What all this while is become of the work every where in the Scripture assigned § 32 unto the Messiah? Who is that cast off unto? Who shall break the Serpents Head? Who shall take away the curse that entered on Sin? Who shall be a blessing unto all Nations? To whom shall the Gentiles be gathered to be saved by him? Who shall be a Priest after the Order of Melchizedek? Who shall have a Body prepared him to offer in stead of the Sacrifices of the Law? Who shall have his hands and feet pierced in his suffering, and his Vesture parted by Lot? Who shall make his Soul an Offering for sin? Who shall be bruised, grieved, and afflicted by God himself, because he shall bear the Iniquities of his People? Who shall make Atonement for Transgressors and bring in everlasting Righteousness? Who shall for ever make Intercession for Transgressors? And who shall sit at the Right Hand of God in his Rule over the whole world? All these things and sundry others of the like kind, are openly and frequently promised concerning the true Messiah, whereof not any of them is to be accomplished in or by him whom they look for. But these men indeed take a way to destroy all Religion, and to turn the whole Bible into a story of earthly things, without either Life, Spirit, or Heavenly Mystery in it.
