If we look then to the sum of the words of this Chapter, they take in the sum and substance of the Gospel; for they take in these two, 1. The right description and manifestation of Jesus Christ, And 2. the unfolding and opening up of the Covenant of Redemption. Where these two are, there the sum of the Gospel is; but these two are here, therefore the sum of the Gospel is here. First, Jesus Christ is described, 1. In his Person and Natures, as God being Eternal, as Man being under Suffering. 2.

In His Exaltation, and Out-gate promised Him on the back of all His Sufferings and Humiliation.

2. The Covenant of Redemption is here described and set out, 1. In the particular Parties of it, God and the Mediator. 2. As to the Matter about which it was, the Seed that was given to Christ, and all whose iniquities met on him. 3. As to the mutual Engagements on both sides, the Son ⟨p. 2⟩
