1. Christs divine nature. This is manifested in this Title, Son: and in this divine work, making the world, v. 2. 2. Christs humane nature. This is intimated under this phrase, purged our sins: which presupposeth blood: for blood only purgeth sin, chap. 9. 22. and blood demonstrateth Christs humane nature. 3. The distinction of Christs Person from the Person of the Father: This also is cleared by the Title Son, in this particle *By, twice used in the second verse, and by those phrases, Brightness of his glory; Image of his person. 4. The Union of Christs two Natures in one Person. This phrase, By himself purged our sins, declares the sufferings of his humane nature, and means it of his divine nature in one and the same person. 5. His Princely or Regal Office. This is set out in these three phrases, Heir of all ⟨p. 7⟩things: Upholding all things by the might of his power, Sate down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. 6. His Prophetical office. This is apparent in this phrase, God spake unto us by his Sonne. 7. His Priestly Office. For it appertains to a Priest to purge away sins, and to be ever at Gods right hand for us.
