CHAP. VIII. Of Christ the Mediator.
IT pleased God in his eternal purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus his only begotten Son, according to a Covenant made between them both, to be the Mediator between God and Man; the Prophet, Priest, and King, the Head and Saviour of his Church, the Heir of all things, and Judge of the World; unto whom he did from all eternity give a people to be his feed, and to be by him in time redeemed, called, justified, sanctified, and glorified.
