§ 3 The first of this sort that occurs, is the First Promise before insisted on and vindicated; Gen. 3.15. It, (the seed of the Woman) shall bruise thy Head, the Head of the Serpent. Mention is made here expressly of the Messiah in the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem; and this Promise applied unto him after their manner. The seed of the Woman shall bruise the head of the Serpent, and they shall obtain, [Greek or Hebrew], healing, or a Plaster for the Heel (the hurt received by the Serpent) in the days of Messiah the King; so Jonathan; and Targ. Hierusal. useth words to the same Purpose. Both of them expressly refer the Promise to the days of the Messiah; that is, to himself, or the work that he was to do, whence they insert his name into the Text. And this is perfectly destructive unto the present pretensions of the Jews. The work here assigned unto him, of recovering the Evil of sin and misery brought on the world through the Temptation of the Serpent, is that wherewith they would have him to have nothing to do.
