It runs most connaturally to the Text, and comfortably to us, if neither Christ, Gal. 3.16. be understood as a private man, the Son of Mary: nor yet as Christ mystical, as 1 Cor. 12.12. But as Christ, a public person, and Head and Lord-Mediator. 1. He represents all the ⟨p. 314⟩Elect:¹ and so the word seed is taken individually. He takes all the promises and the weight of the whole Covenant of Grace and Covenant-promises off the Lords hand as the second Adam representing all the Family and House: Behold I and the children that God hath given me.

And so as Christ having the Gospel and Covenant-promises committed to him, so should it be with us: and this Tutor cannot miscarry, and so shall it be well with the Pupils and Minors.
