Propos. V. That Jesus Christ, as Mediator, as Prophet, Priest, and King. The Mediatorial Office of Christ cometh under that three-fold respect, it is prophetical, Priestly, Kingly. Christ hath the Wisdom of a Prophet, the Holiness of a Priest, the Power of a King. This threefold Office may be particularly hinted at in that Scripture, Joh. 14. 6. where Christ saith, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As Priest he is the way unto the Father, as Prophet he is the truth, as King He is the life. The Elect of God, by reason of the Fall, are labouring under a three-fold Malady, & Misery, viz. Ignorance, Alienation from God, and Utter Inability to help themselves. To the first of these the prophetical Office of Christ does mediate or bring a Remedy, to the second, his Priestly, to the third his Kingly Office is a sovereign Help. He is that Prophet which the Lord spake unto Moses saying, I will raise up a Prophet like unto thee, and it shall come to pass, that whoever will not hearken unto my words which He shall ⟨p. 128⟩speak in my name, I will require it of […] Deut. 18. 19. So did the Disciples upon Knowledge and much Experience testify, that Knowledge and much Experience testify, that Jesus of Nazareth was a Prophet mighty in dee• and word before GOD, and all the people. Luc. 24. 19. Now, Christ is said to be a Prophet not in respect of Nature, but Office; not as God absolutely considered, but as Mediator. And God does not reveal his Will immediately but mediately by Jesus Christ. Heb. 1. 1•. God hath in these last days spoken to […] by his SON. Rev. 1. 1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto Him […] show unto his servants. Christ as the Prophet of his Church hath revealed all necessary Truth. So the holy Scriptures are from him. The blessed BIBLE is the Word of Christ, in special, Christ as the great Prophet of his people, has made known the Mystery of the New-Covenant. Likewise,
