noting an abject condition serve for that purpose Psal. 82. 7. where it is said ye shall dye 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as men is so far from noting an abject condition that it plainly notes the condition of mortality common to all and the Emphasis is that though God said verse 6. they were Gods and all the Sons of the most High in respect of their office and dignity yet they should dye as common men and fast as one of the Princes Ainsworth's note is as earthly men as Adam that is as any other mortal man So after as one of the Princes that is of the other Princes of the world See the like Judges 16. 7 11 17. which also shews us how to understand the expression Judges 16. 7 11. that Sampson said of himself that he should be weak and be as one of men where men notes not the state of abject serv●le men debassd below other men or peculiar to some men in such a rank or estate but a state common to other men not elevated above ordinary men by an heroical Spirit and excellent strength which is apparent from the expressions verse 13. I shall be weak as one of men and verse 17. I shall be weak and be as all men or as Tremellius reads it sicut unus aliquis homo as some one man and so notes this that then he should have but the strength of one man Nor is that conceit of Grot●us in his note on Philip. 2. 7. any better made in the likeness of men when he was like to men to wit those first men that is without sin 2 Cor. 5. 21. which hath no example of using men for the first men and the Apostles expression like to that here Rom. 8. 3. rather ins●nuates the contrary that he was like to sinful men when he said God sending his own Son is the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh Therefore in the likeness of men is to be expounded of them as men according to their humane nature 11. Likeness of men notes not a bare image or representation or resemblance as in a vision or picture but as a Child is said to be begotten in his Fathers likeness Gen. 5. 3. And so the Authour to the Hebrews ch 2. 17. saith in all things it behoved Christ 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be made li●e unto his brethren that is to have the same humane nature in all parts that they have Thus it is said Rom. 9. 29. And as Esaias said before except the Lord of Sabboth had left us a seed we had been as Sodom and been made like as Gomorrah from Isa. 1. 9. where to be and to be like are the same More to the same purpose may be seen in Heinsius Aristar sac in nonnum c. 19. 12. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is well rendered made in the likeness of men but it is without Example or reason referred to an act of men as if they by their injurious usage had thus made him to be as ordinary and vulgar men who are endued with no Divine Power or he had by an act of will made himself in his sufferings as such but it was by the act of Gods Power that he was made in the likeness of men and it was when he assumed a humane Nature or to use the same Apostles words Gal. 4 4. But when the fulness of time was come God sent forth his Son made or born of a Woman made the same word which is used Philip. 2. 7. under the Law or as it is Luke 1. 35. The Holy Ghost shall come upon the● and the Power of the most High shall over-shadow thee And therefore it is expounded as expressing the time of his taking the form of a Servant and to be read when he was made in the likeness of men or as Dr. Pearson's Exposition hath it he took the form of a Servant by being made in the likeness of men that is as he after expresseth it when Christs body first was framed even then did he assume the form of a Servant In which expression he doth rightly make this place parallel to that of Heb. 10. 5. A body hast thou prepared me which answers to Psal. 40. 7. concerning which I shall use the words of Mr. Gataker in his Cinnus l. 2. c. 11. Junius and after him Pis●ator would have the Kingly Prophet to have had respect to that right of boaring the Servants ear and fastning it to his Masters post who was willing to be still a Servant mentioned Exod. 21. 6. when under the person of the Lord Christ he said Psal. 40. 7. Thou hast boared mine ears as if he had said thou hast addicted me to service and perpetual Ministry Whence Isa. c. 42. verse 1. Behold my Servant c. For which the Greeks and the Apostle following them Heb. 10. 5. but a body hast thou made up for me because to wit then he put on the form of a Servant when he assumed humane flesh and even the likeness of sinful flesh Rom. 8. 3. Philip. 2. 7. So that the Apostle shews not the identity but the coincidency of these the taking the form of a Servant being made in the likeness of men Nor can the taking the form of a Servant be referred either to the servile or mean condition he had when he conversed among men or his being made in the likeness of men to any subjection of himself consequent on his Apprehension Binding and Scourging 13. The word we translate in fashion signifies the outward habit of the body in Aristotles Categories the shape or figure of it in Geom 〈…〉 the various sc 〈…〉 uations of lines and angles in Rhetorick the various modes or manners of expressions in speech the gestures of the body the affections of the mind the accidents occurrences order of things subl●nary 1 Cor 7 31. Here it notes the shape or fea●ure of a man and that with reality of humane nature as form and likeness were also used 14. A man notes not either a man in his dejected 〈◊〉 so as that the sense should be being found in fashion or habite as a man that is in outward quality condition and acting no whi● differing from a common man it being the same with the likeness of men verse 7. nor as Grotius in his Note Schema is here axioma conspicuous dignity as often with the Greeks which word also the Syriak Interpreter here used And 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was seen As a man as Adam that is with dominion over all the creatures the Sea Winds Bread Water For which cause that which was said of Adam in Psal. 8. is applied mystically to Christ For neither is man put any where in the New

slew the Beasts but when having put on his linnen Robes he brought their blood into the Sanctuary before the Mercy-Seat So neither did Christ offer his sacrifice for our sins upon the Cross but when after his Resurrection being cloathed with Robes of Immortality and Glory he entered into Heaven the true Sanctuary and presented himself to God Wherefore to return to the foresaid passage Rom. 9. 5. When it is there said of whom according to the flesh for so the Greek hath it Christ came who is over all a God to be blessed for ever we ought by the authority of the Apostle himself to supply in our mind the other member of the opposition and to understand the place as if it had been said who according to the Spirit of holiness by the Resurrection from the dead is over all a God blessed for ever But if Christ be according to the Spirit of Holiness by the Resurrection from the dead that is according to his spiritual Body which he received by means of the Resurrection from the dead the Son of God in Power and accordingly a God over all he is not the Son of God in Power and accordingly a God over all by having the Divine Nature personally united to his Humane Nature but by the Glorification and Exaltation of his v●ry Humane Nature SECT 17. This Exception against the Argument is refuted I Reply that in this passage there are many errours 1. That Rom. 1. 3. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is to be rendered born rather than made For though I deny not that the Participle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 may signifie born yet here it is not so fitly thus rendered as made because it is not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 commonly used for birth or generation as Mat. 1. 16. Luke 1. 35. 57. 23. 29. Joh. 3. 41. 18. 37. Rom. 9. 11. but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Gal. 4. 4. nor is it said born of the Mother or Woman as in expressions of birth is usual Job 14. 1. Mat. 11. 11. Luke 7. 28. and the Preposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 doth note not the womb from whence he came but the matter out of which he was formed For doubtless of the seed of David according to the flesh Rom. 1. 3. is the same with of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh Acts 2. 30. now of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh notes the matter out of which he had flesh or a humane body and therefore the Father or antient Progenitour David is mentioned and his seed and the fruit of his loins as the Jew is said to come out of the loins of Abraham and Levi to be in his loins Heb. 7. 5 10. in respect of the matter out of which they came not the Mother or her Womb as the place from whence And 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 notes the Act of God answerable to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Acts 2. 30. raise up not the act of the Mother in bringing forth and therefore Rom. 1. 3. it is rightly translated made or as Piscator orti raised answerably to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sprang up Heb. 7. 14. 2. It is granted that according to the flesh notes a constituting part but that it notes a constituting part which Christ had only afore his Resurrection and not after his Resurrection is not to be granted For as it is now the humane body of Christ or humane nature is made of the seed of David and raised of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh sith it is the same numerical body and Christ is still the same man which was made or descended or sprang out of David notwithstanding any alteration in the outward estate or inherent qualities in his humanity or humane body it doth not become a constituting part in its humiliation and not a constituting part in his exaltation That very being which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh which was raised of the fruit of his loins according to the flesh was to sit on his Throne Acts 2. 30. and to reign Luke 1. 32 33. And therefore as the Exceptor argues that by the Spirit of Holiness cannot be meant the Soul or Divinity of Christ because he had both in our opinion at least in the daies of his flesh though the Soul were not then glorified I may argue by the Spirit of Holiness is not meant his glorified body because he had it though not then glorified even in the daies of his flesh 3. Which is more amply confirmed by shewing that according to the flesh notes not his fleshly body as he speaks that is Christs humane body in its debasement only but his humane nature For according to the flesh Rom. 1. 3. signifies by the same Authours opinion and the evidence arising from comparing the place the same that it doth Rom. 9. 5. now it signifies Rom 9. 5. the same which it doth ver 3. where Paul calls the Israelites his Brethren Kinsmen according to the flesh but he means not they were his Brethren or Kinsmen according to the flesh that is restrictively to their weakness debasement or mortality in opposition to their glorification and excluding that as inconsistent with their being his Brethren or Ki●smen according to the flesh But he means by according to the flesh their humane nature as men and as men descended from the same Ancestors and so in like manner when it is said Christ was from the Fathers according to the flesh the meaning is not according to his weak or inglorious condition precisely and exclusively to his glorified condition but simply according to his humane nature as descended from them whether in the daies of his flesh or exaltation without any discrimination Which is confirmed by our Saviours own speech to his Disciples Luke 24. 39. Behold my hands and my feet that it is I my self handle me and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have Therefore Christ supposed atter his Re●urrection that he had flesh that his humane Body was a fleshly Body the same according to the flesh that it was before which is also strengthened by the expressions Acts 2. 3 〈◊〉 that God raised him ●p of the fruit of Davids loins according to the flesh bu● God did not raise him up of the fruit of Dav●ds loins according to the flesh barely ●s weak mortal and deb●sed but simply as man descended from him therefore according to the flesh imports Christs humanity or humane body as from David without restriction to his low estate And v. 31. when it is said his flesh did not see corruption his body is still termed flesh the same flesh and not considered as weak for as such it saw a change which may be termed in some sort a corruption to wit a change from that weakness it had to a better form but as the constituting part of his humane nature
