We in order (not in time) believe first in Christ, 1and by Christ in God, who by him do believe in God, 1 Pet. 1.21. From the Institution of God, I am the way, John 14.6. From the Office of Christ. he is a Mediator. There is one God, and one ⟨p. 202⟩Mediator between God and man, 2the Man Christ Jesus. Extremes come not together, but by their middest. From the Nature of a just God unto a sinner. God in Christ is a tender Father, without Christ a consuming fire. Mans way to God, is by the Man God; for he is the Mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus.
