And it must needs be so, for the head of 1Christians was a stranger: his love made him a stranger: for he left his fathers bosom, his love drew him from heaven to earth, and here, he conversed as a stranger: he dwelt in his body here as a tabernacle which he laid aside for a while, to work the work of out redemption; and then after to dwell in it for ever. He was the prime stranger of all strangers, he that makes us all strangers here and Citizens of heaven, he was a stranger on earth. He was not indeed a stranger: for he was Lord of heaven, and earth: yet in regard of his state of exaltation that was to come after; in regard of dispensation, he was here as a servant: he lived here as a stranger. And indeed he was as strangely used; for he came among his own, and his own knew him not, as it is in John 1. he was not known among his own Country 2men the Jews: he was a stranger on earth.

He was the prime stranger of all strangers, he that makes us all strangers here and Citizens of heaven, he was a stranger on earth. He was not indeed a stranger: for hee was Lord of heaven, and earth: yet in regard of his state of exaltation that was to come after; in regard of dispensation, he was here as a servant: he lived here as a stranger. And indeed he was as strangely used; for hee came among his owne, and his owne knew him not, as it is in Iohn 1. he was not knowne among his owne Countrie 2men the Iewes: hee was a stranger on earth.
