And as he was in all things like to us,1 so in every thing that was in him, there was something extraordinary; as he was a man like to us, so he was an extraordinary man.

He was poor, as we are, but there were beams of his Godhead appeared; when he was poor, he could command a fish to furnish him: he dyed as we dye, but he made the earth to quake, the veil of the temple to rend, when he triumphed on the cross. All which declared he was more then an ordinary person.
