Those taught by God the Father, to know God the Son

2. Because there are so many arguments for it in that book, which Men say is the word of God. There are many reasons drawn from the Scriptures to prove that Jesus was the Son of God. It was fore-told, that the Messiah must come before the Sceptre departed from Judah That he must come while the Second Temple was standing; that he must come before Daniels Seventy Weeks were run out; and there never was any yet in the World to whom the Characters of the Messiah did in any probability belong, but only Jesus of Nazareth. The Miraculous conception of Christ is a great evidence for him, Luk. 1.35. The Voice of God from Heaven was very evidential of His Divinity. The testimony of John the Baptist ⟨p. 12⟩has a great deal of argument in it. The Miraculous works that were wrought by him, and by the Apostles in his Name, are very speaking arguments. God bore witness to him by divers signs and wonders & miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, Heb. 2.4. The Resurrection of Jesus on the third day according to his Prediction, is a great Witness for him. The rejection of the Jews soon after their Crucifying him, is a strong confirmation of this doctrine: These things are plainly held forth in the Scripture, and it is generally acknowledged that the Scripture is the word of God. The enlightened part of the World are generally of a mind, that the Scripture was given by inspiration from God. Men would count them out of their Wits, if they should not own the Scriptures to be the word of God. They think they must yield that, not only Orthodox Churches do own it, out the very Papists, & many other Heretics do. What-ever differences there are among •hen about the Explication of Scripture, yet •hey generally agree about the Divine Authority of it; and if that be indeed the word of God, then surely Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God.
