The coupling and combining of these two former titles together, contains the principal question of the whole Bible, which is, whether Jesus the son of Mary be Christ or no; as S. John saith, These things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that in believing ye might have life everlasting. 1This conclusion was denied by the Jews, but avouched and confirmed both by Christ and by his Apostles; and their principal argument was framed thus.2 He which hath the true notes of Christ is the Messiah or Christ indeed: but Jesus the Son of Mary hath the true notes of Christ: therefore Jesus is Christ. The proposition is opened at large in the prophesies of the old testament: the assumption is confirmed in the writings of the new testament: and the principal reasons of the confirmation are couched in the articles which concern the second person. The conclusion follows, and is set down as I have said, in the knitting together of the titles, Jesus and Christ.
