1. As Christs humane nature was created of God and preserved by him like other creatures. 2. As Christ is Mediator he is deputed and sent of God, Joh. 3. 34. and he subjected himself to God, and set himself to do the will of God, and such works as God appointed him to do, Joh. 4. 34. & 9. 4. In these respects also God is his God. 3. As Christ God▪man was given by God to be an head to a mystical body,1 which is the Church, Eph. 5. 22. God thereupon entered into Covenant with him in the behalf of that body, Isa. 42. 6. & 49. 8. Thus is he called the Messenger, Mal. 3. 1. and Mediator of the Covenant, Heb. 8. 6. Now God is in an especial manner their God with whom he doth enter into Covenant▪ as he said unto Abraham, I will establish my Covenant between me and thee, &c. to be a God unto thee, &c. Gen. 17. 7. As God made a Covenant with Abraham and his Seed, so also with Christ and his Seed, which are all the Elect of God, even the whole Catholic Church▪ This is the Seed mentioned Isa. 53. 10. So as by this special relation betwixt God and Christ, God is his God, in Covenant with him▪ God also is in an especial manner the God of the Elect through Christ.
