That which is proper (as was said) to this PART, is, What hath been done in Christs own person. The particulars hereof are two, which I find in the text, (to the materials of which I confine my self, and shall take them in that order in which they lye:) 1. By way of sacrifice, having taken on him before God the enmities of both against each other, and so offering up his flesh as a sacrifice for both. The 2. By a voluntary assuming and gathering the persons of all the Elect into one BODY in himself: he representing and sustaining their persons, and so [in one body] reconciling them unto God.

Both are expressly and distinctly mentioned: The first in these words, Having abolished the enmity (namely, between them) in his flesh: which flesh, taking on him their enmities, was made a sacrifice on the Cross, therefore v. 16. By the Cross is added. The second in these words, That he might reconcile both to God in one body: and though both these were performed at once, and by one individual act, yet that act is to be looked at, as having these two distinct considerations concurring in it. And the first in order of nature, making way for the second, as in opening the connection of v. 15, and 16. I have already showed; I must handle them therefore each apart.
