§. 85. Of Doctrines raised out of Heb. 2. 9.

I. OBjections against truth are to be answered. Thus such clouds as obscure truth will be removed. Thus may men be kept from forsaking the truth. This particle BUT, intendeth the Doctrine. See §. 68.

II. Christ is the Saviour of man. For he is Iesus. See §. 73.

III. Things supercelestiall may be seen. Supercelestials are such as are above the starres, even in the highest heaven, where Jesus hath abode ever since his ascension. There may we now see him: namely with the eyes of the soul. See §. 72.

IV. Truths invisible are most sure to Beleevers. They are Beleevers of whom the Apostle thus saith, We see. See §. 72.

Of Doctrines raised out of these words, made a little lower then the Angels, and out of these, Crowned with glory and honour, See §. 65.

V. Christ was incarnate that he might be a fit sacrifice. See §. 74, 75.

VI. Christ suffered unto death. His death is here expresly mentioned.

VII. Christs death was with great suffering. It is here stiled the suffering of death. See §. 76.

VIII. Great glory followed upon Christs great suffering. This phrase, the suffering of death, imports great suffering: and this, Crowned with glory, great glory: and the order of setting down these two, shews, that the later followed upon the former. See §. 74.

IX. Christs high dignity giveth proof of the subjection of all things under him. The Apostle here proveth that subjection by Christs Dignity. See §. 74.

X. Gods free grace was the procuring cause of Christs suffering for man. This is here directly set down. See §. 78.

XI. Gods grace and Christs merit may stand together. See §. 78.

XII. Christ was not swallowed up of death.

XIII. Christ actually and really died.

XIV. Christ began the cup of death to us. These three last Doctrines arise from this metaphor Tast. See §. 80.

XV. Christ died for all of all sorts. See §. 81.

XVI. Christ died not for himself. See §. 74.

XVII. God is no respecter of persons. For he gave his Sonne for all men. See §. 81.

XVIII. Mans good was the end of Christs sufferings. See §. 81.
