1. As God had but one Son, and one only begotten Son, and he gave him for sinners;1 so Christ had two loves, one as God, and another as man, he gave them both out for us; and two glories, one as God, one as Man, and Mediator, the one was darkened for us, [Greek or Hebrew]; he emptied a Sea of glory for us, he poured it out for us, and for his other glory, he laid it down, as it were in hell, endured infinite wrath for us.
