§ 45 But the Jews except against our Application of this Psalm unto the Lord Jesus, as they imagine from our own principles, and greatly triumph in their supposed Advantage, indeed in their own blindness and ignorance. Jesus they tell us, in the opinion of Christians was God, and how can these things be spoken of God; how could God cry out, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, how could men pierce the hands and feet of God. And sundry of the like Queries are made by Kimchi on the several passages of this Psalm. But we know of how slender importance these things are. He who suffered was God; but he suffered not as God, nor in that wherein he was God; for he was man also, and as man, and in that wherein he was man, did he suffer. But their ignorance of the union of the Divine and Humane nature in the Person of Christ, each nature preserving its distinct properties and operations, is a thing which they would by no means be persuaded to part withal, because it stands them, as they suppose, in great stead, as furnishing them with those weak and pitiful Objections that they use to make against the Gospel.

§ 46 We have yet another signal Testimony unto the same purpose.
