1. What it is to be a Saviour. 2. What it is to come to be a Saviour. 3. What it is for Jesus to come to be a Saviour.
To these three briefly.
First, What it is to be a Saviour.
1. A Saviour supposeth some in misery, and himself one that is to deliver them.
2. A Saviour, is either such an one Ministerially, or Meritoriously.
Ministerially, is when one person engageth, or is engaged by virtue of respect or command from Superiors, to go and obtain by conquest or the Kings Redemption, the Captives or Persons grieved by the Tyranny of an Enemy. And thus was Moses and Joshua, and the Judges and Kings of Israel, Saviours.
