We have opened the Words; it remaineth that we consider the sense and persuasion of the Hebrews in this matter; 2. Show the influence of this assertion into the Argument that the Apostle hath in hand: and 3. Annex a brief Scheme of the whole Lordship and Kingdom of Christ.

The Testimonies given to this Heirship of the Messiah in the Old Testament, sufficiently evidencing the faith of the Church guided by the rule thereof, will be mentioned afterwards. For the present I shall only intimate the continuance of this persuasion among the Jews, both then when the Apostle wrote unto them, and afterwards. To this purpose is that of Jonathan in the Targum on Zech. 4.7. [Greek or Hebrew]. ⟨p. 27⟩He shall reveal the Messiah whose name is from everlasting, who shall have the dominion over all Kingdoms. See Psal. 72.11. And of him who was brought before the Ancient of days, like the Son of Man, Dan. 7. to whom all power is given they say, [Greek or Hebrew], he is Messiah the King: So R. Solomon on the place: So R. Bechai on Exod. 23.21. My name is in him, he is called, saith he, [Greek or Hebrew], because in that name two significations are included, [Greek or Hebrew], a Lord, and [Greek or Hebrew], an Ambassador: the reasons of which Etymology out of the Greek and Latin Tongues he subjoins I confess foolishly enough: but yet he adds to our purpose. It may have a third signification of a Keeper, for the Targum instead of the Hebrew [Greek or Hebrew] hath [Greek or Hebrew] from [Greek or Hebrew]; because he, that is the Messiah, preserves or keeps the world, he is called [Greek or Hebrew], the Keeper of Israel; hence it appears, that he is the Lord of all things, they being put under him, and that the whole host of things above and below are in his hand. He is also the messenger of all above, and beneath, because God hath made him to rule over all; hath appointed him the Lord of his house, the Ruler of all he hath: which expressions how consonant they are to what is delivered by the Apostle in this place, and Chap. 3. is easily discerned.
