The incarnation of Christ, is the foundation of all our comfort, and all good things which we enjoy. By it God comforts, §20Adam, The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpents head. Jacob is comforted by the vision of a ladder, reaching from heaven to earth: and this ladder is the son of God made man, Joh. 1. 51.
