4. He is promised under the Title of a King. Behold, a King shall rule in righteousness; and a Man shall be for a hiding-place from the Wind, and a covert from the Tempest, as Rivers of Waters in a dry place, as the shadow of a great Rock in a weary Land, Isa. 32. 1, 2.
5. He was promised under the name of an Elect Servant. Behold, my Servant whom I uphold, mine Elect in whom my Soul delighteth; I have put my Spirit upon him, he shall bring forth Judgment to the Gentiles: he shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the Streets; a bruised Reed shall he not break, and smoking Flax shall he not quench, Isa. 42. 1, 2, 3. Matt. 12. 18.
6. He was promised to Jeremiah under the name of the Lord our Righteousness. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper: he shall execute Judgment in the Earth, in his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the name wherewith he shall be called, The Lord, our Righteousness, Jer. 23. 5, 6.
