§. 113. Of the Resolution and Observations on Heb. 13. 8.
IN this verse is set down The Immutability of Christ.
Hereof are two parts.
1. A description of the person.
2. A declaration of the point.
The person is described by his two titles or names, Iesus, Christ.
The point is,
1. Expressed in this word, the same.
2. Amplified by a distinction of time: And this is distinguished,
1. By that which is past, Yesterday.
2. By that which is present, to day.
3. By that which is to come, for ever.

Doctrines.
I. People that have the same ground of faith that their Pastors had, have just cause to follow that faith. This ariseth from the inference of this verse upon the former. See §. 112.
II. Christ is a Saviour. The title Iesus demonstrateth as much. See Chap. 2. v. 9. §. 73.
III. Iesus is the anointed of God. The title Christ intendeth as much. See Chap. 3. v. 6. §. 54.
IV. Iesus Christ belongeth to Iews and Gentiles. In this respect the Hebrew name Iesus, and the Greek name Christ are both attributed to him. See Chap. 3. v. 1. §. 29.
V. Christ is eternall. Thus far may this word yesterday be extended. See Chap. 1. v. 10. §. 129.
VI. Christ was to his Church before his incarnation the same that he hath been since. To that time may yesterday be also applied. See §. 112.
VII. Christ is to every one in the time present, what he was before and will be after. This word to day, implieth so much. See §. 112.
VIII. What Christ hath been, and is, he ever will be. He is for ever the same, See §. 112.
IX. Christ is immutable. This is the main substance of the verse. See Chap. 1. v. 12. §. 141.
