There are Two Natures in the Person of our Lord Redeemer; and with Respect unto both of them, we may say, He Lives.

:254p. 159–160

First; Our Lord Jesus Christ is GOD; and thus, tis one of His Attributes, He Lives for ever and ever. Immortality is one of His Perfections: He is from Everlasting to Everlasting. The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the Belief of every True Believer. That man is at best but a Bastard Christian, who denies the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord were no Sufficient Redeemer for us, i• He were not very GOD. None but a GOD, can Redeem a Soul, or Give to God a Ransom for it. The Name ⟨p. 160⟩of JEHOVAH is given to our Lord JESUS CHRIST, all the Bible over; A Name Incommunicable to any but GOD▪ and a Name which implies, That He is the Everliving God, the Ever Being one. The Doxology of Him, was that, Rom. 9. 5. He is over all, God Blessed for ever. We may so carry it on; We have a Redeemer, who is over all, God Living for ever.

:255p. 160–161

Secondly; Our Lord Jesus Christ is MAN. Indeed this man was Crucified and Murdered; and He was in Hades or the State of the Dead, for part of Three Days and Nights. But what is He, and where is He now? He Lives. If we now look for our great Redeemer in His Grave, we shall soon be advised, as they were, Luk 24. 6. He is not here, He is Risen Yea, our Lord, being Received up into Glory, Writes a Letter from Heaven to His Church on Earth, with this Advice; Rev. 1. 18 I am He that Lives; tho' I was Dead, behold, I am Alive now for ever more. Tis a remarkable passage, that fellows upon our Text: He […] stand at the last upon the Earth An horrible Bael between the Messiah, and the Serpent, is foretold in the Third Chapter of Genesis. The Earth was to be the Field
