SERMON IX.
O Lord thou Son of David] The one word (O Lord) holdeth forth Christs Godhead, ⟨p. 91⟩the other (Son of David) holdeth forth his Man-hood; Here's the perfection of our Mediator, in that he is the substantial Covenant, and Emanuel, God with us,1 or God us in a personal union; the substantial marriage and alliance between the two houses of Heaven and Earth; God and clay: 2. He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Heb. 2.11. And why would he take part of flesh and blood, but because he would be a child of our house, vers. 14. 3. He would be of blood to us, not only come to the sick, and to our bed side, but would lie down and be sick, taking on him sick clay, and be in that condition of clay, a worm and not a man, that he might pay our debts; and would borrow a mans heart and bowels to sigh for us, mans eyes to weep for us, his Spouses body, legs and arms to be pierced for us, our earth, our breath, our life and soul, that he might breath out his life for us, a mans tongue and soul to pray for us; and yet he would remain God, that he might perfume the obedience of a High Priest with heaven, and give to justice blood that chambered in the veins and body of God, in whom God had a personal lodging.
