He was made of the Seed of David according to the Flesh: And hence again, he calleth himself the Off-spring of David; therefore, I say, he is said to be of their Flesh, their Loins, and is called their Son, Rom. 1. 4. Chap. 9. 5. Acts 2. 30. Revel. 22. 16.
3. He therefore is frequently called a Man, and the Son of Man. Then shall you see the Son of man coming in the Clouds of Heaven. When the Son of man shall come in his Glory, and all the Holy Angels with him. This Man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable Priesthood. It is therefore necessary that this Man have somewhat also to offer, Mat. 26. 63. Chap. 25. 30, 31. Heb. 7. 24. Chap. 8. 3. Chap. 10. 12.

What shall I say, Himself gave undeniable Demonstration of all this, when he said, he was dead; when he called to Thomas to put his Finger to, and behold his Hands, to reach to him his Hand and thrust it into his Side, and bid him he should not be faithless but believing. At another time when he stood in the midst of the Eleven, as they were troubled with the thoughts of Unbelief, he said, Behold my Hands and my Feet, that it is I my self, handle me, and see: for a Spirit bath not Flesh and Bones, as ye see me have, Joh. 20. 27.
