1. Christ is all the Parties of the Covenant of Grace, or rather both the Parties are comprehended in the Mediator's Person; he is both the Parties in three respects. (1.) Because of the Union of the two Natures ⟨p. 220⟩in his Blessed Person, he is God-Man, God made manifest in the Flesh. (2.) Because the Person who is Mediator, is upon both sides of the Covenant, as being one with the Father and Holy Ghost, he is on God's part, Joh. 5.7. 2 Cor. 9.13. And as he is one with us, he is on our side, Heb. 2.11.13. For both he that Sanctifieth, and they that are Sanctified, are all of one—(3.) He is not only upon both sides of the Covenant, but he contracts for both the Parties.
2. Christ obtains the Consent of both Parties, p. 459.
3. The everlastingness of the Covenant is comprised in Christ, he is God everlasting, yea, an everlasting Mediator, he was set up from everlasting, p. 462.
