Here is manifestly a double making of these twain one: 1. The one expressed in time past; the other as to come, and to be perfected. 1. [Greek or Hebrew], who hath made both one, v. 14. and [Greek or Hebrew], having abolished, v. 15. in his own flesh personally. 2. [Greek or Hebrew], That he might make both one. The first antecedent, and already done; the other consequent, and ⟨p. 24⟩to be accomplished: the latter distinguished from the former, as the consequent or effect from its cause: He hath made both one, THAT HE MIGHT create both one into one new man; the influence and virtue of the first, bringing about the latter. And 2. accordingly in the Original, these two are further distinguished by words of a different import (though our Translation hath taken no notice of it, but hath folded them up each, under one and the same word [making one] so making them one indeed; But) the first [Greek or Hebrew] making one, v. 14. is of a more large signification, and is appliable and extendible to express (as here also it is intended) a virtual, influential making Us one in his own person, afore we are made one in our selves. The latter [Greek or Hebrew] (more restrictive) properly and strictly signifies Creation, [CREATING both one] or making both one by a new creation: And therefore [IN ONE NEW MAN,] is added as the product of this second kind of making: and this imports a physical efficiency, and working upon us; a moulding and forming us, by creation, into this oneness among our selves, although the mould in which this latter is wrought and cast, is his person also, [in himself:] Yet not in himself, considered personally and alone, but as uniting us to himself, and so working upon us concretely through in and by himself. And therefore 3. they differ, the first being performed in himself singly, personally when he was in this world, and especially on the Cross, and is therefore expressed as past, Hath made one, as a business done, and perfected already, as much (in respect of such a way making one) as ever it shall be. The other to be effected afterwards in us, in our several ages, and by degrees, as the new Creature is: that he might create of two, one new man.
