The words of Schlictingius are. Sponsor foederis appellatur Jesus, quod nomine Dci nobis spoponderit, id est, fidem fecerit Deum foederis promissiones servaturum esse. Non verò quasi pro nobis spoponderit Deo, nostrorumve debitorum solutionem in se receperit. Nec enim nos misimus Christum sed Deus, cujus nomine Christus ad nos venit, foedus nobiscum panxit, ejusque promissiones ratas fore spopondit & in se recepit, ideoque nec sponsor simpliciter sed foederis sponsor nominatur. Spopondit aviem Christus pro foederis divini veritate, non tantùm quatenùs id firmum ratumque fore verbis perpetuo testatus est, sed etiam quatenus muneris sui fidem maximis rerum ipsarum comprobavit Documentis, tum perfectâ vit ae innocentia & sanctitate, tum divinis plané quae patravit operibus, tum mortis adeò truculentae, quam pro doctrin ae suae veritate subiit, perpessione. After which he subjoins a long Discourse about the Evidences which we have of the veracity of Christ. And herein we have a brief Account of their whole opinion concerning the Mediation of Christ. The words of Grotius are; Spopondit Christus. i. e. nos certos Promissi fecit, non solis verbis sed perpetuâ vitae saenctitate, morte ob id toleratâ, et miraculis plurimis, which are an Abridgement of the Discourse of Schlictingius. To the same purpose Dr. Hammond expounds it, that he was a sponsor or Surety for God unto the confirmation of the Promises of the Covenant.
