§. 162. Of Christs taking on him the Seed of Abraham.
Christ was indeed the Seed of the first woman, Gen. 3. 15. which was the mother of all mankind; His Genealogy therefore reacheth even unto Adam, Luke 3. 38. For Christ assumed the common nature of man, and not of any particular1 person. Yet here the Apostle ascendeth no higher then to Abraham, who was the twentieth generation from Adam, not excluding all who lived before Abraham, but restraining the benefit to such as are of the faith of Abraham, and in that respect children of Abraham, Gal. 3. 7, 9.
