1In answer unto this speaking of God in the Prophets, it is asserted, that in the Revelation of the Gospel, God spake in his Son. This is the main hinge on which all the Arguments of the Apostle in the whole Epistle do turn; this bears the stress of all the inferences afterwards by him insisted on. And therefore having mentioned it, he proceeds immediately unto that description of him, which gives evidence to all that he draws from this consideration. Now because no one Argument of the Apostle can be understood, unless this be rightly stated, we must on necessity insist somewhat largely upon it; and unto what we principally intend, some previous observations must be premised.
