1. The Names and Titles which are peculiar unto God, are in the Scripture given to Jesus Christ. e. g. He is expressly and frequently called GOD, and that not only in the New Testament but in the Old. It is said that the Angel spake unto Jacob, saying, I am the God of Bethel, Gen. 31. 11, 13. Now God the ⟨p. 58⟩Father is no where styled an Angel, wherefore that Angel who is the God of Bethel was none else but Christ the increated Angel of the everlasting Covenant. Again, when Jacob blessed Joseph's Children, he thus expressed himself, God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which led me all my life long unto this day, the Angel which Redeemed me from all […], bless the lads, Gen. 48. 15. 16. This Angel is called God, and the Redeemer, which is God's Title, Isa. 47. 4. The words cannot be applied unto any created Angel, for Jacob prayeth for a blessing from Him, as the Author of Redemption from all Evil. This then clearly proves that Christ is God, and that Jacob did so believe. And Job was of […] same Faith, Chapt. 19. 26.—In my flesh […] I see God, whom I shall see for my self, and mine eyes shall behold. God the Father cannot be seen with bodily eyes; He is the invisible God. The Divine Nature can not be seen, but Christ by reason of his being Flesh, may be seen; and at the latter day every eye shall behold Him: Then shall Job (and every one else) in his Flesh see God. Now Christ is not said to be God in respect of Similitude, as Angels are; or in respect of Office, as Magistrates are; but in respect of Nature. Christ Himself ⟨p. 59⟩Himself argued against the Jews, That i• was necessary that the Messiah should be […] another and an higher sense than […] o• Judah (who were but […] of him) are […] Gods; & therefore God by Nature Joh. 10. •• ▪ Hence He is said to be the true God, 1. Joh. 5. 20. We are in him that is true, even in his son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, & eternal life. We may not Affirm concerning any […] man, but only the Man Christ Jesus that he is the true God. He is also styled the Mighty God, Isai, 9. 6. And the great God, Tit. 2. 13. which Titles cannot without Blasphemy be given to any mere man or Creature, […]. 10. 17. Again, That glorious and fearful Name JEHOVAH is peculiar unto him who is the only True and Living God, That men might know that thou whose Name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
