He is precious in his person; he is Immanuel, God and man in one; his Deity is infinite ⟨p. 279⟩perfection; his humanity is full of the rich anointings of the Spirit; the union of the two natures is a pledge that God would be at one with us; the rich anointings of the Spirit make his humane nature to be a fountain of Grace, to run over and fill all the Believers in the world; every thing in his person is amiable, none neglect him but those that are at a distance from him: all that are in union with him, set the highest rate upon him; in their eyes other things are but dross in comparison of him; they put by all the world to set their hearts upon him; they cast away all their Idols to make room for him in their inner man; they part with carnal self, to espouse him in the highest love; they choose him not merely for his excellent benefits, but chiefly for his incomparable person; they rest not in his choicest gifts, but lift their affections up to him the great donor: nothing is so valuable to them as he.
