I DESIGN not here to insist on the Explication, or Confirmation of this glorious Truth concerning the constitution of the Person of Christ in and by his Incarnation. What I can comprehend, what I do believe concerning it, I have fully declared in a large peculiar Treatise. Here I take the Truth it self as known, or as it may be thence learned. My present Business is only to stir up the Minds of Believers unto a due Contemplation of the Glory of Christ in the sacred Mysterious Constitution of his Person, as God and Man in one. So much as we abide herein, so much do we live by the Faith of the Son of God; and God can by a Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation open the Eyes of our Understandings, that we may behold this Glory unto our ineffable Consolation and Joy. And unto the diligent Discharge of our Duty herein, I shall offer the ensuing Directions.
