Exercitatio VIII. The First Dissertation concerning the Messiah, proving him to be promised of Old.
Principles presupposed in the Apostles Discourse in his Epistle to the Hebrews. First, A Messiah promised from the Foundation of the World. Of the Evil that is in the World. Of Sin and Punishment. Original and Entrance of them. Ignorance of Mankind about them. The Sin and Fall of Adam. Their Consequents. Jews Opinion about the Sin of Adam. Also of the Curse, and corruption of Nature. Their sense of both at large evinced. God not unjust if all mankind had perished in this condition. Instance of the Sin and Punishment of Angels. Differences between the Sin of Angels and Man. Angels lost, Mankind relieved. Evidences of that Deliverance. How attainable. Not by Men themselves. Not by Angels. Nor the Law. That proved against the Jews.

Observation of the Moral Precepts of the Law no means of Relief, nor the Sacrifices of it. The New Covenant. God the Author of it. How to be accomplished. The first Promise of it, Gen. 3.16. discussed. Sense of the Jews upon it; manifested: Examined. Promise of a Deliverer, the Foundation of all Religion in the World. The Promise renewed unto Abraham, Gen. 12.1, 2, 3. Nature of it as given unto him. Testified unto and confirmed, Gen. 49.10. Numb. 24.17, 19. Job 19.25
