A Body of Practical Divinity

Use 1. Admire the Glory of this Mediator, he is God-Man, he is co-essentially glorious with the Father. All the Jews that saw Christ in the Flesh, did not see his God-head: all that saw the Man, did not see the Messiah. The Temple of Solomon within was embellished with Gold: Travellers, as they passed along, might see the outside of the Temple, but only the Priests saw the Glory which sparkled within the Temple; only Believers, who are made Priests unto God, Rev. 1.6. see Christ's glorious inside, the God-head shining through the Manhood.

Use 2. If Christ be [Greek or Hebrew], God Man in one Person, then look unto Jesus Christ alone for Salvation. There must be something of the Godhead to fasten our Hope upon; in Christ there's Godhead and Manhood Hypostatically united. If we could weep Rivers of Tears, out-fast Moses on the Mount, if we were exact Moralists, touching the Law blameless, if we could arrive at the highest degree of Sanctification ⟨p. 96⟩in this Life, all this would not save us without looking to the Merits of him who is God: our perfect Holiness in Heaven is not the cause of our Salvation, but the Righteousness of Jesus Christ. To this therefore did Paul fly, as to the Horns of the Altar, Phil. 3.9. That I may be found in him, not having my own righteousness. 'Tis true we may look to our Graces as Evidences of Salvation, but Christ's Blood only as the Cause. In the time of Noah's Flood, all that trusted to the high Hills and Trees, and not to the Ark, were drowned: Heb. 12.2. Looking unto Jesus; and so look unto him as to believe in him, that so Christ may not only be united to our Nature, but to our Persons, Joh. 20.31. That believing you may have life through his name.
