§. 53. Of the difference betwixt the generation of the same Person as Son of God and Son of Man.
1. The Generation of the Son of God was eternal before the world, but of the Son of man in the last days of the world, 1 Pet. 1. 20. This was that fullness of time which the Apostle mentioneth, Gal. 4. 4. 2. The former was without mother, the latter without father. Thus may we reconcile these different terms, without Father, without mother, Heb. 7. 3. 3. By the former Christ did really and fully partake of the divine nature; He was true God, very God of very God; yet being a distinct Person, he became fit ⟨p. 39⟩to assume mans nature: By the latter, he so really assumed mans nature, as he became a true man: Man of the substance of his mother, and that after such a manner as he was declared thereby to be true God, and in that respect called the Son of God, Luk. 1. 35. yea, he was God manifested in the flesh, 1 Tim. 3. 16. 4. By the former he became fit to be a Mediator in all things which required divine dignity, authority, power, worth, merit, and efficacy; By the latter he became fit to be a Mediator in all such things as required infirmity, ministry, service, or any kind of suffering.
