IN our beholding of the Glory of Christ herein, doth the Exercise of Faith in this Life principally consist; so the Apostle declares it, Phil. 3. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Yea doubtless, and I count all things loss for the Excellency of the Knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.—To know him, and the Power of his Resurrection, and the Fellowship of his Sufferings, and to be made conformable unto his Death. This ⟨p. 59⟩therefore we must treat of somewhat more at large.
THERE is one God, saith the Apostle, and one Mediator between God and Man, the Man Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 2. 5. In that great difference between God and Man occasioned by our Sin and Apostasy from him, which of it self could issue in nothing but the utter Ruin of the whole Race of Mankind, there was none in Heaven or Earth in their Original Nature and Operations, who was meet or able to make up a Righteous Peace between them. Yet must this be done by a Mediator, or cease for ever.
