The Son of man shall give it you, you need not fear it, God is become man on purpose to give it you, we may now boldly go to a Mediator which is made bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, we should have feared and trembled if he had only been God, but now all grace and comfort is hid in this nature of ours in Christ: if Christ had not took this poor wretched nature of ours upon him, it had been a hateful nature to God, God hated the nature ⟨p. 201⟩of man, but now because the Son of God is become the Son of man, our nature is become lovely in the eyes of God, and not only lovely, but it is filled in him with all grace, and of his fullness we receive grace for grace. He will give it therefore, because he is the Son of man.
