The Apostle having largely set forth the two natures of Christ, his divine and humane, and withal his excellency above all creatures by virtue of his divine nature; and the benefits that redound to us by his exercising of his three great offices in h•s humane nature, here he teacheth to make an especial use of all, which use is intended in these two words, Wherefore Consider.
THe Apostle having largely set forth the two natures of Christ, his divine and humane, and withall his excellency above all creatures by vertue of his divine nature; and the benefits that redound to us by his exer•ising of his three great offices in h•s humane nature, here he teacheth to make an especiall use of all, which use is intended in these two words, Wherefore Consider.
