Christ took not our persons, but our nature; that our nature being knit to the second Person, he might be a public Person: as Adam was a public man for all mankind. Therefore think of all the Promises in Christ as God-man, that he was the man Christ, made man for us. This is wondrous comfortable, let us solace our selves with it.

Take away Christ, and the promises in Christ, and what is there in the 1world? nothing but Idolatry, and Superstition, staggering, and wavering, and darkness, and blindness, and Popery, and devilishness. Who reigns in the world but the Devil, and Antichrist; Heathenism, and Paganism, and all filthiness? Take away Christ, the sound knowledge of Christ incarnate, and the sound knowledge of the Promises, the clear settled promises in Christ; and what is the life of man, but a horrible confusion, even a hell upon earth? Where Christ is not known, what are the lives of men, the utmost quintessence of them, but only projecting for an estate here in this world, and then to slip into hell? To live a Civil life, as morality perhaps may fit a man for that, and then to be cast into hell.
