3. He is an Alone Saviour. Therefore, Isa· 59.16 He saw there was no man, then did his A•m bring Salvation. None did join with him in that Glorious work of making Atonement and Reconciliation for the sins of his People· Heb. 9.7 The Apostle observes, that the High-Priest went alone into the holy place, not without Blood. None did go with the high Priest, when he did carry Blood into the holy place: He went alone, and thereby this Glorious Mystery of the Gospel wa• signified to us, that Jesus Christ alone by his Blood, did make Atonement for sin. And as there was none that joined with him therein, so neither did any man assist him in overcoming, and subduing the Enemies of our salvation. Sin, Satan and Death, no man did assist him in overcoming those Enemies. Isa. 63.3 He has trodden down his Enemies in the wine-press of the wrath of God; has done it Alone, of the people▪ there was None with him. ver. 5 He looked and there was none to help, therefore his own Arm brought Salvation. There is none but Christ to be the Saviour, for there is no other Mediator besides him. 1 Tim 2.5 There is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus. No other Mediator but ⟨p. 102⟩the Man Christ Jesus; that man who is God as well as man. God has not Appointed any other: Acts 4.12. Neither is there Salvation in any other Name given under Heaven whereby we must be saved. No Name but the Name of Jesus Christ is given whereby we must be saved. Therefore Christ is said not only to be a saviour, but the Saviour; that is the only one. Joh. 4.42 Christ is the Saviour of the world. There is no other saviour of the world, but only Jesus Christ: For there is none other can save, none other that is able to save an •mmortal Soul but only Christ. Thus we see what manner of Saviour He is.
