2. We are now to consider the nature assumed, or united to the divine Person, which was an human nature, consisting of a true body, and a reasonable soul; so that as Christ is, in one nature, God equal with the Father, in the other he is Man, made, in all the essential properties of the human nature, like unto us. Here we may consider, (1.) That, since this is a matter of pure revelation, we have sufficient ground, from scripture, to assert, that our Saviour is both God and Man. Many of the scriptures, that have been before referred to, to prove his deity, expressly attribute to him an human, as well as a divine nature, and speak of the same Person as both God and Man; as when God styles him, _The Man that is my Fellow_, Zech. xiii. 7. or, when he, who is _Jehovah, our righteousness_, is also described as _a branch raised unto David_, Jer. xxiii. 5, 6. that is, of the seed of David; or, as the apostle says, he, _who is over all, God blessed for ever, was of the fathers concerning the flesh_, or his human nature, Rom. ix. 15. Moreover, when we read of the same Person, as styled, _The mighty God_, and yet _a Child born unto us, a Son given_, Isa. ix. 6. or of the same Person’s being called _Emmanuel, God with us_, and yet _born of a Virgin_, Isa. vii. 14. compared with Matt. i. 23. or, when we read of the _Word’s being made flesh, and dwelling among us_: and elsewhere, being called _the Son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord_, and yet _made of the seed of David, according to the flesh_, Rom. i. 3. or, _God manifest in the flesh_, 1 Tim. iii. 16. These, and many other scriptures, as plainly prove him to be man, as they do that he is God.[119] And, indeed, the arguments to prove his humanity, taken from thence, are not so much contested, as those that respect his proper deity; and therefore, if these scriptures prove him to be God, they contain as strong and conclusive arguments to prove him to be Man, so that the bare mention of them is sufficient, especially when we consider, as it cannot be denied, that all these scriptures speak of the same Person; therefore,
