2And then he was justified by the Spirit, from all imputations of men, from the mis-conceits that the World had of him; they thought him to be a mere man, or a sinful man. No; he was more then a mere man; nay, more then a holy man, he was God-man. Whence were his Miracles? Were they not from his Divine Power? He overcame the Devil,2 in his temptations: Who can overcome the Devil, but he that is the Son of God? He cast out the Devils, and disposest them with his Word. All the enemies of Christ that ever were, at length he conquered them, and so declared himself mightily to be (as he was) the Son of God. 3He healed the outward man, and the inward man, by his Divine Power; he caused the spiritual as well as the bodily eyes to see, the dead to live, and the lame to go, &c. Whatsoever he did in the body he did in the soul likewise; in those excellent Miracles he was justified, and declared to be the Son of God, especially in his Resurrection and Ascension, and daily converting of souls by his Ministry; all being done by his Spirit, which is his Vicar in the World, ruling his Church, ⟨p. 77⟩and subduing his enemies; so that he was every way justified in the Spirit to be God, to be the true Messiah prophesied of, and promised to the Church. Therefore he was justified in his Truth, that all the Promises were true of him; and in his faithfulness, that he was faithful in performing the Promises he made; he was justified in his goodness, and mercy, and all those attributes; he was justified in the Spirit.
2And then he was justified by the Spirit, from all imputations of men, from the mis-conceits that the World had of him; they thought him to be a meere man, or a sinfull man. No; he was more then a meere man; nay, more then a holy man, he was God-man. Whence were his Miracles? Were they not from his Divine Power? He overcame the Devill,2 in his temptations: Who can overcome the Devill, but he that is the Sonne of God? He cast out the Devils, and dispossest them with his Word. All the enemies of Christ that ever were, at length he conquered them, and so declared himselfe mightily to be (as he was) the Sonne of God.
