There remain yet other descriptive notes of the Messiah, consisting in what he was to § 34 teach, and do, and suffer, all of them guiding the faith of the Church unto our Lord Jesus, who in all things fully answered unto them all. I shall briefly pass through them, according unto our design and purpose; and begin with what he was to teach. This Moses directs us unto, giving that great predescription of him, which we have Deut. 18.18, 19. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their Brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that wh•soever will not hearken unto my words, which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. This is that signal Testimony concerning the Messiah, which Philip urged out of Moses unto Nathaniel, John 1.45. which Peter not only applies unto him, but declares that he was solely intended in it, Acts 3.22, 23. and Stephen seals that application with his blood, Acts 7.37. Neither can, or do the Jews deny that the Messiah was to be a Prophet, or that he was promised unto the Church in the Wilderness in these words, but we shall consider the particulars of them.
