§ 2. The Position proved.
1. That our LORD Jesus Christ came into the WORLD to save ⟨p. 3⟩sinners, Luk. 5.32. I came not to call the Righteous, but Sinners to Repentance, Matth. 18.11. For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost. And 1 Tim. 1.15. — Christ Jesus came into the WORLD to save Sinners.
2. That our LORD Jesus Christ being come in the Flesh, did build up his own House, the Church of God, Heb. 3--6. For this Man [Christ Jesus] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, in as much as He who builded the House, hath more honour than the House. Moses was faithful in all his House, as a Servant, but Christ as a Son over his own House, the Church of God, 1 Tim. 3.15.
